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:

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.
