Thread: [Award Winner] Using GIMP to Create an Artistic Regional RPG Map

  1. #631

    Default

    Huge kudos to Rob for this tutorial! I am having an issue on Post 3/4 that I haven't found elsewhere in this thread. When I create the clouds layer and set it to overlay mode, it doesn't affect my image at all, even though it is placed above my base outline layer. Does anyone know why this might be? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Please ignore, I figured it out. The prevalence of the clouds depends on the amount you blur your base layer by (I have a huge image).

    Default Im being a noob

    I am up to the sea shape part and when i blur it the image goes red and blue.
    I have no idea what im doing wrong.
    Please help im also using the latest version of gimp, might be why idk.

    Hi SerKharl did you notice the date on the first post ?
    2007
    this is for a 9 year old version of "the Gimp"
    it is almost 2 generations of software out of date

    and was for Gimp 2.4
    in 2.6 a FULL rewrite was started
    and mostly complete in the current Gimp 2.8.18

    settings WILL be different
    and some tools are IN DIFFERENT places or have been removed or changed

    one of THE BIG , VERY BIG changes in is saving images
    if you click "save" it auto saves as a xcf format
    you need to EXPORT the image to save in other formats

    other changes are in the menu
    the menu for 2.8 is NOT the same as it was in 2.4

    Oh yes, I noticed that there were different versions, believe me. I did manage to track down all the tools mentioned, but the results didn't match, which I assume isn't very surprising considering your words.

    Oh well, if nothing else, I've just found another way not to do something, just gotta keep banging my head into the program until I can force it to submit.

    Cheers!

    PS: I didn't really get anything to try to save, but no matter. I'll keep trying until I can make something that doesn't turn into a smudge

    In regards to the age of this original post i'm happy to say that i still found it to be a very useful tutorial even if it wasn't the map style i was looking for.

    thank you RobA for the inspiration and information.

    I love this tutorial. I was so excited by what I saw, I only saved page 1 (oops!) Now I have the whole tutorial and can hardly wait to start practicing it. Thanks to Rob A for figuring this out and sharing it w/ the rest of us.

    Also attached is a zip of the final xcf file (it just fits under the limit) in case anyone wants to dissect this thing to get a better understanding on any of the steps or layers.

    And now that this is over, I can get back to some other things on the back burner

    Cheers!
