Building a New Map

[chillerhippie]

Hi, Back in the days of the 1st GTA, I decided to create a map of my local area. It took me a few months, but eventually, I got it done and even threw in a few missions for the hell of it.

I have decided I want to do this again, but since the map size of SA is so huge im going to do my home city.

I have not used any of the map editors for any of the gtas except the 1st one I would like to know which program is the best for creating a new map, (the easyer the better.) I have had a look at the gta map editor (which works on LC VC and SA,) but it looks very complicated.
I am wanting to create a map from scrap not edit SA, and from what i could see the editor can not do this.

the first GTA? u mean GTA1??? the 256 color top view game???

thats the one!
back in its day it was extreemly popular, with entire sites streemed around the net soley devoted to car modding on gta. there was also the odd few with a good mixture of modding tools/files etc

after 30 min of looking I cant find a single GTA modding website for the classic gta at least.

I found the rockstar classic free downloads though and im downloading the old game myself.

I seem to remember creating a cd with a few modding tools cars etc for gta, if I can find it il upload them but its been a very long time god knows where it could be

Since Rockstar are also giveing away GTA2, you might be intrested in this site http://www.fileplanet.com/16478/0/se...d-Theft-Auto-2
where you can find tools to edit gta2.

----Back to the subject----
Does anyone know of any map creating tools for use with san andreas?
