::If you use zmud and can afford the subscription price ($30 or so, every two years as determined by major release versions (that is, if an upgrade doesn't take you from 1.x to 2.x you don't pay until you make that upgrade), ZMapper might be an option. It's set up as a table-top mapper utility as a direct competitor to Campaign Cartographer and its underling clones, but it also allows you to include room info so that the map works with ZMud (speedwalking and scripting). It's a real pain and a lot of work to use most of the more-advanced features, but for simple map creation like you would do so in Paint it's a piece of cake. |

Fonts used?
Copied from Category_talk:Map_Errors because I think the discussion will be more visible here: --Farman 18:35, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
- Anyone know what font is used on the maps?

- Good question, I have also been curious what graphics program people are using to create the maps in the first place.
- This discussion might be more prominently seen in Talk:Ranik_Maps so I'm going to copy it there. --Farman 18:32, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
- I've been using MS Paint for my editing. Creating a map from scratch would be rough, but doable with enough patience. PhotoShop/Paintshop should be easier, but I have no real experience with either program. -Glimmereyes 22:04, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
- If you use zmud and can afford the subscription price ($30 or so, every two years as determined by major release versions (that is, if an upgrade doesn't take you from 1.x to 2.x you don't pay until you make that upgrade), ZMapper might be an option. It's set up as a table-top mapper utility as a direct competitor to Campaign Cartographer and its underling clones, but it also allows you to include room info so that the map works with ZMud (speedwalking and scripting). It's a real pain and a lot of work to use most of the more-advanced features, but for simple map creation like you would do so in Paint it's a piece of cake.
- The only drawback to the program is that it basically failed to grab much market share and Zugg had to pretty much abandon it as a separately maintained product (it's going to be folded into CMud Pro).--Symphaena 16:36, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
- Not sure what's being used for Creature names, but Ranik's seems to be using Times New Roman. Brablo's seems to use Ariel.

- Not sure what's being used for Creature names, but Ranik's seems to be using Times New Roman. Brablo's seems to use Ariel.
