[DGD] map maker in lpc

[chris .]

im going to start a source forge project on this map maker. Ill be ambitious with 
this map maker, and it will be a monster. I have some first thoughts on it which i 
will share with you now, so that we can all have a share in the initial direction of 
this project.
I would like a map maker that can make not just terrains, but buildings, with 
common household objects inside (think morrowind), and tangible 'platforms' 
which can be sat upon, stood upon, and would have a mapping of other 
commands too.  And you could also build forests, and abandoned lots, and there 
would be more frameworks that would provide the know how for coders to build 
to their imaginations content.  I would want this map builder to build things in a 
unique, realistic, and especially non-repetitious way.  I am thinking of a complex 
program with a lot of parameters, and it may be a nightmare like sprintf code in 
lpc can be, but i feel it can be clever with organizization and proper OLC, and will 
help make a name for ourselves.  Between us, i have sensed possible arrogance 
at times from some members of the community, however i only wish to shine light 
that i am not an idiot, but am merely a father of 3 children and always in a rush and 
not always timely to articulate my thoughts like i wish i might.
If we worked on this together i think it will help get them on board, id like to see the 
whole community contribute to one project instead of everyone fighting for their own 
projects to reign.  Im crazy with ideas and i know you may think im crazy but i am 
mad with ideas and i cannot help myself.  For now i would like to stress my 
commitment to writing a killer map maker program.  I am to begin making a 
sourceforge on it now.  I will use the name dgd/lpc map maker.  You will find an empty 
slate there where we can begin drafting thoughts.  I will on my initiative write a vision 
of the code structure for this program, and you will be able to call me on where my 
ideas can be better, and you will be able to add ideas of your own from there.   But 
if you have any words and thoughts to say, from what i have said so far, than please 
say them now so i have your input before i write this vision.
Thanks all
chris
