Made a map for Dire Hollow:Grim Tidings

[metavirus]

I made my first map skeleton (see attached) for the new zone "Dire Hollow:Grim Tidings". Now that I have this, how do I make it into an actual map?

Here's a zip of the resources i used (logfile, svg file)

Yeah, i wasn't sure how to make it any bigger. I just used the default technique with the mapper.xml.

1. Extract it as a larger png
2. Open my map template from the utilities section
3. Paste the png into it, center it, make it pretty
4. post the final result as a dds dxt1 1bit alpha
5. find the zonerect with my script in the utilities section
6. post the zonerect, we will fine tune it



how to do 1.
in inkscape:
1. file-export bitmap...
2. select drawing at the top in the new window
3. where it says bitmap size: change the width to something bigger than 436 (map parchment size) so you can shrink it. Shrinking retains more detail than enlarging one you are in Adobe Photoshop.

Ok, here we go. Let me know what else I should do.
