this may be in the wrong sub-forum, but can you tell me which of the two map editors is better? I'm having a hard time choosing ???

Being able to create polygons with infinite points would screw over existing maps, and it's just unfeasible; what if you draw a rectangle counterclockwise when Soldat is coded to solidify points which are organized in a clockwise fashion? It would just mess everything up. Triangles are the easiest and simplest.

BTW, there are more than 2 editors :P MapMaker Plus by Mark.jp was the most prefered before PolyWorks, which I also now recommend.
