Ladies and gentlemen, for your dining and dancing pleasure, it gives me great satisfaction to introduce Big Blue.



Developed by Team Banzai's own Freelancer, Big Blue is concievably one of the handiest tools ever produced for those who wish to use screenshot-'Mechs in their digital image editing.

'Card, you might want to mention it's a map. Also, I get an "Insert Disc 2" error when I try to use it. Do you have to manually move some files to get this to work?

Did you tell it to install it into the resoure/usermissions folder?

If you did, then I have no idea why you are getting that error. <_<

Nope, the files were sent there. It also sent some to the maps folder, I copied those over and I'll try it out later.

I like Pink Map Better.

How do I modify this map to allow teams?

No idea

*comming from the guy who made the damned thing*

This weekend I think I'll have some free time to look into it and see if I can figure it out


EDIT: WOW! I really can't remember how to do anything with the #$% mission editor anymore.... it's beyond me how to do it right now, and just isn't something that I have the time to figure out for quite a while

Just a thought......why must blue be the color? Why not......white.....?

The big blue app, do we use it like a stand alone app or do we need to use it as a plugin or an addon to an existing DI app?

Uhm... big blue is merely a custom map that you install into the maps folder of your mercs game so that you can take screenshots that are easy to seperate the background from the mech- hence giving you an isolated mech to use for your graphical enjoyment.

Sandy- it doesn't necessarily have to be blue, I believe there is a pink map as well. The reason you don't want to use white is (think about this with me for a minute) because you want a pretty high contrast between the edge of the background and the mech.... you don't want those pixels to be anywhere close to a shade on your mech, or when you magic wand the background you'll end up taking a fair chunk of the edges of the mech along with it. You could make a purple one if you want......

Come to think of it, blueness is quite fine!

There is also a black one that is exceedingly good for making animations.

hey guys, is there something special to get this map to work that u have to do? im getting disk2 error at mission launch as well.

in maps folder i have blue_map.dep(8k) and blue_map.mw4(440k)
in usermissions i have big blue.dep(13k), big blue.mw4(667k), big blue.nfm(1k), and big blue.tga(37k)

wanna try my hand at cutting out some mechs

thanks,

I dunno, DS. That's exactly where all of my files are.

k, finally got around to figuring it out, you have to put the files from the usermissions folder into the missions folder. then it works great.

Thanx a lot Diamond Soul !!

EDIT : Forget it ! I do not thank you !

I moved the BB files from the user mission folder to the mission folder, and I still get the "insert CD" message.

Raaa.
