Title: [REL] High-Resolution World Maps
Post by: pyrozen on 2009-11-07 23:59:52
HI-RES WORLD MAPS
CREATED BY JEWELS

This release contains hi-res versions of the viewable world map, as well as the radar. They are a huge improvement over the originals, and recommend you install them ASAP. Jewels created these by hand, all i did was package them and get them working ingame.

Torn Map Version:

Color Map Version:

Radar(same in both packs):
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v220/pyrozen/Image1-21.jpg)

These were planned to go into the next WMRP release, but i couldn't justify holding them back. They are just to good to sit on my HD for weeks inuntil the next release. The color version, however, will be included in subsequent WMRP releases, so your gonna end up with one of them no matter what.

I do indeed request the color version of the big map, for team avalanches attempt to stick to the original. (i'd suggest have it as the default install with the option for the brown map

Agree'd for originality, Though i'll use this map, it's too good to pass up :-D

Thanks for putting the color version up. I tend to prefer the traditional look, but that torn map effect gives the original a run for it's money. I would probably use it if there was a map unrolling sound when you opened it.

This is beautiful. I love the tattered brown one. I deem it an acceptable deviation from the source material.

Honestly I like it as well, but i am sure the purists will frown upon it if it is the default option.

Excellent work.

I prefer the colour map though. I honestly can't say whether I am or not a purist. I like to mantain the traditional look of the FF VII game in practically every aspect but on the other hand I am open to modifications to the game, if they are an improvement.

Purist here, please make the brown map optional. It's nice though.

The color map will be part of the default distrabution for the WMRP. The torn version will probablyy be in an extra folder, so you simply overwrite the color one in your textures directory.

This will be even easier on sl1982 gets some kind of user friendly installer working as well. The screens looked very promising, and i whish i could help but i've never had luck with creating installers(go figure).

The installer is pretty much ready to go, just need to test it out. It has selections for all optional items and will install them automatically upon install.

o:  That's amazing.
That saves the trouble of a task I probably would not have done simply for an alternative map.

I am sooo anxious for that installer!! Nice!! Finally, some simplicity, lmao. Nah, but the all-in-one package sure is sweet!  :lol:

I'm excited as well, the installer will finally elimate the last hurlde when it comes to installing these mods.  many people are put off by them because manually chang LGPs can be a sticky process(the first time anyway).  The installer will be a huge help to these folks, as well as boosting popularity. Nice job sl1982!

Can you guys still release updates that don't use the installer. Many of us have such heavily modded files that running an installer tends to cause problems.

I dont plan on it. And there is no reason why it would kill any other modded files. The installer unpacks the lgp's that you have in your final fantasy folder and inserts the files it needs to and puts them back. Just the same as the old patch did, but better. And it backs up your lgp's so if you want to revert just copy the lgp's back to their respective places.

Maybe this has already been answered (not really sure), but by using an installer, it will contain the COMPLETE Team Avalanche mods? Or will you still continue whatever new pops up and then onto the installer?

Complete at that point. New releases will be a new installer. At the moment the avalanche release will include the gui, summon/spells, world map, and timu's barret. (Note: Not everything done, just whatever we have finished when i release something)

Not at all.  It's implied that it was accidental, I'm curious how much he.

help i just can't get this working, it says external textures on my maps. i used aali's lgp tools.
Title: Re: [REL] High-Resolution World Maps
Post by: pyrozen on 2009-11-17 19:40:59
you placed the texture files incorrectly. The PNG files should go in {ff7 root}/textures/WMRP/maps

the TEX files are placed correctly if you are seeing external texture, so just work on getting the PNGs in the correct place.
I'm so glad i made those place holders, it makes stuff like this so much easier ;)

LOL. Seems like you're really 'heavily promoting' the installer huh? xD It's like often people (including me) enquire about how-to-fix-this-and-that and you would say 'just use the beta installer', kekes, I just find it funny, no offences, ^o^
Title: Re: [REL] High-Resolution World Maps
Post by: drfeelgud88 on 2009-11-18 17:28:45
It's because he wants more feedback on it. Only a few people have tested it. He needs more people so that if he can decide whether to go ahead with a full release or not.

I am not promoting anything. The installer seems to work better then people manually doing things. Feel free to not use the installer. It doesn't really matter to me. But if people want help with something they better give me more information than 'this doesnt work' or i am not going to be able to help them. For that matter from now on the releases are going to be in installer form so u might as well get used to it.
