This directory contains the resources needed to edit the Wesnoth main
|
|
map and variants thereof with the GIMP.
|
|
|
|
The most important file is great-continent.xcf. This started out as a
|
|
straight conversion of mapmaker Kestenvarn's Photoshop file for the
|
|
main map as it existed on 9 Oct 2008 (still here as bfw-htt-gimp.psd).
|
|
XCF is the layered format the GIMP uses for storing images.
|
|
|
|
The layers contain lots of hidden treasure, including isolated copies
|
|
of all the various icons and cartouches and things used to compose the
|
|
main map. To edit, hack a layer (you probably should not touch any of
|
|
the base maps). When adding new features, put them in new layers.
|
|
Layers are cheap.
|
|
|
|
The font used for the legends (mostly at 13-point size) is Monotype
|
|
Corsiva. We cannot distribute it because it is issued under a
|
|
proprietary license, but copies are not hard to find on the Web. To
|
|
fully enable that font in GIMP, copy the downloaded file to your GIMP
|
|
fonts directory; this will be something like ~/.gimp-M.N/fonts/, where
|
|
M.N is your GIMP version.
|
|
|
|
To generate maps, simply enable the layers you want and save with the
|
|
appropriate file extension. GIMP will tell you it has to flatten
|
|
the layer stack; that's OK.
|
|
|

Here's a link to Kestenvarn's tutorial on mapmaking and the associated
|
