Hello there!
After some consideration I finally bought RW and currently trying it out a bit. I need some help with smart maps: I inserted a smart map (within the size limitations, jpg) and noticed the following things: - In the edit and GM view mode all looks okay and the pin is properly placed. - In the player view the borders of the map window seem to be way too large. - If I zoom out to 10% I can see the map pin at a wrong position - Also the map parts that are revealed to players are at the wrong postion. Is this a known bug? Are there other limitations with the input format like DPI, colours etc.? Here are some properties from the image: 9.9 x 18.0 cm; 3.9 x 7.1 inches 1166 x 2126 Pixels (2.48 MPixels) (1.82) 256 (8 BitsPerPixel) Resolution: 300x300 dpi JPEG, quality: 88, subsampling OFF Unique Colors: 256 Disk Size: 302.21 KB (309.459 Bytes) Another picture seems to work just fine. PS Also after resizing and reducing the number of colours it did not work. Best regards and thanks for all feedback in advance. Last edited by Acenoid; May 3rd, 2014 at 02:53 PM.

Hi,
does anyone else have the same problem or did you get around it? |

I know that some differences in the handling of jpeg vs. png files were causing an extra border to appear on some images (I think it was the jpegs, but not certain now).
I don't recall seeing reports of the other issues, though. |

There is a known issue with some JPG images (specifically grey-scale) causing issues. See this thread, for example:
http://forums.wolflair.com/showthread.php?t=48847 Have you tried saving the JPG image as a PNG instead? In many cases I've seen that PNG files become smaller than a JPG image when the data is not photographic type of image, so you would save some space as well as it probably working within Realm Works. |
