What style of mapping permmisions do you use?

[Austinia]

#1 is pointless to do in my opinion.

#2 is what I do.

#3 Why not just fill it in just in case? All you have to do is click the ball on the mouse.

Perfection is not pointless. Yes, in this case it is, but in certain situations, you'll have to use others. '1' and 'C' just won't cut it every time.

I voted "Other."

Even though I haven't really posted any maps on here yet, I have a very odd style of mapping where I try to go over the top and add unique parts to my maps.

My map creating process usually involves laying out the basics in a-map, saving the map as a image, and then printing my map on paper. This way I can sit down with a pen and sketch out what more I need to add or fix with my maps.

I also take up a lot of space with huge tilesets. :(

I dont try to be perfect with my maps either, I just add what I think will make that map different from the others and what not.

 

[SharpPoint]

For every map? I bet the printer doesn't like you. D:

I must admit that's a very unique style of mapping.

 

[DemonParia]

Every time I see a C that's not supposed to be there... I find myself viciously clicking until all of it is filled in.

Lol.

There is a 4th one, a mix between Perfection and laziness, where you only put like the mountain edges at 1, and the mountainous ground at C. I use that one.

That's just cheapness... I do the same thing.

 

[Banjora Marxvile]

It isn't cheapness. For example

1 C 1 CCC 1 is:
Mountain wall, mountainous ground, mountain wall, 3 lots of mountainous ground, mountain wall.

Not as cheap as completely filling it in.

You're getting Security and Cheapness confused.

This is security:

1 1 1 111 1 is:
Mountain wall, mountainous ground, mountain wall, 3 lots of mountainous ground, mountain wall.

This is security:

1 C C CCC C is:
Mountain wall, mountainous ground, mountain wall, 3 lots of mountainous ground, mountain wall.

But yes, your's is a different. (In which case you say the 'Other' option in the poll).

I usually use Perfection, but sometimes I use Security.

But then the ones using Security are usually edited to Perfection later on.

So for me, it's 'Perfection'. =D

So I am. Oh well.

I actually just realised I flit around the different styles. Sometimes I am a perfectionist, a security-ist, but never using the cheapness.

 

[TB Pro]

Cheapness is ftw. Too much time spent on useless stuff otherwise. Unless you wanna practice your Movement permissions.

 

[NarutoActor]

Cheapness is ftw. Too much time spent on useless stuff otherwise. Unless you wanna practice your Movement permissions.

well some people might slip up and in the newest a map pressing the left and right mouse key makes a whole area on movement permission so for one more scened go on the safe side

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

I do security most of the time, unless I need to use other movement permissions. Perfectionist methods would kill the fun of mapping, as well as waste too much time. Cheapness would make too many movement permission errors, allowing the player to wander into the mountains, trees, or even the blackness inside buildings. Security, is the best way for me, but that might not be for other people, y'know? I do movement permissions one at a time, so I don't have to worry about leftover spaces in mountain tiles or trees.

However, if necesarry, I'll try to go for perfectionism, but not too often. But never cheapness.

 

[psychicboy]

Im more a cheap\perfect type of guy myself >.> sometimes ill get lazy

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

I will use Cheapness if I'm a mapper.
Why block off the inside tiles?
The outside is enough. And I'm sure that I will never leave a tile like that.

Sercurity is for people who wants to waste their time doin' stuff that's not even needed.

As for Perfection, it ain't gonna suit my style. It just doesn't sound like... me...?

 

[Ray Maverick]

I like using the "Security" style. I think mapping permissions aren't that important in non-accesible places.
sometimes i use "cheapness" XD

I never use "Perfection", because i think its a huge waste of your precious free time, and it doesn't help at all.

 

[Mister Flogers]

Dont know any other way so secrity

 

[omegazeroINFI]

i like to make random invisible paths screwing with your ability to find your way through.

 

[NatureKeeper]

I use perfection most times or security. RARELY, I use cheapness, but in case only the tiles are walkable if they were acessible. (Etc... Green Tiles on the top of an un accesible mountain.)

 

[Father Ash]

Security. It's almost exactly like scribbling over the place then using a rubber to take off any parts where I went past the lines.
