NES World/Regional Maps Requests Thread

I use Paint Shop Pro 3. I DLed it off Chieftess' sig about a year ago, and it works well enough for my purposes.

 

[Cuivienen]

To you map makers, what kind off programs do you use to make them? Any free good ones, that can be downloaded? Anyway I shall be needing a good modern map soon.

Heh. I use Photoshop. My mom uses it for work, so we have it on our computer.

(Cue jealousy.)

I still am waiting for the 1914 NK map...

Panda's job, not mine.



I use Paint. There's no need for anything else; I can do a lot of tricks very easily.

The only problem with Paint is the lack of layers. It would be annoying to do something with shrouds, and hell to do something like Iggy's city map.

I have Adobe Photoshop 7 but I cant do crap with it.

Shrouds are easy enough, took a grand total of five seconds to do for my NES. City maps, yes, they would be harder.

What about the pretty type of shroud that fades to black?

Layers would be very nice. But I have to manually draw in the shroud every update, so when I say "Update done, just have to do the map" it takes half an hour.

I'm looking forward to the point where the whole world is known and the shroud is gone.

Are we anywhere near that point? I hope not...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Well, you'll find out if we're near this point once the whole world is discovered.

You've already told us that your world map is almost as big as the usual NES World map, so...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I was wondering when someone would point that out.

There's one of the limitations right there.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I just use the spray paint tool and darken out all the areas you're not supposed to know about.

Ditto. It takes some time, but all you need to do is to spray around the known places, cut/paste and fill in with black.

I agree with that completely, but he seems to have abandoned it. Not that I blame him; had it been an easy task I would've done it myself.

He didn't abandon it. He's just busy (having talked to him about this very subject a couple of days ago).


Using a paintbrush for a shroud is such a waste of time... Seriously, very easy in paint, though it's hard to describe.
