Websites for Map Makers:

The Map and Map Makers Archives (Project Red Engineering Module)

One of the biggest and best on the web, has a dedicated staff who man the PRED forums ready to help at the drop of a hat. All files mentioned in the course of the Primer can be found here in the Engineering Module. At the time of writing, the authors own site is pretty much the most comprehensive site with editing information, help, downloads and so on.


The Homeworld Map Archive (Llamaworld)

The longest running and most successful map site for homeworld. Has a good selection of maps as well as a smattering of helpful documents concerning Map Making. Until Project Red came along it was the ONLY resource for mappers in the community. The longest running and most popular among the community, has a small section on editing, mainly for Homeworld, but a great, nay the best collection of maps for both Homeworld and Homeworld: Cataclysm.

Drunken Pirates Clan Pages & forum

The DP have among their number some of the better and most prolific mappers in the HW community. They maintain an archive of the clans own maps, (a surprisingly large collection, they are indeed, a prolific bunch) and even better, they themselves are a friendly lot and always onhand
in their forums to help out any mapper with the odd question. This is also Medamanx's clan, or you can track him down at his own site:


Medamanx's Screenshot Archives


Medamanx uses MissionMan, the only person I know who does, and he certainly knows his stuff. If MissionMan is your thing then once you drag yourself away from the Screenshot Archive and into the help sections you'll find a number of help documents awaiting you. Meda also maintains his own forums at the site and is always happy to answer your questions on MissionMan.


jst Online Map Archive

Download every single map in one happy download of a neat self extracting/installing multiple map folders file. Updated often (and updates available seperately), its invaluble for begining your map collections, and maintaining them.

 

Trig?

Need to relearn all that Trigonometry? Or not even started there yet? Get everything you need to learn it here:

The Math and Physics Help Home Page
The Maths Index
Kenneth Boyd’s Trigonometry Crash Review
Coordinates and vectors in three dimensional space

Learning all that trig is a bore, I admit, but its pretty simple when you get down to it, these are the sites where I went to relearn everything I had promptly forgotten (something like 5 mins after I first learned). Its really invaluable for HW mapping, not absolutely essential, but it will make you a better mapper.
