~ Minas's little Map Tutorial ~ (with Photoshop)

[Minas]

the map must excatly in the middle of the image try to scale a bit smaller and put it more in the middle of the picture!

 

[AppleApe]

That just a pic of the .raw....
I uploaded it compressed (.zip), since I can't upload it as a .raw.

 

[Minas]

hmmm no problems with it, maybe you start it with macOS

[AppleApe]

Wow, what the!?
How did you get that to a .lnd??
If your question is am I running Macintosh, then yes!

 

[Minas]

try my lndromat version!

 

[AppleApe]

Sadly, it either does not know that the files it's asking for is actually in the folder it's looking at, or it has the previous problem...
Could it be made into a .dmg?  That's Mac's equivalent of a .exe!
Oh, and I tried making a .txt file for "AppleApe.lnd" it has citadel on it, and the other things, but it crashes when I try to open it,
and bwsurveyor does not work on Mac either.

 

[Minas]

thats sh*t . I have no sourcecode for the programm, you must ask "Andux" he have made the programm.

i dont know if he can convert it in a Mac Version.

But if you have finfished your .raw you can send me and i convert it in .lnd (and open it with BWSurveyor)

send to: aias[at]online.de

[AppleApe]

It's as finished as it's going to be in photoshop elements 4.0. 
Thanks, I uploaded it compressed again.
I put two in there, in case one does not work.
Also, I will check out "cross over"! 

 

[Minas]

At the moment i'm at work, but tonight or tomorrow i will do this!

 

[AppleApe]

Okay (and thanks)!

I have solution: Maybe you cab run on Mac OS a Virtuall Machine? On this Machine you can install a Windows XP!?

 

[AppleApe]

Thanks for the .lnds, but I tried putting .txts to one of them, however, it crashed.  Would it be possible to find some cords for a temple?
Just recently I got the B&WWorldMod to work on a nearby Windows, so I can do some mapping, but no .lnd creating, yet.
If you are talking about dual booting, yes, I have looked at that (after all you get Boot Camp assistant free with Snow Leopard).  :laugh2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADD ON/EDIT:
It's working now!
I tried installing BWSurveyor on the Windows,
but it says (when I open it) "wrong OS or OS version".
It's running XP and has service pack 3, and (as far as I have seen) it can't do anything "3D".
It has B&W on it, (so I can run the World Mod) but it does not work.

I suck at PhotoShop i cant make any map...

 

[linewalker]

I am so frustrated, my photoshop skills are extremely low and I have so many map ideas!!!  :help

Practice makes perfect.  Try your ideas out, draw them up, and learn from each attempt you make!

Only the script is missing, I'll be working on it when I have some more spare time, thanks Minas for the useful guide and GallopRider for the cheerful comment

 

[maestru]

the program dont work when i make a lnd file ... :help

 

[Minas]

hmm strange :/

 

[AppleApe]

Well, I tried this again in Windows 7, and Lndromat doesn't work!
I open it up, find and click on the .raw (height map), click Open, and it shuts off!
I don't see a .lnd anywhere....  Anyone know a fix?  ???  :banghead
