Graphics Image Editor

Post by Trugrit »

I have been looking over a free graphics image editor called Gimp.

Gimp….GNU Image Manipulation Program.
https://www.gimp.org/

I tried it out and it works very well for the map graphics.
It can be complicated for the more advanced features.
Learning curve.

There are some good video tutorials about Gimp on YouTube.

Also….My sincere apologies to MakeeLearn, I started using it on one
of his map mods, just simple cut and paste, and got carried away.

So...I have the Bellum Pacifica V3 (Hex) ported to the new Beta as a composite.
Not all the map changes are included.

So…..if one of you has a file share site I will drop the mod in…. if you want to take a look.

If you try Gimp the game engine seems to not like the way it exports an image to a bmp file.
I get around this by opening the file in Microsoft Paint and then saving it down as a bmp.
