Re: TFT Map Maker
Hexographer allows overlays over maps. I think it's simply hexographer.com or org. I prefer to do it myself after making an image file of the map

Re: TFT Map Maker
Thanks, and you are correct. I originally made that change so that the first Material at the time (Stone) would render walls as black for folks doing traditional black-and-white maps. When I resequenced the Materials to put the new Black Material to the fore, I didn't restore the old Stone wall colour. I will get that back in.

Re: TFT Map Maker
New changes pushed out, the foremost of which is that the tool now has a name and a dedicated URL:
Shamat - http://shadekeep.com/shamat/shamat.html This is done partly to help keep it distinct from the rest of the site code, and partly to make it much easier to package for download. The downloadable version should be available soon. Other changes include:
Please report any bugs or suggestions for continued improvements. Last edited by Shadekeep; 09-21-2018 at 01:48 PM. Reason: zoom! |

Re: TFT Map Maker
One other functional request - the ability to rotate the hex orientation 90 degrees. Or having a second map with that orientation in place to start with. e.g. having the hex point be vertical.

Re: TFT Map Maker
Another major update of Shamat ( http://shadekeep.com/shamat/shamat.html ), here is the changelog.
To get a quick idea of what is possible, I've converted the Duchy of Dran map, which you can download here and open up in the app: http://shadekeep.com/files/DuchyOfDran.skmr Right-click that link and choose Save As, then save the .skmr file locally. Open it up in the Shamat web app. The map is turned on its side, as the "grain" of the hex grid is different than that of the the original map. If I can easily make the grain rotatable, I will add that feature too. I suspect it's non-trivial, however. Please post any issues, suggestions, or other feedback. This is version 0.9, and I hope to lock any changes down for the 1.0 release. That release will include the downloadable stand-alone offline version of the app. |

Re: TFT Map Maker
Very nice! You are really getting to a point of 'critical mass' on this thing's capabilities.

Re: TFT Map Maker
It might be a bit much for what you want to take on, but I think the best thing you could add would be a pallet of features appropriate to mapping at scales smaller than big regional areas. I.e., you have mountains, forests and cities, but the game presents 9 scales for maps, all but one of which are smaller than an individual mountain or city. It would be pretty cool if we could use this tool kit to create maps of small scale landscapes, large structures, neighborhoods etc.
