Just upgraded to mv

[Str8studios]

Hey there, just dropping in to say hi, new to this forum and just got mv. I primarily used vx ace before in a failed project called the gloom. I'm terrible at mapping and good at writing and eventing, and my goal is to just finish a straight forward eight level barebones rpg. Any pointers or directions on how I could improve my map making skills would be appreciated. I should be posting here quite a bit.

Hi and welcome to da forums ^u^. There are quite a few tricks how to make maps better, my favorite tutorial is by @PandaMaru here http://rm-vx-ace.de/WBB4/index.php/Thread/267-Mapping-mit-Maru-Innenräume/
it's really good, but in German (maybe google translate will work a bit) ewe still, if you have any problems with mapping, eventing or something else feel free to ask anyone here (or me) ouo. Have a lot of fun here and Im hoping to see you around a lot~

I like mv better than ace, as far as it being intuitive and the plug in manager over scripts. I could work with scripts but sometimes I had issues and if you do have an error mv is much more specific. I think the sideview system being built in is a god send and I love the character generator. Don't love the amount of stock resources in the rtp, but there is always a trade off. Thanks for that link cunechan I will give it a shot, but I think I am hopeless. Sample maps for now!
