Emergent hex crawl in FG

[claedawg]

If you find Gimp hard to use (it is very different from most paint programs). The free for noncommercial use IrfanView has a batch processor as well. I've used IrfanView for years for simple image modifications: resizing, de-rezzing, lower the bit rate, file type conversions ie anything but creation. It does *NOT* handle transparency though.

I don't think you understand my ineptitude with art software. When you say batch, all I can think of is making a batch file on a disk so that windows will automatically boot up, instead of me manually opening windows from the c prompt, on my tandy, lol.

If you get stuck on the outline steps I gave above, I can walk you through the process with Gimp via Discord.

No worries. Batch processing does have its history in batch files like that and also in submitted jobs for mainframes - but for art programs it usually means make a common change to a "batch" of pictures in the same folder - in this case a bunch of hex graphics. Rather than change a few hundred hex graphics one at a time you would automatically do all the changes to them all at once.

I may hit you up on that if I need help and get around to mapping again, lol.

Thanks for the clarification Griogre!!!
