« on: April 23, 2019, 03:00:52 pm »
Currently Put on Hold since i am out of ideas on what i should fill the world with, have hopped on a newer and a bit smaller project.

Im working on a new map i made a while ago every now and then. as im too lazy to get new screenshots all the time its kinda hard to showcase the zone as i need many.

But i do have this awesome image.

Noggit / Noggit 1.4
« on: August 04, 2018, 02:46:16 am »
I am unable to find any version of the 1.4 noggit one, reason to why i want the 1.4 is because i can add water chunk by chunk instead of every ADT.

Noggit / Backing your map up.
« on: June 02, 2018, 07:03:30 pm »
Backup your files in a organised & Simple way
When it comes to noggit it is very very important that you make backups, without a backup and 1 mistake you could ruin the whole map in seconds, so being it a 5 minute project or a month worth project. Therefore its important that you create backups, but it takes a lot of space and might get messy to know what backup is what.

So how do can you backup saving harddrive space, but also make it easy to see what backup is which?

It's pretty simple and something i started doing myself. so how do you do it?


Saving Hard drive space
 There is a very easy way to save space on your backed up maps, That is by adding it to a Winrar archive.
It compresses the files and lessens the space but it ALSO makes it easier to store other files inside it. Such as Pictures or Notes

You can Archive a folder or a file to a Rar file by right clicking it and then pressing "add to "name_of_the_file".rar
My rar file saved 75% more space when i archived my backup.

Save even more Space
Another way to save even more hard drive space is to adding the Map first to a MPQ file and then to a rar file, it compresses it and makes it even smaller.

Naming the files
Naming the Backups is very important because it lets you know what backup is what, and what changes you made.
So when you make a backup, always rename it to what the map is called and then the date of the time the backup was made.

Mapname_2018-05-30

Another way to easier know what changes you made to the map is adding a short description to the name after the date

Quote
Mapname_2018-06-01_Before mountain changes
Now This will only tell you the changes you made at that point, if its a big map or you decide to take some off, you might have forgotten what that change was, So how can we make it easier to know what we did? Take a picture inside Noggit of what you changed

Windows comes with a very handy tool called "Snipping Tool" that allows you to easily take photos and then save them to your computer in seconds (On Macbook use CTRL + Shift + 4)

This is one easy way to do it if you don't want to use winrar to archive files.
Now Save the picture with the exact name as the backup

Example of how the picture could look Mapname_2018-06-01_Before Mountains.PNG

If you wish to add a note instead, then do the same thing as you did with the picture.

Recommendation

I personally would recommend that you use Winrar to archive the Backup with the pictures and notes. It allows a much cleaner look inside your backup folder and also makes it easier to navigate, it at the same time saves hard drive space.

Here are some pictures to show the difference between normal folders and win-rared folders.

With Winrar

Noggit / Discord dedicated to noggit
« on: May 19, 2018, 08:21:28 pm »
Discord has become very big the past years and is now used for everything and is mostly used and tells users to navigate to instead of forums. Therefore with an idea (You already know what im gonna ask) do you think a discord server dedicated to Noggit would be something that you are interested in?

A place where people can share their work, guides, get help, discuss noggit and be part of the modding community who also uses noggit.

I think it would open the interest for Noggit more and it would help us progress faster in our creations.

Personally i think it would be great and it would allow you to quick and easily get support it anything you do.
