Djinni of the Bottle Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 I'd like to start a new story but it would require a map that isn't available. Is there a way to make my own like how I would with a supergroup base? 1

Zhym Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 I believe at least part of the reason custom maps aren't available is that pathing (i.e., how mobs and NPC move around the map) is sort of hand-coded into each map. Custom maps can really confuse the AI. 2

You can even see that if you have a Mastermind and try controlling your pets/minions through your base. 1 AE SFMA Arcs: The Meteors (Arc id 42079) | Dark Deeds in Galaxy City: Part One.

Zhym Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) What kind of map did you have in mind, BTW? AE authors have made some really creative use of the available maps. And most AE story-mode players know the engine's limitations, so we tend to set our suspension of disbelief on "high" for things like that. Edited November 27, 2022 by Zhym 1

Yeah, I've seen some very creative uses of maps over the last while. All with keeping things in theme. Seems to work.
