Ali Ardavan said:Thank you Mercator.
Obviously this is not the map editor that shipped with Civ2.
Thank you Wobbegong for pointing out the link in Mercator's second post.
Mercator, since you have made it available for download, I suppose all I owe you is my gratitude, right?
You should stop being so bloody obscure then.Mercator said:Thank you Wobbegong for being the only person in the world who reads and understands my posts.
Wobbegong said:Don't worry, I get the same thing, especially over at Apolyton. Are you the only person in that forum who reads and understands my posts (and guides)?
BTW, if it wasn't for MapEdit I probably would never have made my Middle-earth map. I also used resource suppression, but limited it to specific areas by means of PSP and the MapEdit palette.

That's a bit cheeky.Mercator said:Probably. I think Boco understands half of them too.
I haven't seen Boco post for ages. That must mean nobody over there reads and understands my posts.Mercator said:I stopped posting at Apolyton though. I banned myself.
Yeah. I used Paint Shop Pro to fill out Christopher Tolkien's Middle-earth map with colours from the MapEdit palette. Low-density airbrush and colour-replacer tools were used to mix terrains such as plains and grassland. The MapEdit palette was then loaded to the image, before it was resized with a modified aspect ratio (horizontal compression). I ended up with a map of 32 725 pixels. The image was loaded into MapEdit where it was exported as an MP file. I used your modified version of the official Map Editor to clean up rivers, coastlines, mountain ranges and such. Actually, I think I switched between the Map Editor and PSP a number of times. The Gondor area is a compromise between the larger Middle-earth map and the detailed Gondor map (also by Christopher Tolkien); if you overlay them, they don't quite match up. I couldn't imagine trying to make accurate Civ2 maps (and especially gigamaps) using a method like this.Mercator said:Oh really? What made the map easier to make with MapEdit? Did you use an existing image of Middle-earth and convert that to a map?
We're kinda taking the piss, but stupid follow-up questions aren't the only sign that posts haven't been understood. There's nothing cryptic about Mercator's posts in this thread, so here it's a case of people not reading them or just lazily skimming the contents. Everyone does it; some more than others.ElephantU said:Those of us who understand you are the ones who DON'T post stupid followup questions...
