Ethical Question About Maps

[cbelva]

One of the problems with making new scenarios for DA is the lack of maps. There really isn't a good source unless you want to pay for them in order to get the size which will work for DA. I have been experimenting with using maps made with TOAW's scenario editor. They seem to work pretty good. The size work and they don't look bad either. Is there a problem making maps with TOAW and posting them with DA in a new scenario. Also, is it ok to use maps made by someone else. I would expect to give them credit. Before using them, should we contact that person and ask their permission to use their map? Thanks

I'll be posting more maps soon. If there is a particular map you're interested in, let me know and I'll see if I can't round it up. If I can, one of the other guys probably can. When we find it we can put it in a zip file and post it on the archive for everyone to use. Hope this helps.

Don,
Thanks for the reply and for posting the maps. I have most of those maps from when they were posted some time ago. I would still like to know others thought about using maps made with other programs like TOAW.
Thanks
