Hey guys, I made a map marker pack for all you Forgers out there. Updated download links 4Shared Link Mediafire Link I explain what a map marker pack is and how to use it in this video. Note: My mic was having problems when I recorded the video. As a result, the audio is quite weak. If you guys find the video and the Map Marker Pack helpful, could you subscribe to my YouTube channel? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! ZannyVids - YouTube If you don't want to watch the video, then I'll explain it here as well. I'm going to start off by making you take a look at two screenshots. This one and this one Now, which screenshot tells you more about the map? I don't know about you, but for me, it's the second one. All because spawns, flags, and weapons have been marked instead of a plain overview shot. That's basically what this Map Marker Pack is. It's a collection of PNG images that you can edit into your map's overview screenshot. V5 UPDATE Hey guys. Update time! This is the fifth version of my Map Marker Pack. What's new? - A new style for all weapons and vehicles. - More teleporters. Now with color! This is for maps with more than one pair of teleporters. - A new style for the armor abilities. PICTURES Spoiler That's pretty much it. If you have any suggestions/complaints about the Map Marker Pack, let me know.
Dude. This is so helpful. I tried looking for gametype and weapon thumbnails but I gave up because they were all different sizes with different backgrounds. Thanks a lot for making this thread and letting people download your pictures.
If my computer hadnt melted I would have loved this. It definitely will be a help to some people though, so good on you.
Someone requested that I should add pictures for initial spawn markers. Is this really necessary? Or even useful?
I don't think that it is necessary except maybe (for flood) human initial spawns and flood initial spawns. I don't have acess to a computer but i can see this helping a lot of forgers. Also, do you have a dominion terminal(capture point) image?
mhm, it would be great to have the powerups included. Otherwise, this looks great. Thank you for your service, Zan!
Don't forget speed boost. Also, I'm noticing you have a light blue and a white set of icons. That's great, but many of the weapons don't contrast with anything but solid colors well. Any chance we can get weapon silhouettes to accompany the in-game models? What you have here is great, and I love the idea of this. It could really help make the map section much prettier.
Damn. Forgot about speedboost. I'll work on that too then. Also, what do you mean by "weapon silhouettes"?
The weapons are detailed (as are the vehicles now that I think of it) and on certain backgrounds the contrast might not look very good.
Good update. However, the Blue Team Spawn text seems to get lost in this image on the grey. I'd suggest a lighter blue, the contrast just is not there. I feel that the Red Team Spawn equivalent has the same issue. My last comment has to do with the shadows on the mantis and warthog in pack2. They look sloppily painted on and inconsistent with the shadowless other vehicles. I'd suggest removing these shadows. Still, a great improvement. Looking forward to v3 and the power-ups!
'Weapon pack 3' and 'vehicle pack 3' are a lot better in terms of how much of the map they cover up. The others needed borders so you could see them well that took up a lot more. The yellow outline of these ones looks great. Good job.
I love The V2! Its absolutley great! Iv'e been gavibg si many issues making Good map posts but this is a life saver
Idk if i'd utilize this but markers for Objective play like Dominion and Extraction would be cool if pissible
I'd like to see a pack of everything else, in the style of 'weapon pack 3' and 'vehicle pack 3'. I'd love to use one design for everything I need.
As much as I like the update in v4, the visuals just don't flow well in my opinion. Place any of the weapons (From any weapon pack) along side the AA or teleporter icons. They dont have any consistency. Its why I choose not to use the great weapon pack 2 with powerup pack 2 as well. These icons dont have a lot of similarity. From what I'm seeing, as nice as these new icons are (and as needed as they are), they don't fit into any weapon pack very well, and thus will make the combined group rather cluttered rather than clean and clear. Just my thoughts on the matter.
