Are you even going to use it?

Side-note, recently I've been totally into designing almost-familiar-but-not-quite animal species, and megafauna have been close to my heart. <3

Oh cool!
Yes, I have a map, but I Goolgled one of the Map-Making Programs that you used a while ago, and, well... It wouldn't work somehow though. I was really dissappointed. But! I might try again soon though, to see if I can find out what i did wrong there.

Do you mean G-projector? Yeah, the current version is hella buggy. You might have to wait for a new one, or get the old one from here [link]

Thanks!
Oh.
Erm.
It tries to load... And... Then it comes up with an Error Message, Though!


Do you use it on Vista?

Yes, I used it on Vista. It also works on XP.

Oh yes, you need Java runtime installed, which you can download here: [link]

It still won't work. But. I think that I might have to Restart Windows too though, and, well, I can't do that right now though. lol.
So.
I shall try that later though.
