Map problems

Brought Forward: [quote=Hoodlum]i gave it a go. it was harder than i thought because the existing ones have shadows already. plus the sprite thing doesn't leave much space to add more pixel space for outer shadow. unless aero has the original circle layers, without shadows, it might be a painful task., but aero might know a better way. i started from scratch[/quote] [spoiler] [img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/1564wgk.jpg[/img] [spoiler=original] [img]https://dominating12.com/assets/img/territories/caps-large.png[/img][/spoiler] [/spoiler] I don't have the original Photoshop KIT for circles, so I too would have to remake them, but they look really good Hood.... the only problem is, they are a JPG and need to be a Transparent PNG. I don't think you need the bottom left "Neutral Attacking" image, that's why it was missing on the original sprite. Also, they will have to be spaced identically and all gap-pixels counted & stated, as well as the total size of each circle type including the shadow stated for the programmers to know the start point, parameters & coordinates.

tinypic site seems to convert everything to jpg, or gives it that extension, but i usually upload everything as png. it's transparent, so i dunno what it actually is, after the upload, lol. i tried to get the spacing all accurate using grids.

email it to me as a transparent PNG and I'll list the coordinates and upload it to my server.

If you have to make the circles larger, that is a possibility, but it would require some code changes to make sure everything is drawn in the right place, so I'd rather keep them the same size.

If you redid the inner circles as well, are they changed even a slight little bit? Because in that case, you should redo the one without capitals as well. We want them to be the same.

Testing current circles, please ignore this Spoiler.

Thanks for the email attachment Hood, I'll test the sizes tomorrow. We have to have 2 sets of circles at 2 sizes (Standard, Caps, Reduced Standard & Reduced Caps) and at a maximum total size of the current circles.

Hood has done a really good job of remaking them. They are 1 pixel bigger [img]https://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/Circles/sizes.jpg[/img] and the coloured circle & white circle are the same size... [b]can you work with changing the parameters and coordinates from the sprite?[/b] The reason I ask is, Hood has utilised every pixel internally and the extra pixel is the new outer shadow, if I remade them, I would have the same dilemma, which I will have when making the smaller ones.

I think we can change it, but we have to regenerate some of our code.

I have redone the circles, Standard & Small, incorporating the new extra colours. I fixed the double thick white circle on the first small green circle. The Standard Capital dimensions are now 36px X 36px. The Small Capital dimensions are now 32px X 32px. No Gaps and both sprite's circles start at x=0 y=0 [img]https://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/Circles/aero-caps-large.png[/img] [img]https://www.the-inkstore.co.uk/map_resources/Circles/aero-small-caps-complete.png[/img]

Ok so two things fixed.. another cap problem with 5 players [spoiler][IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/2kq3pk.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] During game play with a couple of games the cap in the very right has a huge dis-advantage and all the other caps can get bonus without getting blocked in but that one. The bottom left can get a bonus and has only two places that they have to defend and easy to keep. I think these needs to be changed.

[spoiler][img]http://oi66.tinypic.com/zjtg08.jpg[/img][/spoiler] all internal solution. disadvantaged one would be Pedernales, having 2 paths out, while the others have 3

a lot better! Nice Hoodlum.

I tried changing the 5p Cap positions to Hood's suggestion, but all the Cap's on this map are showing errors. I have changed the 5p Cap's to some different territories temporarily until the errors can be found and solved. There may be problems with Capitals games on a couple of maps, please be patient, the staff know and are trying to resolve them.

@Cireon I have redone the small Capital circles, I wasn't happy with the whiteness of the new colour's white circles. Refresh & re-save. I have also made the normal small circles with the new colours, so all sprites now have the complete range of colours. The [b]Normal Small & Large[/b] circle sprites images start at x=1 y=1 with gaps of 2px The [b]Capitals Small & Large[/b] circle sprites images start at x=0 y=0 with gaps of 0px The Normal Large dimensions are still 34px X 34px. The Normal Small dimensions are still 30px X 30px. The Capitals Large dimensions are now 36px X 36px. The Capitals Small dimensions are now 32px X 32px. See next post for all 4 up-to-date sprites.

I noticed that the original normal small circles had the Fog circle slightly offset to the left. This was actually the same size as the other small circles and so it lost some of it's shadow, therefore, I have repositioned it and added the missing shadow. Below are the 4 sprites complete and updated.
