Time table. I am a very impatient person, and want to get it done as fast as possible but I know I cant hurry or I'll f88k it all up.

for me, it's texturing

Yes same here. Texturing is my least fave. It's hard to pick the right texture for stuff, and make it work with everything else.

hmm...well ,lets c
1-texturing ,specially when organizing multiple brushes 2gether
2-patch and lod terrain manupilation,if u make a mistake there isnt any undo ,since i use it alot (undo funciton) i sometimes click it deleting the whole thing

3-small brushes 2 make a whole look more realistic,u keep adding alot of small brushes on the ground and on the object that has the hole (no not that

)in ur map
4-furniture is also a little annoying since its a little similar 2 the previous one,u have 2 place alot of it so it looks real
5-most thing i hate though is mohradient itself.so primitive ,and its soooo buggy .i cant rotate a freakin dead body without it crashing .there are also alot of stuff in radient that just makes u wanna blow the damn monito out of ur face

.

edit:i also forgot compiling

Waiting a lot of hours for a compile and then find out it looks crappy

LOD terrain and compiling times are a big pain for me...

I have a feeling LOD Terrain is hard for quite a few ppl. It would be cool to have a sticky about tricks of the trade for easy (if possible) terrain manipulation.

Texturing, I can create a building or an area in not much time, but texturing it all properly takes twice the time as to build it.!!!

And what JV_MAP said, waiting in great anticapation as it compiles for hours then just to find out half of everything ain't 4 sh!t.

Waiting a lot of hours for a compile and then find out it looks crappy

this is the most annoying thing,specially when u think everything is fixed and u do a final compile and wait hours and hours 2 find just one small tiny little thing that looks horribly wrong

.

Compiling doesnt count, I mean who Enjoys! compiling?

after u think of it actually its not that bad because

I even picked up myself playing Age of Empires 2 while waiting for compiling lol!!!

u get 2 catch up on games and stuff

.usually i go around my harddrive organising folders and stuff cause everything is so messy here (120 gbs)
but i do play games sometimes since my computer can handle the punishment (compiling + games)

This may be alittle off topic, but M&M you dont have to worry. You have plenty of spare computers around to do stuff with.

edit:and mine has the best specs of all the others .
