Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
I'm really sorry for bringing this post back up again, I see it hasn't been posted on since almost a year ago, but I can't figure out how to do the text without it freaking out. I know that somebody said to turn anti-alias off, but I don't know how to do that. Somebody please help?

I would need to know what you mean by "freaking out". Can you post a picture illustrating your problem?

Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
Actually, it's a little hard to tell with a screenshot, but I noticed something after testing it out for a while. I did what you said, set the font to Verdana, size 8, but after I finished typing something in, it got these weird red and blue colors on the sides of the letters, (almost like a 3D glasses type of thing) but I noticed that the bigger the text is, the harder it is to notice. (It's still there but really small) Only problem is, the smaller the text the more noticeable it is, and 8 is pretty small. I suppose I could edit the text after making it, but I'm afraid I might alter it too much, I tried editing some text already and it's really a pain to get it right. But I suppose it's all I can do, it's not extremely noticeable anyway, I can probably work around it.Danielinhoni wrote:I would need to know what you mean by "freaking out".

Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
That's Anti-Aliasing. Idk how to do it in MS Paint, but I always do the text part in Paint.net anyway because I have a plugin to outline for me. Anti-Aliasing (or AA for short) also makes it so the text isn't a solid color, but many so it looks realistic (for lack of a better word) from far away. Outlining AA text won't look as good.Leviathan254 wrote:Actually, it's a little hard to tell with a screenshot, but I noticed something after testing it out for a while.

OMG Thanks so much, I made a way better version of my crime scene with this, but how do I import it into the trial?

Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
Glad it was helpful! To use it in your trials, simply upload it to a site which allows the use of hotlinking (using a direct link from their servers), such as Photobucket, Dropbox, Imageshack, etc... I personally recommend Photobucket, but the choice is up to you.
Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
Imgur and imgbox are a couple of options as well, and near as I can tell, they don't have the bandwidth limit like photobucket and Dropbox.

Re: Tutorial: How to make a map with "MS Paint"
How exactly would I make the letters properly? How would I add the extra squares for the walls and stuff?
