I've got a world map done...and it's...pretty bad, I'm not really good with photoshop. I was wondering if someone could spruce it up for me if they get bored or something? lol here's the original.


Here's the photoshop file too, if ya need it. xD

Can you do us a favor jobs, when you post an image, please save it as a JPG or GIF. For two reasons... JPG/GIF will work with the IMG tags, BMP will not, secondly BMPs take FOREVER to load (when compared to the aforementioned types)... not a flame or anything, just a request.

Yeah, sorry, I just have it as a bmp for my game and forgot to change it. ^_^;

Ouch, that isn't so nice. Sorry to say that. Some tips:
1. The water for sure looks like a pattern, the colors doesn't really match so you could think it's another planet with other colors on the water. You should try and make it blend more smoothly.

2. The whole land part is kinda strange too. There are these squares of grey(?) what that now is? And yellow, thats probably a desert? Then you should make that a lighter color perhaps.

3. The land parts should also shift color when it goes from green to yellow for example. It doesn't really get desert right away, you should try using a green/yellow color in between.

4. And try to make the edges a little more circle formed.

I'd bet you could do a better if you spend some more time on it.

Don't worry, I'm asking for help because I know it sucks.

The gray are towns, yellow is the desert on the part connected to the green, the yellow island is just another island with yellow-ish grass

I'm still spending time on it. ^_^ Thanks for the tips, I'll try some of your ideas as soon as my homework's done.

Make a program that loads the maps and places them in their proper place to make one big map... have BitBlit scale it for you

Yeah...I'm not that good at programming xD

I mean if I got some tips on how to start a program like that I might be able to...but not without a little push in the right direction...>.>;;

load the maps to a picbox thats large enough to fit the scaled size of a map x number of maps, use bitblt to draw them all and then export it to a bmp.

mis had it working very well with his old game, but it was choppy due to the tile quality and size it was made. So if you are aiming for a good map, it is best to do like our buddy Mith and make them scaled by no more then half

that map is horrible

lmao xD

Thanks for stating the obvious


And thanks grim, I'll give that a try...see what I can come up with ^_^

You can get the gist of the idea there, by subtracting from the bottom and right, it make the map area smaller.
