Start with Framework or Landscape?

Core General
#1

Hey all!

Is it just as easy to start with a landscape and add in CTF components later or should I start with the CTF Framework and then replace all of terrain and sky assets etc?

I'd rather start with a landscape for my game and then once I have it all built out then add the CTF components after but I'm afraid my skill level might not be up to par for that if it is more difficult.

Hi Boans
The frameworks don't come with terrain just some floor panels, which is the same as a blank game, and both come with sky assets. I normally start with the framework, I find it easier to have the basic game logic there from the start.
If starting with the framework you do need to set the number of required players to 1 otherwise you are stuck in lobby mode. (GameSettings > Game State Settings > Lobby Required Players)

There is no terrain copy functionality within the Core editor but you can still copy a terrain between maps by going into Windows Explorer and manually copying the .terrain file from the source games folder into the new games folder.
