How to make a map file
Download Risk 1.0.9.3 or higher, Start the SwingGUI, and go to the Map Editor Tab.
You will need a Image that has a resolution of: 677x425 to be the image that the player can see.
You can open some other maps to get a idea of what things will look like when ur finished
Here is a step by step guide:
- Click on "New Map"
- Click "Load Image Pic" and select your image.
- Add all the continents and then add all the countries (do this by clicking the "Add" button on the Map editor views window)
- Move all the countries to where they are located on the image (use the move tool and simply drag them)
- Use the join tool to join 2 countries together, do this for all neighbouring countries (to select none use right click).
- Now move the "Image Map Fade" to the middle. and also move the "Draw Brush Size" to say 20
- Go though the list of countries and draw onto the image using the draw tool where that countries area is.
- YOUR DONE! Save the map and send it to me, if you have done something wrong it will tell you.
SEND ME ANY MAPS YOU MAKE AND I WILL PUT THEM ON THE WEBSITE
