GACK My hard drive is full whoe is me !!!

akanon filled over 8 Gigs so far !!!!

this is indeed going to be a big project im going to half to burn some stuff to cd's to clear some berth.

[DeletedUser]

Would make an interesting little website.. little.. wait I mean big.
It's going to be like a terabyte of pictures.

[Wumpas]

all of the akanon pics are captured now im converting croping

and th image conversion does all the croping

So far down to 136 mb now im gona wash it through the croping function

p.s. 500 mobs


EDIT
Akanon is finished croped and packed waiting for method to send it

23.3 Mb

Next of steamfont

Not bad, 23MB... Multiply that times 150 zones and it's a 3GB master file. I don't think we'll be hosting that anywhere at that size. It will probably have to be resized to fit into any help file, or should be offered as thumbnails...

[Wumpas]

Ill let omper worry about all that hehe Ill just send him the rw data

P.S. noticed a problem with your method when things like trees come along there to big for cammera to see if its zoomed in wnough to see the mobs. not sure what to do abotu this but its hapend a few tims in steamfont already

[a_Guest03]

We can retake pictures if they're not human :P

[omper]

I am considering thumbnailing them..

Omper

[omper]

also you will have to remember that most of these zones will have repeats..

so if those pics that wump has are dups of some i already have then those will be deleted.. and the image will have both zones attached.. or all zones..

so .. for instance.. no globals.. those are being taken out.. second if say race 100 tex 10 gen 1 is duped in 5 zones.. i would have only one pic and 5 zone assignments..

so i am not sure how big this will get.. but hell i would think under 200 meg total..

anyway.. i am searching for a way to reduce the sizes now..

PS.. I have a lead on a ftp site.. maybe a web page also.. soon..


Omper

[omper]

Hmm.. I guess if people wanted they could download selective Zones.. or if i knew VB a bit better it could be bilt in that you could load a zone from the Prog and it would then download from FTP with the coorisponding script. HMM..

Thouts!

Great idea Omper and steamfont captured now im gona crop and pack it

that image program you poined us to is very powerfull but it gets ugly when its doing 4500 images LOL I ofund its easier on it to convert to Jpg on run 1 and crop on run 2

P.S how many bits do you want us to convert the Jpgs to im using default 24bit Jeg i could go to 8 ??? ill experiment with the steamfont set but an official word would be great

[omper]

here is the thing.. we just need to be able to see the target.. now remember that when the server goes to nighttime and you drop to 8 bit .. well you prolly wont be able to pick up the lighting..

Omper

[omper]

FYI..

Do the more outlying zones rather then citys and newb zones.. they have spawns..

IE.. try to do POair.. or storm or earth.. those are good ones.. and the deep..

DONT DO THAT DAMM ZONE THAT IS OFF OF MAIDENS EYE OR THERE ABOUTS.. THE ONE THAT HAS THE ILLUSIONS GOING MAD.. ITS GOT ALMOST ALL THE TEXTURES..

Omper

[Wumpas]

Lol i herd you Omper no need to shout lol

Ok im going to finish croping steamfont anyway in 24 as I have the data. then ill go ahead with the ones you listed

[omper]

ok .. i found a thumbnailer that makes the size of each about 3k.. only prob is its not free.. HEHEHE.. so still looking..

Omper

[omper]

ok .. so to make the image size smaller..


Image converter again..

Make the crpped image 220 by 360.. then after resize the images to 110 by 180 and that makes them 3k-4k in size.. thats the best we can do ..

that makes what was a 18 meg folder down to 456 KB .. btw that 456KB is Potimea.


tks..
