Post by: diagostimo on February 16, 2012, 02:27:24 pm
Show Map
Version: 1.0
Type: Picture Event



Hi there, this is a basic picture showing event, that will show a map with an overlapped image for your location, enjoy :D

This event system will show a map image the size of the screen on the button press L (q key as default), with an overlapped flashing image to indicate the location on the map that you are at.

Demo

Instructions

Its all in the demo, also if you want the scrolls default image for creating your own map, you can find it in the project root folder, in making the image i overlapped my maps image onto the scroll, then over lapped the border of the scroll over this, and deleted any part of the map on the tear lines, also to make the grid on the map image itself, using gimp, go to filters/render/pattern/grid, and customize as you require, also the overlayed flashing square is the size of a single grid square, to line it up in the event config, it is calculated in pixles, not event squares, obviously edit this to grid with the map you are on 8)


Credits and Thanks




Author's Notes

Please feel free to use all resources included, the maps are from the anime one piece, so obviously they would be better suited for a based fan game :P

NO need :)


Although not required, I would suggest a screenshot for the system,since it is a visual add-on.

Much more better. :D

To make life easier for yourself, if you hold "Alt" while you press "Print Screen", it will only capture the active window and you won't have to manually crop it, which is a neat little time-saver.

Anyways, nice little event system, it has been a while since there have been some additions to the event database, so thank you. :)

thanks, i do prefer scripts for interface, but when you need something small, events are always the best scenario, and save all the time of faffing around :D
