Hey all! I'd like to give mapping a shot. As I've been experimenting and learning the various tools, I started wondering how you guys usually plan the map? Do you just jot down some streets and forests in your graphics-software? Do you use reference-images? I'm especially interested in how you accomodate for sizing? As in, "how long should I draw this road?" or "I need room for three houses here". Besides the planning phase, I'm also interested in hearing your build pipelines. I'm usually doing software development, and use Git for version controlling my code. Besides that I automate as much as possible, with either local build-scripts or dedicated continous integration-systems. Is it possible to automate any part of the pipeline in building a map? Can WorldEd and the other tools be used from console? I can't seem to find any documentation regarding this... Also, do you version control your projects? Also, any tips you feel I should know, before I jump in? Thanks a bunch, for your time! I hope you're enjoying the holidays. Best regards, Ragerin
