Need a createmaps map with all 6 TR maps

starwarsguy9875 · Post by **starwarsguy9875** » Sat Jan 31, 2009 1:41 am

Hello TR, I'm making an [url=http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=943540]animated main menu[/url] for Morrowind and I need a full map of Vvardenfell, Solshiem, and all 6 TR maps in one image created with the createmaps method using the console.

They don't have to be labeled or anything, I just need this resource to make it be the same style as the stuff I've already done.

If you need reference, [url=http://www.wolfiesden.com/games/morrowind/morrowindmaps.asp]these maps[/url] are what I've used so far, a very high resolution is preferred. Thanks to anyone who can help me in advance.

And... you can't do this yourself?

No, I don't have all six TR maps.

Why not wait 'till all six maps are done...?

Because I just want a map to make my mod, I don't actually need the mods at the moment.

And I need this to properly finish my mod.

We don't have them either.

You have the WIP's, so why can't you make a createmaps map with those?

Because they are just that, WIP files. Work-In-Progress files are, by definition, incomplete, not whole, low quality, not the final design, and/or look like shit. Maps 1 and 2 are pretty much done in regards to exteriors, though.

*sigh* I don't need the map itself to look that great, I'll be applying a lot of after effects to it anyway, I *could* make one myself with maps one and two, but the menu would look strange when it scrolled down though and past maps one and two to see it just end.

All I need is the image, it doesn't need to look supreme or anything.

I really don't feel like arguing about this, I've wanted to get a map like this working for over a year and now Timeslip says the code has been added to MGE, so I just need to finish the map, so.. can you make this or what?

I do believe that there are still many, many exteriors missing from the current WIPs (especially from the later maps). So at this moment it would likely be pointless.
I could be wrong, but still, there just wouldn't be enough of them to make a map from just yet, at least.

*Sigh* as I said it doesn't really matter if the map looks messed, I can fix it with Photoshop.

I think there are still holes in maps 4, 5 and 6...

It. doesn't. matter.

I can fix holes and other crappy looking things with the spot healing tool and the clone stamp tool. Plus with after effects it won't be noticeable. Anyway, regardless if the map is going to look good or not, I'd still be interested in a createmaps map, I need it for my animated menu.

I doubt that getting fed up with us is going to help. TR has never put out any kind of substandard product and we aren't going to start now by releasing images of incomplete maps. If you need a map that badly, draw it yourself. The general shape of the mainland is easily obtainable from several maps on this site.

I already have a labeled version with the map you have on the site, I just want to make a new one based on [url=http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=5LjtrYczTjk&fmt=18]this version I made[/url], which was made using a createmaps map.

A CreateMaps map will not be available until the maps are complete. Possibly before they're released, but definitely not before they're finished. Period.

I'm just a lowly modder, but I suspect you'll get the same answer from higher up.

Ok then, at least I got an actual answer other than all of this misleading stuff, thanks.

You guys can close this topic now (unless you want to give me a map).

he said the exact same thing everyone else was saying. There was no misleading. Strange how you listen to a modder over an admin and a moderator.
