「Map Description Generator」


Required
Java - Download

What's it for?

The user gives the tool the info needed for a good description: Map Title, Author, Short Gameplay Description, list of features, screenshots, credits and changelog
... And the tool takes that and adds fancy BBcode to it. This is a better alternative to -Kobas-'s Map Description Templates which needed to be manually edited by users.

Features

• Easy to use
• Different Styles
• No BBcode editing (skills) required

How to use

• Extract the downloaded .zip, open up the folder MapDescription->dist->MapDescription.jar
• Enter all the information you want. (Title, Author, Gameplay Description and Credits are required)
• To add screenshots, upload them first online, then insert their image URL into the different fields and tick both the checkbox next to Screenshots and the one next to the field which contains a URL
• Open File allows you to select a text file and that file's content will be inserted into the below field
• Finally, press Generate and the code has been copied to your clipboard. All you have to do now is ctrl+V it in the map thread you want it to be in

    I've tried this already, and i gotta say i love it. Not only does it get rid of the hassle of manuelly editing the BBcode template (and sometimes making a mistake that destroys the whole thing >.<), but now even newbs can have pretty map descriptions :D

    Also, this tool works on my Windows 7 64 bit PC

    Awesome useful tool for map developers.
    However, some tips:
    1) Screenshot and features count shouldn't be fixed (now you cannot add more than 8)
    2) Changelog also should form for each version of map not one form for all versions

    Anyway, 5/5, it is promising project. Good luck with it!

    Wow...nice work. I definitely going to use this when I decide to post my next map.

    Edit: Although, it would be nice if you could add different choices of Themes where you can choose from. Maybe you can add Kobas's Templates to these tools so it will have a variety to choose from.
