Title: Making Game Maps
Post by: Honkybear on October 18, 2013, 07:20:55 PM

Within Hall of Light they have game maps for some of the game.
 
 I was wondering how these are made is it just a case of taking screen shots and combining them to make one image or is this something that has been extracted from the game itself.
 
 Either way can someone enlighten me on how it's done.
 
Thanks

Not long ago Codetapper released a new tool for making gamemaps: http://codetapper.com/amiga/maptapper/
The support forum is on EAB: http://eab.abime.net/forumdisplay.php?f=123

And the final stage is plastering the map with dozens and dozens of stupid ugly HOL watermarks. For this reason, I don't grant permission to that site to host my maps.

The watermarks bother me too.

Glad to see I am not the only one.
