Previewing a map in the game setup screen.

**Mythos_Ruler** · July 18, 2012

These maps throw errors that files can’t be found (celtic war dogs, easy to reproduce):
Arcadia II
Gallic Fields
The Massacre of Delphi

Yeah, I can fix those.

file names aren’t optimal:
you use roman numbers in filenames(not always), but arabic(12345…, not always) in the descriptions, should be swapped

Problem is, the in-game list will not properly identify the roman numerals as, well, numerals. Best to just use Arabic numbers for now.

I think it would be better to name demo maps with "demo_"-prefix and sandbox maps with "sandbox_" prefix (so they stick together)

Agreed.

Wouldn't it be easier to store them in subfolders?

I'd prefer closer screenshots for scenarios, selected to show close details of each map. In other words not rushed through in a huge batch or by some automated process

it’s a matter of taste, but I’ll try some shots

the batch process involved was: cropping, scaling, filling up to a 4:3 res, scaling down and saving.

even for manually taken closeups some of those steps are neccessary, I don’t want to do that for every pic by hand

Are those good? http://luziferius.lu.funpic.de/0ad/Scenarios_cinematic/

Wouldn't it be easier to store them in subfolders?

when it does not need programming, yes

otherwise renaming is easier

I suggest to take shots from the regular player's POV and not from other angles.

**Pureon** · July 18, 2012

I believe we agreed earlier that Mythos would be creating preview images for the scenarios that he created? :unsure:

Ow, my brain. That emoticon really fits

There are still errors on some systems with the current preview textures: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16309

Edit: confirmed I get debug warnings too, with a debug build:

@Mythos

Could you do the map previews without the 'borders' ? I think it would look better without those lines round the CC's.

**Mythos_Ruler** · July 29, 2012

I've been looking at it, and I think it would make more sense to put the drop downs below the preview image, wedged between it and the map description field. Anyone?

It is something I feel is unnatural in the current interface; having to look at the left to adjust the choice, and seeing the resulting change on the right (with a larger monitor this distance effect gets worse). So, yes, I would agree to put the drop down where the action is There appears to be plenty of space since most map descriptions are quite short.

This would make the central area more empty which is not good for now. But we are going to add more options so don't worry.

There are still errors on some systems with the current preview textures: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16309

This needs to be fixed before release. What solution are we going with to resize the preview images to 512x512?

**Spahbod** · August 9, 2012

I'm going to make new previews for random maps if necessary. But we should consider some automatic way.

Zeta1127 · August 9, 2012

The slider for the map description list box should start at the top of the description by default, if it doesn't already. Due to the expanded area for map descriptions, no map description in Alpha 10 is long enough to test whether they do default to the top of the list box.

Some fixed previews.

My internet connection isn't very stable these days and it hurts SVN commit the most. Can someone else commit these?

We really need an automated way to stretch these previews. What was the way people suggested earlier?

**historic_bruno** · August 9, 2012

Personally I think the easiest solution is to stretch the existing images from 400x300 up to 512x512, if we can live with the loss of quality. This is easy to automate in almost any decent image editor. Otherwise we can make all new images, or we can add padding to existing images up to 512x512 and use the GUI engine to crop them back to 400x300 (I've never actually tested that this works but others seem to think it would), or we could live with seeing the padding but it won't look good on all preview images.

**MishFTW** · August 10, 2012

Is this too late? Yes it is... but here I go anyway. My inspiration mainly came from studying some UI stuff, specifically the Google Chrome Web Store and Windows 8 "Metro". Sorry it was a better but then I undid some and saved accidentally.

The way its implemented is that its a square image (power of 2, say 256x256) but it has a clip over it limiting it to 256x128. Either have the name above the image, or below it, or display it when the user hovers over the map. (If the hover is done, then add a 50% alpha black mask over it and the text would be white.)

If only the game's GUI was like CSS.... wait it is! I'll take a look through the GUI code and see if I could tinker with it.

Alternately, the entire sidebar could be removed (on smaller screens).

**Spahbod** · August 10, 2012

@Geek: tried to make something similar to your concept. The problem is that it needs very high screen sizes to show the things properly. In 1024x768 it is almost impossible to make a good screen.

**quantumstate** · August 14, 2012

I changed the images to be 512x512 with the map preview being 400x300 in the top left corner of the image. Please use this for all new map previews to avoid cropping/stretching.
