Description: |
Indian, Russian, or similar programmers - i.e. those who can make a dollar stretch much farther than can be done in the U.S. I'd rather deal with someone from this side of the world, but cost is a big issue. My project is a game that uses individual hexes to compose a large map. I have a database which "knows" the exact location of each hex, and which of several terrain types (forest, water, plains, swamp, etc) it is. I have logic written that will read the database, decide which hexes are adjacent to one another, and generate a section of the map on the fly. The problem is that one cannot accurately display hexes from HTML pages - as you know, all regions of an HTML page truly are rectangles. This means that my hex graphics must be sliced. To make workable rows, I must use half of one hex, plus a quarter of two other hexes (see attached file for example). I have nine terrain types. Any individual graphic can hold up to three terrain types. (Forest can be bordered by forest only, or by forest and water, or by desert and water, etc, in every combination). As you can see, I need MANY graphics to make this work. I can do this, and have done many of them, but I simply do not have the time to finsih them all - I need to work on other programming-intensive areas. This is where you come in. I need you to make each and every one of these hexes. I can provide you with the originals, but you need to give me all of the resulting hexes - in a right and a left. Mirroring DOES NOT work, as the patters are ruined. You'll have to crop accordingly. Deliverables are several hundred .gif files, named in a useable manner. Additional Info (Added 2/1/2005 at 12:10 EST)... There seems to be some confusion as to the scope of this project. No, an application that slices images will not do it for me. Due to the nature of creating hexagons from rectangualr slices, it just won't work. Please see http://www.rdinn.com/varioushexes.zip - this file contains three terrain types. To be selected for this job, please give me a suitable demo by taking these files, slicing them, and creating, say, a hex with forest as the main portion, mountains on the upper left, and deser on the lower left. Then, let's see the other half of the hex - forest on the main portion, with either of the two other terrain types (in any combination you like). If I can take the two graphics you have just created and put them together, I should get a seamless forest pattern on the big hex. If I have lost you, look at the graphics. Your finished hex should be 73x91 pixels, in .gif format (no jpeg - repeated saving makes them blurry). If I combine a "left" and a "right", the pattern should be seamless. The best way I have found to do it - and it's a manual process - is to manually crop the desired area and paste it as a layer, then rearrange other manually cropped areas. This does require a little manual retouching, as most people cannot perfectly crop a diagonal area. No bid will be accepted without a mocup that shows you can do what I ask. I'd hate to get your four hundred files, and they not tile correctly. Additional Info (Added 2/1/2005 at 13:35 EST)... I just realized why the programer "mugur" made the threat he did in his bid - extremely unprofessional and uncalled for. I did not, nor have I ever, suggested that programmers from India, Russia, or other non-US nations are inferior. When I referred to "those who can stretch a dollar much farther than can be done in the U.S.", I was referring to the simple fact that US dollars buy far more in your part of the world than they do in mine. This is why US firms outsource to your part of the world, after all! I'm hoping this was a language barrier thing, and not someone simply itching to take offense where none was offered. STOPzilla!
