BlameThePixel!

Hi everyone! Just wondering how to make my maps a little flashier and more professional looking. I've got BITmonkey, and I use MS Paint for everything, but I can't figure out how people are making neat designs and stuff in their maps. I heard somewhere that certain colors make certain textures, but I see people with very small brick wall details, plus various designs that follow along the borders.

If someone could help me learn how to make my maps a little nicer, that would be great! Thanks!

Try experimenting with different pixel patterns. Single pixel vertical lines get interesting textures and colours. Horizontal lines just appear gray.


Also, here's something I posted a while back about making photos look ok on BIT terrains:

The trick is to delete every second line of (horizontal) pixels from the source image. Make sure you use Hospital or Manhattan terrain. Play around with the brightness and contrast until it looks alright in the game.

Thanks, Bloopy. I still would like to know how the heck people make their maps so nice looking, but I did figure out how to at least make mine look better.

All others reading this post, please tell me something about making maps that might help my detail, and please rate and review my maps.
