I'll ticket this right away.

EDIT: Done. If the ticket goes through, you'll have the option to toggle off the damage numbers and also the HUD. So prepare yourself for those more immersive 180 or 360 no-scope frag vids.

The guy who is doing it, Dan Norstrom, worked on the original Barkley. He made some graphics and the video, which is the only reason why people know the game. He also happens to be a close personal friend of gamesmasterjasper's and I'm always willing to help a fellow gaming revolutionary. Semper games.

Building up a world map using pictures of all the maps made thus far. Had to downgrade the pictures to 50% their original size so that MS paint doesn't overload, but now its getting to the point that it is overbearingly tedious to work with. Basically I'm just knitting all these pictures together to form one gigantic world map. Used for checking out that maps all connect properly, and to help the devs navigate the areas. I want B2 to be as well interconnected as Dark Souls 1 was. We'll see how that goes.

I've got one entire area with a few maps of other areas connected in the world map, down to 50%, and its around 4500x5000 pixels with some empty space in some areas where the maps doesn't align so that it would form a perfect rectangle. 10+ megs in size. I've noticed Paint sure as hell isn't designed for this because it keeps loving up in weird ways.

There must be a better way to do this, or then I just have to drop all the pictures down to something stupid like 10% their original size.

Hmm. I'll have to check out these programs. If they don't work out, well, I'll just have to draw it by hand on a piece of leather.


PS. Chef bought 600 pounds of diapers to set up a trap for our producer. When he opened the front door of the ToG HQ, all the diapers fell on him and killed him. Chef is the modern day Macaulay Culkin.

Gimp had to reserve 4 gigs of workspace to process the maps, and I was kinda worried the end result would be several hundred megs but in the end they came out as 10 meg .png files.

One of the areas needed a 18944 x 10392 sized template to fit it all. Combining all the areas into one was too much for Gimp to handle. It just crashed.

Just think of how much lovely content you can fit in there. It's like playing four bad games at once.

Anyways, while on the topic of maps and garbage, hold on to your fedoras because there is another awful mapsmake video processing right now. Just 10 more hours and I can begin editing it. Another 10 and I can upload. Another 10 and its on youtube.

I think I'll make this a multiple part thing with making npcs, quest and testing it all out later on. Right now I just got the mapsmake part.
