Following this thread which reminded me of my ancient(7 years old) mapping program I started thinking of creating a new version.
What I had in mind was the following:
A battlemap creator, you select the size of the map in pages (1 page, 2x2...) and are presented with a grid to paint on.
- You can fill in the squares with textures (stone,wood,grass...)
- You can paint geometrical shapes on the map (rooms etc.)
- You can put as many custom images as you want on it (scaled and rotated), the images should support png,jpg,gif,bmp so you can use images from other programs
- The program should be able to save/load maps, print maps to multiple pages, export to an image
- The program should have good management of the custom icons/images you use so its easy to find what you want and add it
- The program should be FAST and STABLE, my main goal is for it to be very easy to use and very fast. You won't be able to make dundjinni/CC3 quality maps with it.
So my question(s) is
Do you think there's a need for such a utility? are there any important features you think I forgot? any other comments?
