Gonna discuss some stuff related to map views here.
Crispness
Two tools are commonly used to create map images for this wiki: Omgifol and SLADE 3. The former exists in three versions. These test images illustrate the differences:
omgifol images are generated via the command-line:
# image 1 & 2: python omg/demo/drawmaps.py doom2.wad MAP01 999 PNG # image 3: python omg/demo/drawmaps.py doom2.wad MAP01 1079
Slade3 images are generated via the following GUI steps:
- Open dialog tab Edit -> Preferences -> Interface -> Colours & Theme
- In section "Map Image Export", set Background 'White' (default) & Opacity 255 (non-transparent)
- Switch to dialog tab Advanced
- Find the map_image_* entries, and set _thickness to 3
- For the test image, set _height to 1079 and _width to 999
- Load doom2.wad
- From the WAD directory, preview MAP01
- Use the Save Map Image button, to the left just above the preview, and Save
