How do two people work on one map (Collaborate)?

[Jun]

merging isnt really very easy, id suggest just e-mailing the map to each other and you working on the map 1 day, and your freind working on the map the next day or something like that

and on the plus side you would have plenty of backups in your e-mail

Most people use this strategy :thup:

Yes, you can both use it at the same time

The only things different about NewGen that you might want to learn is how to use Risc's colourizer when making tooltips, and how to customize the object editor. Besides that, it's exactly like vanilla WE, except that it has incredible built-in JASS support.

Should work fine. You don't even need NewGen. Just go to File -> Export triggers (make sure you're in the Trigger window) and import them into their terrained map.

I'm currently juggling around 4 map projects to keep me busy while my collab members slack off (each project has around 3 different people). Object data has always been the hardest for me so we've learned to always get that out of the way first. It's also a good foundation for the rest of the map to be based on.

As I mentioned before, if someone's to place the units you might aswell use non-modified units and then replace all units to customs when you're done. Then it doesn't matter if you import entire new Object file into the map.
