Custom Client For Mapping

[sirsk8aton]

So, I was thinking about making a client with a very large screen, making it easier for mapping. If I was to do so, would the map files be the same if I used them with a client with a smaller screen? I would think that they would give me some kinda buggy maps, but I'm not for sure. Anyone have the answer? Thanks!

no…If you use the map files on a smaller screen, it will crash the server or client, you need to find a converter then you can use the maps on a different screen.

Find? I highly doubt I would find one. Eh, oh well. Time to continue mapping on the same sized screen. Thanks for the input though.  :cheesy:

You would either have to delete your maps and redo them or or or you could find/make a converter.

Well, I don't have any maps that are already complete. I just started a fresh project with a buddy. It was just an idea I had because mapping on a small screen is incredibly tedious. Thank god for the screenshot map button!

That's a very short-sighted approach to maps.

The only reason this happens is because Origins wasn't designed to have dynamic screen sizes.

It's very possible to edit the camera if you want to, though. Hell, look at Crystalshire. We have some people playing in 1920x1080 and some playing in 800x450.
