Something like this should be posted in my forums.

I think that it's a false positive by your virus scanner. I downloaded the file and scanned it with AVG as well as SpyBot. They both report it as being clean. Are you using Avast by any chance?

Yeah, i noticed 90% of the maps have "Thanks Kays for the script" in ReadMe,
I know these aren't the right forums, but I have to report something...

The map "Threat of the Creed" on your site is containing 1 virus (Win-Bifrose-BNX(Trj)
I have moved that virus to chest but my game still seems to be corrupted, BUT I'm not sure this virus caused it, I've installed a lot maps before this one so I may have just screwed some files.

Thanks.

I'm surprised that there actually has been any at all. At one time there quite a few people into creating maps but that died down after a while. Right now very few people are into it and almost no one is able to put a script together to make a map playable.

I have created a script which works on most player made map and some of the recent maps use that. I hope that more people discover it and that there are more maps submited..

Here's a link in case you haven't seen it and are looking for a script for your map.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about "Function Modifier", it does make roads and walls straight

I know you're probably already tired of this thread but :
Is there any reason why is so little maps created recently (2009.) at your site...
(btw, you're site is awesome)

Ctrl and the arrow keys are for zoom and rotate.

But I thought that when you were building a road, if you held down one of the Ctrl keys it would create a straight road.. It does the opposite in the editor. But, alas, when I went to check, it didn't. Maybe it only works on walls. It's been too long since I've actually played the game..

Sorry for replying so late, but I was away on one day vacation...
I guess I'll then wait before last OGAM release before trying it.

Sorry for sounding stupid, but I don't know if you have rebinded your ctrl button but mine is default binded to "Zoom on" and it doesn't seem to do anything when I press it.

There's no grids to aid in building roads. The Ctrl key goes give you more control, but it can be a pain to make a nice circle or bend.

I don't know if OGAM will ever be completely finished.

But Daxter has re-surfaced and has promised a new release in the near future. It sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to see how it plays.

Thanks for reply, I'm checking FAQs right now, i have 1 question tho...
is there any way of making some "grid" appear by tweaking game options or some mod, I'm having a big problem drawing symmetrical roads and using all possible space.

BTW do you think it's worth getting OGAM unofficial expansion until it's complete.
Thanks again !

Well, BoTG just came and went and no one really got into it for too long. So there's not much info published on it. We do have a few FAQs on it as well as a discussion forum. But I suppose you've already been there.

There are no BoTG maps since the editor is for BW2 only and I've not tried playing a BW2 map in BoTG to know if they will work or not.

C'mon, 40 views and no replies ... ?
I'm must say I'm deeply dissapointed in BW3 forums, for any other game i just had to wait 1 day at most...

Hello, I've started playing Black and White 2 about week ago, and by now I have completed Normal campaings twice and Battle of the Gods twice...

So my question is: " Could you please point me to some useful guides for "> God, something like most efficient city layout and useful tips for building metropolis with happy people inhabiting it ? "

And does anyone know some "> web sites for downloading BOTG maps.
Or is even possible to play maps with BOTG, so far I've only experienced crashes trying so.

I've posted on BOTG forums, and no one had replied, i hope I'll have more luck here...

Thanks for help !
