Creating
A New Map
To Create a new map, press the
New Map icon or select File and then New from the
Main Menu.
-
You can adjust the width and height individually with the
spinners or by typing in the values. Annihilator 1.0 will automatically
calculate the correct size of the map in "screens" for you. Press OK to
create the map at the desired size.
-
Annihilator 1.0 will allow you to generate a map by importing
a bitmap. Select the tab marked 'bitmap' and you may either browse for
the bitmap or type in the path.
-
Height Maps must be in 256 color greyscale or greenscale
format. In order for the heights to line up correctly, the size of the
heigt map should be 1/16 that of the main bitmap.
-
NOTE: When importing bitmaps, the bitmap must be
reduced to the TA color palette. There are two palette files included
with Annihilator 1.0, one for Photoshop and another for Paint Shop Pro.
