what do i have to do to get oaktown in here?

i used to use bananas for andy but since the new mods are here i have no idea what bait to use

We should eventually have 3D maps, that can rotate and everything. That would be awesome.

i truly hope we will someday get full 3d maps.

Have you ever played the game "Hungry Hippos"?

If so - then you'll know that you need small white plastic spheres!!!!

thanks for the tip yeti.



*leaves a trail of plastic spheres*

*adds a few marbles to be sure*

Dim, just thought i'd give you some feedback....i like the idea although a little abstract and one has to read the story from P1, but i'm not yet sold on the blue background for a blueprint....to me it looks awkward if i am to be honest with you.

i'm not sure what's wrong with the blue background. i mean it's a blueprint not a purpleprint or a whiteprint.

indeed the shade is lighter than a normal blueprint would be but that's for readability purposes. if you look on page 1 you'll see it used to be darker but the army numbers would be hard to see.

also if you notice i have tried my best to replicate the feeling of an actual blueprint by making 2 horizontal folds and adding shades to make it quasi 3d, and i also added a crease in the top right corner as well as a coffee mug stain.
furthermore if you look at the text as well as the white thin lines you'll notice they are scratched like a sharp stylus was used.

as for the story on page 1, yes it would be nice to have it on the map but size restrictions are a bitch. hopefully the story for this map as well as all other maps that have one will be presented on the info pages lack will include in the near future.

This is one of the the types of texture i was thinking of for a blue print, the other was a plain white background, that is what i am used to seeing to for a blue print.

odd. when i google blueprint images most of them are like this:



or


even on wikipedia the blueprint is blue

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueprint


and a few lines of text from wikipedia:

The term "blueprint" was originally derived from the visual aspects of prints made using the contact printing process of cyanotype. It is cyanotype which produces the white lines on blue background which are characteristic of the traditional blueprint.

As correct as you may be with you research, i am not convinced by your version.

then tell me what needs to be done to make the blue print more realistic.

as i said above i've added a few things to make it as real as possible:

creases and folds
shadows and gradients
scratched lines and text
coffee mug stain
oh and the scotchtaped paper note

tell me what else needs to be done and i'll try and do it.

To weigh in here - most "building plans" are on a pale colour with a bluey ink...

More like Cairns image...

you're on to something yeti but what you have there is not a blueprint. it is in fact a whiteprint

and i'm not trying to do a whiteprint, i'm trying to do a blueprint.

like so:



edit// one more thing you say most buildings are whiteprints. well it all depends on the placement in time. blueprints are older, whiteprints are modern. as i said i'm not doing a modern whiteprint, i'm doing an old blueprint.

edit 2// notice the white scratchy lines in the image above? they are present on my map too

[yeti_c]

Indeed - and a blue print is a negative of the "white" print is it not?

With the white print being the one used in real terms - and the blue print being the archive from which to create multiple white prints?

Either way though - it's your choice...
