If anyone gets the XBOX 360 wireless controller working fully with the analog triggers working as digital buttons to pull up the macro palettes then for christs sake please let me know, it seems to be the only other controller I could live with for FFXI. In 32bit I can't use 5.5GB of my ram, so I can't run other stuff I'd like to when playing FFXI. So now I have a late 2010 built computer with 4 cores, crossfired GFX cards, 8GB ram, and I have to dual boot it into 32bit Windows 7 just to play FFXI cos I can't live without my GC controller for playing it. I've tried in vain to get a 64bit driver for my GC adaptor, tried 2 other adaptors, tried a few other generic joypads for the PC, tried everything to get the xbox 360 joypad working (one fix was to use the charging USB cable and hacked drivers which only worked when you put Windows 7 into debug mode which bypassed signed driver checking), but they all fail to give the results I have from my GC joypad under 32bit Windows. It works so well, all the buttons and triggers work (can use the yellow analog joystick for targetting around me etc), but it has a major drawback, the drivers are only available for 32bit windows. I've been playing FFXI with a gamecube joypad for over 5 years now, and like the xbox 360 one is a really solidly built pad. If the finishing point doesn't join up properly with the starting point, filling with textures and colours etc doesn't work.The fact that the xbox 360 controller drivers don't let you use the triggers as digital buttons (for macro palette) is a major drawback for me. One word of warning - you have to have quite a steady hand with the mouse to draw in GIMP, especially with parts of the outline that form a complete shape, such as a continent, or island. Once that's done you can delete the first. You can then import that into Gimp as a layer and then Trace your outlines from it onto a second layer. GIMP also has a very comprehensive on-line manual.Īs a start, it's useful to have a sketch, or outline of your map, done with something like Paint, or and saved as a. The latest CC3+ update is currently in beta, and you can download it from your registration page over at the main ProFantasy website if you wish to try it out.

Just Google something like 'making maps with GIMP.' Many of them take you through the map-making process on a step-by-step basis. Both are free to download.Īt first the process seems to be a bit daunting and time-consuming, but there is a large number of good instructional videos and articles on the web.

You can get really impressive results using GIMP and Wilbur.
