Leif's 'The Hall of the Rainbow Mage' [A] (D&D 3.5 OOC)

[Rhun]

Sounds pretty cool.

 

[Leif]

That's the one I was thinking of, Jemal! Only I wasn't aware of the benign version. I just thought the baleful one was awfully cool.

 

[Rhun]

Definitely not a bad spell to have, especially if you plan on getting into lots of trouble.

 

[Theroc]

I don't have excel on this PC Leif, so try not to get too confused if I've no clue what is where.

Sounds like YOU'RE the one who should try not to get confused! I don't know of another program to use as a mapping aid, offhand, but if I figure something out, I'll re-post the map in a format that you can hopefully access. Or if anyone else beats me to it and can post up a conversion, that'd be great, too. I guess maybe the .xcl spreadsheet could be saved as a .jpg image or something? Help, anyone?

 

[Rhun]

A lot of DMs around here (including me) use Excel for our maps. With that said, Leif, you could do an Alt-Printscreen to copy the image into something like MS Paint, and then save it as a bitmap of .jpg. It is an extra step, but it would allow Theroc to view it.

 

[Rhun]

Or Theroc, I believe you can download a copy of OpenOffice for free. I don't have much experience with it, but I believe OpenOffice Calc (their spreadsheet program) CAN open Excel documents.

Thanks, man! That's just the sort of help I was looking for. So, let me see if I understand this:
1. Open the Excel file
2. Hit [alt][prntscrn]
[Presumption] 3. Choose copy file from a menu that appears somewhere and select .bmp or .jpg as file type to be saved?
4. Upload .bmp or .jpg to ENWorld in same post with .xcl file.

Actually...

1. Open the Excel file
2. Hit [alt][prntscrn]
3. Open MS-Paint or similar program
4. Paste image into program
5. Save file as .bmp or .jpg
6. Upload .bmp or .jpg to EnWorld in same post with .xcl file

 

[Theroc]

Are we waiting for Leif, or are we waiting for a player to post?

Just wondering...
