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

  1. #451

    Default



    I got to part 7 where this wonderful guide said, "Now we will turn the B/W into colour, by clicking Color->Map->Gradient Map, and the water is almost (for now)." When I did this, my image turned all flat blue, nothing like the screen capture. Does anyone know where I went wrong? GIMP 2.6 wishing it was 2.4...

    Thanks.

    You probably had your foreground and background colours both blue (so the gradient was blue-blue).

    Just (sort of) finished this, it really was a cracking tutorial.

    I used your "Simple Mountains in GIMP" tutorial for the mountains, didn't quite get the hang of the snow caps and my forests need work, but i'm reasonably pleased with the results, if I had thought more at the time I would have used softer colours on the labels. but it's a start.

    Thanks, and nicely done!

    You would need to send this to the GIMP forums. I would HIGHLY expect that the issue is around your internationalization based on the screenshot you provide. If you have any way to change your OS's language to English, just try a quick test to verify. Out of curiosity, what language is that?

    I'm sooo gonna put one of my maps I made in paint through this tutorial xD It looks promising.
    (plus the fact that this is page 46 kinda shows how good this tutorial must be .... unless every page is filled with complaints... erm)

    This'll be fun.

    and 80,749 page views it is a granddaddy of tutorials here, and, unfortunately, like all granddaddies is getting a bit long in the tooth. When gimp 2.8 comes out I think it will be due for a refresh... Maybe a video series...

    I'll be watching for that. This is a great tutorial, though I have never actually made it through the whole thing.
