wondering

Ok. so I have messed with just about everything, even got a model imported from Max, my question is what is the purpose of Worldcraft?!?! and the dif files? I tried to do the tutorial but was lost wasn't exactly sure what the box area I was making was? I figured it was the game area. the compiling didn't seem to work right. Anyway if I can make objects in Max and can make the land in the v12 terraformer (belive I can do that with that tool) then what is the purpose for the .dif files? do i need them? can I go with out? sorry I'm a bit confused

Worldcraft is used to make INTERIORS (buildings). You can make terrain with Max, but you use Worldcraft to add the bases, buildings, etc...

I think you can use max to make indoor stuff as well, with the *.map exporter and map 2 dif exe. Some people dont have max though, and some people prefer Worldcraft. Maybe that is why you were confused.

well I go this problem now tried the tutorial and when I execute to compile the .map it says "Map2dif has caused an error in MAP2DIF.EXE. Map2Dif will now close" say to restart then. . . which I did still nothing? so here is my question either a) what the heck is wrong an dhow can I fix it or b)if I use max to make the .map file what do I do to use Map2Dif.exe no those files?
