The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Get yourself a download manager (frex, jDownloader or LeechGet)—they can resume a prematurely terminated download for you. (For politeness' sake, though, make sure you only open one thread per download.)

Okay, sorry it took me so long (I had a freaky problem with a new version of the GIMP refusing to antialias text, possibly because of my system settings—guess it's my own fault for using a beta). Here is the amended übermap with "Aoir Lake" in the place of "Minotaur Lake", and an...

No one's contacted me with any requests about the Khalifa yet, but I'll be glad to tweak the map if there's something that needs to be done in that regard. I'll relabel that lake for you as soon as this migraine goes away (this is a very bad time of year for me, headachewise). As for the big lake/in...

And here we have (::drumroll::) the amended Southlands map. The major differences include: much larger northern zone with the edge matching up with the southern border of the new übermap, sparse additional wooded patches connecting the two eastern forest zones, and the area around Meridius has been ...

you have needs version 1.42 of Boost, but you only have version 1.45 installed. I need older vervion of this library? Why so? >< You need the version that your copy of Wesnoth was compiled against, which happens to be different from the one you have installed. There are three possible fixes for you...

I suspect that the Northlands' deserts are temperate (cold) deserts, and I know marshes can occur even at permafrost latitudes (in fact, they're quite common there). Best guess: the Northlands are at about the same latitude as the southern part of the North-West Territories here in Canada, with a su...

Heh, it's been a while, hasn't it? I finally finished incorporating the South Guard map into the main map. Southlands/Meridia next. http://s4.postimage.org/11ourq3hg/all_wesnoth_b.jpg Note: the full-sized image at the other end of that link is 3.5MB, so you might not want to bother if you're on a di...

Specific option settings in the GIMP, I think (the program isn't specified in the wiki, but the Filter > Render > Difference Clouds menu sequence matches up). There are other ways to do pretty much everything mentioned on that page, though--for example, for coastlines I usually use Select > Border a...

Save early and often--every time I fail to follow that rule, I end up regretting it (even though the GIMP is quite stable most of the time under Linux).

@All: Yes, still alive, and working slowly at incorporating the South Guard map into the ubermap and Southlands map. Developments will eventually be posted. @Nagi: First off, my apologies if this comes across as a bit curt--I've had a migraine since Thursday, and it's not doing wonders for my diplom...

You still need some other form of interface for people who can't or won't use Javascript, and there aren't so many links up there that a pull-down menu is actually useful from a design point of view.

That looks much better to me than the earlier iterations. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the difference between your leafy areas and those in the regular forest is mostly contrast--the regular forest seems to use more strong shadows, and maybe brighter highlights as well, to break up the green.

@StDrake: I guess that means I'm going to have to go looking for the map for tSG and see if I can incorporate it without having to start over again. If not, yeah, I can cut it a bit--no reason there couldn't be a little more desert up there. @thespaceinvader: I should be able to fix some of that (ce...

@peet: I've just been using the GIMP, a general Photoshop-like image editor which can be downloaded from www.gimp.org . Other items that might be useful if you want to try making your own maps include the pack of brushes I attached to one of my earlier posts, the other brushes that live somewhere in...

That's probably a compression artefact--in order to shrink the filesizes down, I've been doing an RGB->indexed conversion before posting, which is potentially lossy. All the labels were treated in the same way.
