Little help

[Sirath The Destroyer]

Is there any way to make a map with a special item?

[The Almighty Doer of Stuff]

If you mean making a Special Item cast Magic Map, no, although a regular item can. If you mean making a Special Item display a picture of a map, yes, but unfortunately it has to be reeaally small, or text-based. Classic BoE does not include the capability to display large images, unfortunately.

Thanks. But how do i make it? Could be really useful.

 

Thanks anyway for at least saying yes. =D

 

If you dont respond ill have to look though the guide. That could take hours D=

You call a One-Time Text Message node. It's the only one that lets you display a custom image in the corner. The map has to be very, very simple and stylized though, due to the very small size constraints. If you're doing text based, a simple Display Message node might be better, as it allows you to use line breaks by using the | character, which can be found on the same key as the backslash (on PCs at least, don't know about Mac).

 

Now that I think of it, One-Time Text Message might allow line breaks too. Test it and try it out, I guess.

How exactly do i make a picture on my computer to get it a map on BoE? (By special node)

[Celtic Minstrel]

ADoS, you neglected to tell him what these size constraints are. Would I be right in guessing that it has to be 32x32 pixels?

[Sirath The Destroyer]

Wait are you telling me that it would be a dialog!! >

[Lilith]

Yup. There ain't no way to display pictures of any decent size in BoE at the moment. Sorry!

 

This is probably a feature that should be added to OBoE at some point.

[Celtic Minstrel]

It will be – I intend to add the ability to display 72x72 pixel images in a regular dialog node, as well as adding a node that simply displays a larger image with a title. (The former would be implemented by arranging 4 successive dialog images in two rows.)

[The Almighty Doer of Stuff]

Yes, I neglected to mention the exact dimensions because I couldn't remember what they were. I was hoping "reeaally small" and "Classic BoE does not include the capability to display large images" and "very, very simple and stylized" would have gotten the point across. I also mentioned the wrong node, as I should have said "One-Time Display Dialogue" and not "One-Time Text Message". It's been a while since I looked at the editor.

[Celtic Minstrel]

Ah, so the dimensions are 36x36 pixels then.

Thanks Guys =D

 

Well im just going to continue working on my scenario now.
