Mapping Tips/Guides / 3 Requests
« on: July 08, 2009, 01:10:55 pm »
I have several DOS games in mind that I'd like to make maps for. But I'd like to do this in an automated way.
First task is taking screen shots. I use Gadwin Printscreen to save a file but I'd have keep hitting printscreen, then move, then hit printscreen some more. Is there a program that will continually take screenshots, say once a second?
Next is masking. For one game I can access the editor mode and look over the whole area but after I get the screenshots I'd want to remove the interface from the bottom portion. That's a tedious task. Is there a program that will apply a given mask to all the files in a folder?
Finally I've seen mentioned in a few topics a program for stitching screenshots together. Could someone explain how to use it?
