In Response To: Problem with starting maps (Mangle Me Elmo)

: I know how to create a map in Loathing, but something's
: wrong. I'm trying to create a map in Microsoft
: Imaging, I save it as a bitmap, but when i try to open
: it in Loathing, it tells me that it must be 8-bit,
: uncompressed, and a multiple of 246 (or a number close
: to that I think). Has anyone used Imaging to create a
: Loathing map that can help me?

Haven't used Imaging, but i can give you a couple general pointers. First, create a document with dimensions that are multiples of 256 pixels (eg. 512X512 pixels, 1024X1536, etc.) It has to be at LEAST 512X512, and you'll probably want a bigger map because 512 creates a really small map. Also, if you have an option to do so, select 8-bit color (like you said), and then create your picture. There are guides out there to help you make a map; find one of those for more help.
