#was trying to make a full map of fortuna but without all the labels + savior #because the map on the wiki has these and it's not useful for what i need #i was trying to add the castle + the forest + order hq back in with.. powerpoint.. 😔 #because to this day powerpoint Remains my go-to collage making program + this is essentially a kind of collage #anyways! i was trying to add those back in by just copying those specific pieces over from the DDS file and making black the transparent #color.. however </3 it wasn't working super great because the textures weren't upscaling nicely obvi And Also.. the black pixels that #weren't the Exact Shade of Black i'd made transparent were still hanging around + especially for things like the forest i. could not make it #look nice lol ;w; so then i was chopping up pieces of the map from the dmc wiki and trying to make it fit like a puzzle #but for the forest it was truly impossible to make look nice #so for a few minutes i despaired on what to do until FINALLY i remembered!! you can convert DDS files to PNG files! so i did that and then #opened the map pieces up in gimp + copied them back to powerpoint and finally they were super clean <3 #i had to fiddle around with the scaling of the pieces so they were the same size as the actual map pieces in the game and tbh it's not 100% #accurate but! it's good enough for me :] #so now i have a barebones map of fortuna for geographical reference + a slightly Less barebones map of fortuna for.. also geographical #reference XD the benefit of having both is that things like the order hq obstruct the coastline.. having the original w.o that map piece #allows me to see it :D #dmc4 necromancy #sriracha.txt
