ImmortalDreams Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 I made a little program for making map outlines for Eclipse!Help File:> Welcome to MapOutliner!> > I made this program for Eclipse which you can download from the website below.> http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/> > While creating dozens of maps for your Eclipse game, you may find them hard to maintain. Especially if you have a massive game world under construction. This program is here to help you keep track of where each map connects to one another and where a specific map is in general.> > To choose which direction(s) you can move into another map from, left click on one of these squares.> > ![](http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac270/neoyarn/Exmp1.png?t=1296873576)> > Click again to cycle through the options.> > ![](http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac270/neoyarn/exmp2.png?t=1296873618)> > The blue lines represent where you can move out of the map.> > To keep track of which map file number the map belongs to and what you named it in-game, right click on a square.> > Press the 'N' Key to start a new outline.> Press the 'S' Key to save an outline.> Press the 'O' Key to open an outline.> Press 'F9' to take a screen shot of your outline.> > If you want more squares in your grid then you will have to have multiple projects.> For example - I have a MapOutline project for every realm and area in my game.> Dividing your game into areas like that can make your outlines easier to manage.> > One last thing - If you get any error messages, just press ignore.

The New World Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Interesting concept, may prove useful to someone. Great job adding in Num: since not everyone names their maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
