(I thought blowaway was cool too)

Thanks man - we had great fun working on it!

[fluffybunnykins]

off topic, i know, but how did you make the round screen? was it a projection?

[MrConfigT]

I can't get to the tool anymore...

looks like the domain might have expired?

If you need me to host it I can

¡yo tam poco!
¿por qué en español? no tengo ningún idea...

[kevinc]

MrConfigT, I was just switching hosts and stuff. It's back up now.

fluffybunnykins, yea, it was a rear projection system with 2 mirrors. Quite a pain to work out all the angles. You can see the setup here: http://www.blowaway.org/project/table/

Very cool, but it would be even better for general users if we could hit your page and select the production map from a drop down instead of having to type or paste file names.

I'd like to echo Fantius' suggestion. That would be a great upgrade to this. In addition, when I use the World 2.0 map, it cuts off the right side.

Is there any way to get this functionality in the game itself?

[ericisshort]

I think it might make the map in the game a little busy... but when you click on the small icon of the map, this handy dandy doodad should pop up instead of the current icon.

Seems to have a bug in it for larger maps, like arctic and world2.0

how do I find the xmal file for a certain map that I want to check the paths for?

Excellent Tool. Thank you for this! AWESOME!

KevinC...your tool cuts the bottom of my map short...is this because your tool is designed for specific size...my map is 789 px high?

How do I upload my XML to somewhere so that I can check it against a map image?

Test the coordinates by putting in the image url and selecting the xml from a location on your computer/network.

Or if you need the xml online, just use some free file hosting site.

Oh the XML works in there - I wanted to see if my borders were correct really... will find a file hosting site...

EDIT: Done and tested - perfect.
