I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but at least I've found nothing in the search function.
Something that occured to me while playing with th map editor yesterday was that it would be very useful (though probably hard to implement ) if one could overlay/scale a jpg image in the map editor, maybe at 50% opacity. It would make creating maps based on "real" data - world maps, or, in my case, a map of Magnamund - a lot easier and would save having to print out maps with a raster overlay on it.
Yeah, I'm lazy.
I know that map editor patching is probably not very high on the list of priorities right now, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
There used to be a program called GameOverlay that you could use to overlay other windows on top of a fullscreen game. It doesn't seem to be available for purchase anymore, but you might try the shareware download.
Also, if you have a video camera and a second monitor, you could rig something together.
This program will fit your needs fairly well its free http://www.silo3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16966
I use it for 3D modelling. For the map editor you will need to change your video setting to a windowed resolution. I have tested it and it works
That looks pretty much like what I was looking for. Thanks, guys!
