Why is it that all the other patterns seem to be shrunk in proportion, but the Casper pattern is the same size in small & large?

Just curious...

The casper pattern is much more bearable now to mine eyes...although the pink is still horrific...my opinion as you know. :)

he said a few pages back that this map makes his eyes bleed (or something along those lines) and that he won't be able to stamp it and he'll let some other CA do it :mrgreen:

Re: Patch Wars [27.Dec.11] - V10 - p1&12 - GFX done?

Post by gimil »

In the spirit of the New Year I have decided that I have to man up and get on with it ;)

For the most part this map. I actually find the small map much much better on the eyes than the large. Since I seem to be the only one who has a real issue with the textures on the map then I can live with the map since I can look and play on the small.

Image

I have 2 minor issues/suggestions but they are not big enough for me not to stamp the map:
-I feel that the 'patch war' title could be moved up a pixel or two...just to center it in the space. There is more space between your sig and the title than the title and map. Which feel a little off to me.
- I don't know why..but I feel that the legends bonus patches (the squares with numbers in them) would look better if they swapped with the plane/car and impassable section of the legends.

Apart from that I don't really see any other issues.
What do you know about map making, bitch?

the title stays as it is for the moment because i haven't decided if i'll do the xml myself or ask somebody for help. so whenever i decide i will tweak it either to center it better or to add the xml writer's name.

Those squares look much better there. Although they could probably be moved a few pixels to the left. Just so they are better centered to the stuff above them ;)

i don't even think sully started the xml so he needs to do that, then the xml needs to be checked then the map approved, files sent and uploaded.
i think we're talking about a minimum of 1 month.
