Circels in the map editor

[SPIFFEN]

I just found out how to change the PAINT size to 70 x 48 ,
but the circels there is way to bad to make it look nice . =(

So if circels does'nt get implemented to the next mapeditor ,
i have to keep on struggeling to make these circels =P
( and follow jstudio's guide to make them circels )

I'm not sure what doesn't look nice about these circles, so I checked it out myself. These are the steps to follow:

1. Click Image -> Properties and select 70 by 48
2. Click View -> Zoom -> Custom and select 800%
3. Click Ellipse (bottom left icon), keep the SHIFT-key pressed (to create circles instead of ellipses) and drag the mouse
4. Use undo when you don't like it and repeat step 3
5. Save, preferably as .png image (better quality)

See attached result.

The circles looks very nice but there are small things that can be better.

Like what? ??? It's only the resolution that restricts you and this is determined by the 70 by 48 blocks of the map editor, so there's nothing you can do about it.

It´s just a small thing but I change it in the map editor.
                     E                                    E
   X X X X E E                     X X X X E E
   X X X E X X                     X X E E X X
   X X E X X X   instead of   X E X X X X
   X E X X X X                     X E X X X X
   E X X X X X                     E X X X X X
   E X X X X X                     E X X X X X
E                                    E

(I don´t set all X because it´s cost too much work)

It can be 700x480 too, or any multiple of 70x48 ;)

Not if you want every pixel of a circle to match a square in the map editor (where you have to follow the outlines by hand).

[SPIFFEN]

Thick circels are hard , and circels that doesnt get the right size look strange =P

[UpperKEES]

For a thick circle you first draw a big circle (with filled centre) and then draw a smaller one on top of it (filled with the background color).

SPIFFEN has created a nice circle I see. (map: SPIFFEN's pac-man)
