One pixel on the map corresponds to one board tile. I use the player position coordinates on the board, add values based on which board the player is on, and use the result to put the location icon on the map.

What I have planned is to use a compass-like system instead...and have an extra arrow point to the nearest town, and a red arrow point to the next objective. It will take forever to make, i know Sad

Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 05:37:20 AM: It is several big boards Cesque, you notice as soon as you get to move around more.

Post by: Cesque on January 18, 2004, 05:38:54 AM: All right, then...

Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 05:43:15 AM: You move to the sid and eventually you move on the board, instead of the board moving behind you, and you reach the edge and you are on another board, they are big boards though...

Post by: Xorlak on January 18, 2004, 09:55:55 AM: 35 65x65 boards, in fact.

Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 09:59:49 AM: Wow, I never counted but I did not think there would be that many...

Post by: Cesque on January 18, 2004, 10:07:11 AM: Okay, okay, now how much of these are 100% water?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 10:09:11 AM: I do not know, 15 maybe? There are probably 20 with mostly water and about 25 with at least a little water...

Post by: Mark of the Dragon on January 18, 2004, 12:10:11 PM: Damn...that's a lot of boards.

Dark Age had only 9, right?

Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 01:31:56 PM: I did not get into Dark Age much, the default battle system really annoyed me.

Post by: Cesque on January 18, 2004, 01:48:25 PM: 9? Nah! I remember it having much more, but mostly consistent of water, and propably of smaller size. Also, one board had 2 variations, with Varda castle and with mist and Mortis' castle.

Post by: Haraldur on January 18, 2004, 02:10:51 PM: I think he was referring to the amount of boards on the world map...
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Cesque on January 18, 2004, 03:34:03 PM: Yes, and I think he's wrong, as I remember prying through DA1 files, too (ever found that sea coast board with blue crystal? Wink ) and there were more boards plus the two-versional one I mentioned.

Heh, actually only 4 or 5.

The first Dark Age had 30 at 50x50, but about half were completely water.
