Add a Mapping Section - 69andahalf - 06-20-2017

Hi we should have an area to talk about mapping so that we don't have to secretly hand out maps in dark alleyways.

This is just a reminder to Wire but you you can post your lovely comments anyways.

Loud approval.

I could certainly use feedback on Butterfly and what to do next.

Mappers are asking for a new subforum for map making. I think.

Because you said you were in bed, and that you'd forget about it the morning. I said that I'd make a thread to remind you, and now you don't want it! MAKE UP YOUR MIND WIRE! Argh!

It would be nice to have a kind of community standardized legend for drafting. Like, I notice people like pixel maps, so a set list of what colors mean what would be great


RE: Add a Mapping Section - Gannets - 06-22-2017

But I'm so used to just putting everything in the sprite thread!


RE: Add a Mapping Section - Frank_Stein - 06-23-2017

How easy is it to build maps in Byond? I've never touched it, but I'm making a pixel map station draft right now

I wouldn't say it's super difficult, just time consuming and has a lot of little things to play around with. I played around with it in the past, but when I was building Clarion off Dion's map I just sat down and worked through using cog2 as reference mainly.

(also wire plz)

Not too bad unless you use a 4k monitor, in which case, may God have mercy upon your soul.


RE: Add a Mapping Section - Wire - 06-25-2017

RE: Add a Mapping Section - Erev - 06-25-2017
