I havent been around the UO scene in a LONG time, a few of you may remember me or may not

, but i was making a shard a long time ago called Scathelok.
I was wondering if theres anyone i could chat with on aim or msn or anything regularly about map making. I just have a ton of a questions because I do forget a lot of things and i see most of the tutorials are gone.
I'll just ask a couple general questions of mine:
Is dragonmod11 still worth using now that Map Generator is out? The only difference i saw in a post was that Map Generator is better for people who us UO3d but who uses that
And, for anyone that uses RunUO what is the best way to test a map that you made? I saw the tutorial in the map forum below but it didnt quite work well for me.
