Mapmaking "FACTS"

[RascaL]

Does anyone know how to use the program "facts"

For an example of what this program does, ?go deathdm by dark_grim.

This program does a lot of things, what in particular are you referring to?

[Tibro]

in short.. the program can turn a .bmp image into a map.

it uses different colours for different tiles.

so if you wanted to make a map with the base a shape of a person.. you can draw the person in ms paint or whatever you want to use.. then turn it into a map using facts

check ?go paladen i made about 90% of that map using facts

facts doesnt seem to have a help guide or anything.. so its basically just play around with it.

That feature uses palette indexes to determine which tile to place on the map. The best way to figure it out is to convert a map and go into photoshop while looking at the tileset to figure out which index is what. It's also somewhat color-coded.

I'm sitting here wondering.. What the hell was the purpose of this thread anyway?

I worked out how to use it, eventually. Pretty useful tool.
