From DoomWiki.org Warning: You are not logged in. Your IP address will be recorded in this page's edit history. Anti-spam check. Do not fill this in! == Even more spots! == General remark: this is fantastic and I can't argue with any of the reasoning. I agree it might be [[User talk:Xymph#Image size|distilled to a help page]], though that takes effort — we've [[How to download and run Doom|learned]] that help pages must be incredibly succinct and focused, or people stop reading. Regarding spots, since my name keeps getting dropped. :> E4M1 was actually done by someone else, which I'd completely forgotten along with its prefatory [[User talk:Ryan W/2011#Map images: how?|chat]]. That means at least five different methods have been used, and their colors vary also: * [[:File:E2M2 walkthrough.png|GIMP on Linux]] * [[:File:E4M2 heretic walkthrough.png|Unspecified (looks extremely similar)]] * [[:File:D64TC MAP01 map.png|Unspecified (but clearly different)]] * [[:File:Doom64 MAP01 walkthrough.png|Not certain; likely Windows XP with chintzy shareware clone of Photoshop]] * [[:File:E4M1_walkthrough.png|Unspecified]] * [[:File:1squares MAP01 dots.png|GIMP on Mac OS]] Given the level of detail you're going into... is this important? It seems quite difficult to enforce a uniform style: unlike [[Doom Wiki:Central Processing#Standard map sections?|text markup]], we can't assume the same tools are available to all editors. (Unless someone writes a new utility, and I'd also like my own tropical island and a pet unicorn.) [[User:Ryan W|Ryan W]] ([[User talk:Ryan W|talk]]) 00:03, 5 May 2016 (CDT) : Thanks for your kind feedback. I know I keep saying this or that should be in the Help/Guidelines section, but yeah, it all takes time and thought. And it seems that the admins & editors most active here, are also spread the most thin (hi Quasar :>). : Regarding how spots are done, thanks for addressing my question before I even got around to raising it. ;) I toyed around with Gimp (and an ancient version of PSP) a bit already, and realized that applying marked spots to maps is a task more monumental than most on this wiki. Some degree of automation would help to make it more manageable, so Gimp scripting might be a viable approach, but one I have zero experience with. And I already have enough on my plate, so I'll focus on areas with more immediate results. --[[User:Xymph|Xymph]] ([[User talk:Xymph|talk]]) 03:41, 5 May 2016 (CDT) Summary: All contributions to DoomWiki.org are considered to be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0 International (see Doom Wiki:Copyrights for details).
