Title: Map site.
Post by epiphany on 01/08/03 at 13:57:03

For all of you who needs maps, there's a new site growing bigger and bigger.

http://www.kilstk.com/site/index.htm

It's updated with new maps pretty much every day and the maps are made by me and Soulreap.

Just felt like posting it. And oh yea, if you find any errors in a map it would be nice if you sent a memo to epiphany or Soulreap about it.

Wow nice work guys. Too bad you don't have the sewers map yet lol. I haven't been back to BT since they changed the route so I'm looking for the current sewer map.

Anyone know where I can find it? Thanks :)

It looks great, my little quark is it woulda been niceif you would made the maps gif/png, as they dont difuse(is that the word they use for the jpg distortion) like jpg's do, they keep all their color information intact, but gif is 256 color limited.

I dont want the colours to be limited like that. :P And I dont really care if they diffuse, even on the ones with the worst quality (desert), it isnt hard to see where to go or read the text.

Btw, I've already got some sewers maps I've done, but I've got to change the colours etc. before it'll be put up..

you only use, like maybe 15 colors max so using .gif wouldn't be a problem.

Post by epiphany on 01/09/03 at 22:44:33

but all of those 15 colours arent included in the 256 .gif supported ones. But as I said, its not a big problem that they get screwed up. You can still see where to go. :P

Yes, your site does have ownage, ok, so what I'm typing next doesn't have anything to do with your site I'd just like to inform you on gif's

Gif's use 256 colors, 256 colors of any of the 16 million you can use, there's no set specific colors. Unles you open a new blank with a set limit of 256 colors, then your 256 limited, but if you start in 16 mil, when you save as give itll pick 256 colors to keep.

Hm... I guess I could thing about using .gif then. ::) I guess that most of the times I've saved something as a gif pic I've started from a new blank. :-[

Dont have to switch it, they look fine as jpg's, I'm just saying, they look clearer in gif.

Title: Re: Map site.
Post by Dan on 01/10/03 at 18:35:42

if you like I could make the swap from .jpg to .gif for you it wouldn't take me but maybe 5 minutes total if that long.

Title: Re: Map site.
Post by MoonDragon on 01/10/03 at 20:11:58

The diffusion of the jpg's will still be on the gif when its done, and I dont think it would be that hard to download a converter if he wanted to anyway.

I like the site. It is probably the best map site I've seen in a long time. Needless to say it is now in my favorites.

Maybe because it was posted on January 8 of 2003?

If you're looking for a map site you might want to consider browsing Vampyre's (Darla), her maps are great.
