Virtual Graph-Paper Mapping...?

[Guest]

Dunno if this is the proper forum in which to post this.... If it isn't, please move this to the proper place....

Does anyone know of a way in which I can, while playing such as an emulated C64 adventure-game on my PC, make a graph-paper map, but on the PC and without actual graph-paper and pencil?

Maybe there's a program that I can d/l that would help with this? ???

Thx.

Heh, I was logged-in, or thought I was. Anyway, I posted the above.... :I

If it's a graphic adventure you could make screenshots of the locations (WinVICE=ALT+C , CCS64=ALT+F1) and merge those with a standard gaphic proggie later on.

I understand what you are saying, but honestly I'm not very good with photo-editing and -manipulation. And besides, that would seem to work only if the graphical-view was from above.

But if I'm playing Legacy of the Ancients, I start the game in the Museum at Tarmalon, which is displayed in a first-person view.

A way or program the way I describe would accommodate (I guess) all adventure-games, even text-adventures as well.

Yes, there is something out there for this. I forget the name, but you could probably find it with Google. The problem I remember was that it was shareware that stopped after only a few dozen locations. Sorry I can't remember more, but I know there is such a program.

Seems like long ago, I posted about about this in one of the Commodore forums (this one or another one, I don't remember), but I don't remember if I used this name, or a different name....hmmm....

I got an answer and d/led a little program like that, but that must of been on the HD of a computer that I no longer own....hmmm....

[Append:] Okay I haven't...yet...looked extensively, but I found this: http://autorealm.sourceforge.net/index.php. This seems to have a whole lotta extras more than what I really need, which is just, basically, little "graph-paper" maps, or even those maps that you'd sometimes make that looked kinda like a flow-chart. Whatever! I just hope to gods that this is not too complicated to get working....
