Thanks for the good work Comrade.

Enigma_Nova · December 24, 2003, 00:35

ARGH!!!
I've done the peace map but I can't upload it!
>_<

Curse you Apolyton! Let me attach some images!
...And before you tell me to click the upload button I've already tried that.

Enigma_Nova · December 24, 2003, 01:49

bump urgent - how to attach peace map?
Apolyton won't let me upload!

Nubclear · December 24, 2003, 02:00

Come onto msn, add DANIELJACKSON5000SPAM@SPAMhotmail.com and send it to me.

Googlie · December 24, 2003, 02:01

e-mail it to me (googlie@canada.com) and I'll either upload it at 'Poly or at one of my sites with a link to it

edit: cross-posted with Tass

From compiling the university map I know that gif handles white space far better than jpeg (compresses better) and you don't get that fuzziness on the lines.

So my suggestion is always use gif when working with anything that uses alot of white or black space, or doesn't use many colors

Enigma_Nova · December 24, 2003, 10:01

Would do that if I could somehow get the palette from SMAC into the Gif (but I think Gif has a set palette).

Enigma_Nova · December 24, 2003, 10:05

Scratch that; My i.Mage program handles .gif conversion just fine!

Problem is the Gif is twice the size of that Jpeg! :/

Snowflake · December 24, 2003, 11:24

Great work!

Very impressive.

Googlie · December 24, 2003, 11:49

Of course you could just ask the CyCon for the full map now

I saved a screenshot as a gif.
151k
I resaved it as a jpeg.
181k
I resaved back into gif format.
392k

The reason why is it doubled in size is because when you save as a jpeg lots of blurring occurs which increases the numbers of colors used and makes coloring more varied. So when you resave as gif it saves all that blurriness that the jpeg format inserted and hence takes more space.

Comrade Micha are you planning to cover the covert report for this turn?

Snowflake · February 5, 2004, 01:03

I had a couple minutes tonight and thought that I could do a few screenshots. So I reinstalled my Photoshop 4.1. But I realized I didn't know the right way to do screenshots. Comrade Micha, you had done a good job for PEACE infiltration before, would you care to teach me how to do it properly?

Micha · February 5, 2004, 19:57

Lol, but I only used MS Paint...

1.) PrintScreen -> screenshot
2.) Paste into Paint, cut off those parts you don´t need.
3.) Repeat with all screens you want
4.) Open a new file, copy paste all the partial info into one big pic, there you go

I´d do it again, but right now I have my midterm exams. Wrote a micro-economics test today, and will have 10 (!!!) more till April...

Snowflake · February 6, 2004, 12:06

10 tests!!!

Till April!!!!

How can they do that to us!!!

My Paint crashes whenever I finish copy and paste screenshots twice. Then I'd have to close the game, restart paint, and restart the game, and do two more screenshots.

I really think I'm not born to do this ...

Micha · February 20, 2004, 07:29

Did the covert operations report for UNI 2156. Please tell me what to do about CyCon (either 2155 or none at all) and whether you want me to post a big picture as well (but remember I only have MSPaint, so the quality would be poor)

Very nice work.

I continue to be amazed at just how weak they are right now.

The time is ripe for the attack.

Micha · February 20, 2004, 18:36

Next year they get air power, and I´d say they will start building needles by then. Although right now they don´t seem capable of building more than three units per turn, and they won´t waste that rare production capacity to build offense while they cannot defend themselves.

If we could take out four or five of their most productive bases at once (which shouldn´t be too much of a problem), they will never recover from that blast.

Just look at the base garrisons. Most are only protected by a single probe team, that´s it. One base is even completely empty. There´s no base with more than one defender, we just have to watch out for the battle ogre. Maybe we need to sacrifice some units to slay it...

Frankychan · February 20, 2004, 19:22

How the heck did they conquer PEACE so fast? Most of their force is probe teams? I just cant comprehend how they almost flattened PEACE in such a short amount of time.....

Oh, thanks Comrade for posting the data!

Micha · February 20, 2004, 19:36

This is data about the UNI, not the CyCon. The Uni didn´t fight peace at all.

Frankychan · February 20, 2004, 20:04

Blargh!!!!

Sorry, I got them mixed up!

Shame on you, Frankychan.

Although we will have to ensure we don't leave bases or units close enough to be probed by them, these Uni probes should prove useful to us. Destroying them should allow us to increase the morale level of our air units easily.
