Staredit Network

i have seen alot of maps where there is a pictuare displayed in the mini map from different terrain being placed in diferent spots, i was wondering how this was done, is it done with a special program?

Yes, it was done by using BMP2SCM. Basically you can get a .bmp file and convert it into terrain. Using that program you can choose a color to replace the actual color. Be warned that this process is very time consuming AND it has to be a 128x128 size map and picture...well you can resize a picture though. There's many tutorials...so I'm not gonna explain

Its not too time consuming if you lower the colours.

Im getting tired of seeing players lust after Starcraft Terrains...thats just way too wierd.

The terrain of the map is not too important. The main thing is the idea and gameplay.
For example, my "Uprising" map's terrain looks like but my friends constantly try to beat it.

hm...go to sclegacy.com and download StarCraft Picture Mapper v2.0...

Its 100times better for making this Sexy Pics then using bmp2scm

Since when did we support pornography

Well, first you relinquish all you pride and ethics as a fellow respected mapmaker, add a bit of total pervertness, then you get some program off the internet for your lazy-ass self and finish it all up by putting your actual name on the map credits section!

-.-

Crispie said it right:

Actualy if you look at my first post i did NOT say that i wanted to make a Sexy Pics map, sure there kinda kool for the idea but still lame, and i was merely useing that as a well known example, and what is this supposed to mean "...then you get some programoff the internet for your lazy-ass self..." it becomes annoying how ppl like to missinterpret my posts and say something that i never said

We've interpreted your message as having an implicit message...

It's your fault anyway for bringing the whole Sexy Pictures up.

o really so it is my fault that i included a well known example to help ppl give me advice so i know how i can do things liike that? well im sorry if your perverted mind has to change things into a sexual perspective but next time just answer the question plz

Can someone close this topic plz i have learned what i wanted to know, and i dont want to continue it with a pointless arguement

Whats wrong with continuing this discussion on the issues of pornography and its place within a Game-Related Issue.

I find it wrong, mainly because it gives the wrong expression of sexual acts, which is that they are for lust and lust alone, however your learn in time! Plus it makes it out to be perfect...

.... ok Coko... ...?

How? You don't and pretend you did. That's how. For every pic map someone makes on bnet, baby jesus kills a kitten!

You don't want to be responsible for the deaths of baby kittens, now do you?

Translation: Those maps are done to death. If I wanted pr0n, I'd download it by the gig off any various filesharing source of convenience. Make something else.

He already said that hes not making porn! It may be for a bound... or idk... but its not pron!

You mean the appearance of the minimap is not important, the terrain is important however.

hey tuxedo what kow said is right but i am not even making a map with a picture in it just wanted to know what i needed to use so that i could do it in the future, if i wanted to. and i doubt that you dl porn by the gig because no one but microsoft and some other random ass company have internet connections that are that fast.

Uh... just to tell you, "Sexy pics" make Starcraft look pathetic. Get rid of it. The map has no triggers or units whatsoever, therefore it isn't even a map. God, get a life and start acting like 13 year olds. Sexy pics are for the immature.

People who want a PROGRAM to make their terrains are lazy and therefore should be thought of as low as possible

Deathknight if your not gonna read the posts stfu , and im older than thirteen



when was the last time that you tried to make a detailed picture in a 256x256 map with terrain? i think that using a short-cut is acceptable
