Staredit Network -> Melee Chat -> Making posters of locked maps
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Staredit.Net Essence on 2005-05-23 at 10:20:24
At work we have a 36inch wide plotter that accepts rolls of poster quality paper. I have printed Lost Temple at high quality by going into StarEdit and doind a printScreen and pasting the images together in paint. The resulting poster looks amazing. Anyway I want to make posters of the WCG maps, however I cant open them in StarEdit because they are locked. Is there any way I can view locked maps outside of an in game replay?

Thanks

No. Im sure there are unprotected versions somewhere, but no one would trust you enough to give them to you.

Also, there actually IS a way, but it is really not cool. There are map Unprotectors, but why would you unprotect a protected map? Its done for a reason.

What maps?
Some are by blizzard and i have unprotected versions.

Use Map Generator. It lets you create a fullsize image of the map even if it's locked.

Is this like SCM>JPEG tool by techno_duck (or whatever his name is)? Because there are still some protected maps that will result in an error message (usually "the file is invalid or corrupt") in the DOS window. I think I'll go try Map Generator out.

That program either
A) Fails to show doodads properly...
or
B) Puts random (completely different) tiles all over the map.

You should make posters and sell them in korea, I'm sure all those SC fanatics would go crazy over a huge LT poster or a pro map poster. Get some posters of pro players too biggrin.gif Hell, I would want one too!

Unfortunately, yes. But a small amount of copy/pasting can fix that.

Yea you can use the sc map generator or w/e and make it print out the largest screen shot. But do keep in mind that those take a while to load/open and they're rather... huge.

I dl'ed the map generator software, but i get an error saying the file is corrupted when i try to convert any map. I am using 1.12b software, but that shouldnt matter right?

Thanks

You dont need to put your name after your post.

Just use the maps Wesmic has.

Stop right there, you will not recieve such a program, nor will you ask for one again.

WCG maps are protected using their own method not ProEdit ... which appears to mess with the terrain section of the chk fille.

Hmmm... i wonder how Silent(U) got the unprotected WCG maps and then gave them to me then...

Why not ask if someone owns the unprotected versions. Then just ask them to give you an image for it.

Quite easy.

Ok, lets see how simple this is

would someone please give me a HIGH quality image of all the WCG maps. I would like the resolution to be at LEAST 4k by 4k. Which is what I would get out of stitching together screen grabs from star edit. I have found that I need this high quality to print maps at 36inch by 36inch

my email is clintmeyer@gmail.com

Cheers
