We need a rant forum for the map editor. I've tried making some new maps with the new features, and the process went like this:

 

1st attempt: No idea what is going on. By the time I figure out what I'm doing I can't find my cars (reset was not yet implimented). Quit.

 

2nd attempt: I tap the WASD buttons to move around, as slow as I can (not very slow actually). I try to figure out how to use terrain and after 10 minutes it finnally starts raising. A make a wall, but after I expirement with the cursor size options the map starts looking rather bad. I try and salvage it by making a large mesa to battle on by I end up flying into the wall and go under. I try and reset but I am still underneith the terrain. Quit.

 

3rd attempt. Rather doubtful at this point, I decide just to make a simple map, an empty airstrip. I start by making terrain walls around the map, but trying to box in the map at a decent hill height takes a good half-hour due to how slow terrain rises. I add some small bumps from terrain rises throughout the map to give it a natural look but the map now is extremely hard to place objects in. Not wanting to give up on my 30 minutes I try to put in a long thin block to represent a airstrip but it unfortinetly can't go as thin as it could so I end up raising the terrain around the airstrip in hopes of making it look better. I now try and put some pre-made objects on the strip so the map isn't very empty however I accidently click the object behind it and now it is having a seizure as I rotate around it, trying to move it back into place. Eventually the block goes so far that I can no longer grab it with my cursor. Quit, give up on creator.

 

Can we get some more people to try and make some maps in the World Creator? I realize not everyone uses it and doesn't realize how much it sucks. At this point the new scaling/rotating can go away, I just want it to got back to the way it was.

 

Oh and before you argue CarbonTech, I highly doubt anyone who makes good maps tries to make them as fast as possible.

I think I have a response to this;

 

In order for the new creator to be welcomed with opened arms, instructions need to be given.  When I first started to use Unity and Blender (even Sketch-up to an extent) I was absolutely lost on how to do stuff.  Thus begun my epic search of information on how to use those platforms.  This worked because many many many people use these programs and they have been around for a while, therefor there is documentation of it.  With the brand-new creator, there is no such documentation.  the only person who knows how to use it is CarbonTech himself.  He needs to share this information.  I have used the creator a few times, but have always given up because I have no clue how to use the controls.  If the instructions were given out (like they are for the rest of the game on Kongregate) then the community SHOULD welcome this change.

That would help... I turned it on, and BAM! I was hit in the head with the confused rock...

I can tell you that I can use what creator there is, but there are a lot of problems even with full instructions. Besides, if the Creator is becoming complicated so that it can no longer be picked up and worked with it is a problem in itself.

I made that map for the Soldier...

There are only two problem's I found, A) The world didn't load for 5 minutes , B) Sometimes the camera would get stuck inside a hill.
