Map Maker Resources

@prastle More showing... rather than teaching.

what was it the Honourable Sir Winston Churchill said..."I am always willing to learn although I do not always like to be taught."

[prastle]

@hepps gigglez very true

[Hepps]

Here is some more stuff for resources... I will continue to add more as I do them.

Good stuff here. Slightly off topic. I'm trying to make the PUs for the global game look kick ass like redrum did for the unit numbers. Unfortunately I failed badly and deleted my attempt. Hopefully it's gone forever and not in some sort of ethernet purgatory.

Checked out TWWs bad ass looking stuff and thought I'd use those, but when I replace the "PUs" folder all i get is a black number. Tried again just replacing the PU "1" and it didn't show up at all. It shows up as a little dot that you can't see compared to the existing one. Idk why that is but ...

Got Iron war's to work but wasn't the right look.

Anyway , I know you have plenty going on, but if you're into it:

0_1531326331017_global PUs.zip

Also would be cool to have the heppster "Rock On " image as a flag. I have the neutral red cross one from global that I'm using now.

Feature request I guess. You're a developer too : )

I know I should try and figure this out myself but I'm still struggling with xml, github and computer stuff in general. Weak excuse i know : )

At any rate, Rock on

Peace Out

Oh yea, TWW got a "Atta Boy" on the lobby today : )

@beelee TWW PU markers are imbedded in the relief images. So they don't exist as a conventional PU image.

I would be happy to make a set for you though.

Did you want the exact same style as I created for TWW?

[beelee]

@hepps thanks for the reply Hepps. Was thinking just a darker outline for the existing global ones similar to what redrum did with the unit numbers.

I think the TWW ones would look cool but can't say for sure without being able to see them together. If it's not a lot of work though, it would be cool to have, I think. Others might want to use it.

Thanks

[Hepps]

@beelee I'll do 2 samples... then you can review and sign the contract for the full set.

[beelee]

@hepps heh heh : ) Thanks Brother !

[Hepps]

@beelee No problem... figure if the code developers can improve the engine... there might as well be a map developer who helps the map makers improve the maps.

Especially since I can't do what they do. Otherwise I'm just a "cone de l'orange"

[prastle]

@hepps rofl

[Hepps]

@prastle You laughing at my cone de l'orange?

[prastle]

@hepps Si Monsieur "Pilon".

[Hepps]

@prastle I knew you'd appreciate that one.

[Hepps]

@beelee So went a bit of a different direction with it.

Thought we could create something fresh and new.

Let me know what you think...

[redrum]

@hepps Probably need a bit more contrast for the numbers.

[Hepps]

@redrum Just a draft.

[beelee]

@hepps hey cool man ! Agree with redrum that the numbers need to stand out a bit more. Also would be cool to outline the original ones as well, for those that don't want to embrace change : ). People being conservative by nature : ) and all

[Hepps]

@beelee Yes the numbers would be bolder and with a slightly stronger outline. Was more interested in whether you liked the concept.

For the PU markers themselves... you can have both in the folder... but you have to set a default set. So if you want the new ones... then you'd have them as a default. If a player wanted the old ones they'd have to unzip the game and edit the PU folder themselves.

So the decision comes down to whether you would want the new design as the default setting... or whether it is just a secondary optional set placed in the PU folder that every player would have to alter themselves to use.

[beelee]

@hepps right on. I'll probably just go with the original for the default but it's always nice to have options. Thanks for your time on this
