I've been routing a game called artifact adventure for a while (yes I'm aware of a guy that did a run on YT, it's not even valid as it is a TA and not a RTA).
Here is what I have gotten so far as a vague route (It's not done). I've been using Photoshop because of the layering and ability to create arrow heads.
My question to you all is, what kinds of software are out there that could help with this sort of process for annotating each path? I could try labeling each connection or area visit in some form of 1A-LTR (FirstArea-VisitOne-AreaName) or something like that, but what I'd really like is something where I could mouseover and get data off of it. I could create an interactive web page but that would take more work for me, when I just want to focus on the route.
In a nutshell I'm looking for mapping software that has the following features: Layers Mouseover annotations (or some form of simple annotating that is visually linked with the route data) Simple and intuitive methods of visually drawing a route
Maptools from RPtools.net. You do need to have the maptools window active.
Edit: Also, you need to edit some things to make it more clear. If you want, I can make a framework to use for the routing process.
I checked out MapTools, it seems really overcomplicated for what I'm looking for. If you're interested in making a framework I'd greatly appreciate it! I'm pretty close to being done, but I think it would be a big help for anyone interested in routing something like this.
Well, it is actually meant for tabletop gaming, but it can be used for many more things. Some even made boardgames on it. The frameworks will be available here
To set up the map, simple go to Map, and select either new map or edit map. Then choose it as the background. Or you drop an image in the background layer. The rest of the info is in there.
