Okay, maybe We'll stop being offtopic.

*Facepalm* at Ferent.

LOL Ferent thanked this post.

The thing is, this grudge has been going on since like, late June? Here's what happened.

Different saw that Latexi's avi was Hitler, so then they all had a flame war, everyone saw it go on and the usual JV pranksters called Different butthurt. Meanwhile Asilva went into prune mode and banned Skint and pruned his posts.

It was a crazy day on JV.

Thanks for info. Now, ontopic.

Isn't Shadowfax's avatar Osama bin Laden with a yak's face photoshopped onto it?

I mean, yes, Latexi's worse since its blatantly a picture of Hitler, no pun or humor attached at all, but I don't think an Osama avatar is favorable. Even if it's a joke. Which I think is a cute joke.

I seriously just forgot the point of this off-topic post.

Alrighty, let's ignore this post.

Sounds like a cool program, Latexi

Yes it does, but all I did was this disorganized tutorial. :p

[~Joel~]

Anyways nice program.

You should rename the thread how to macro and get banned.

People used to use this to macro back in the day. And there is better mouse and keyboard recording software around.

Also this guy has some good gifs. I <3 this OC.

That's kinda a cheap program considering all you have to do is record yourself drawing one fake block and then you can have ghost mouse make you 999 fake blocks, it kinda ruins those fake block maps that people worked really hard to make, not to mention using any program in general for art purposes in pr2 is pathetic. Acquire your own art skills. lrnhow2drw

Your argument is invalid. It's impossible to get the program draw your fake exactly in the right place in the block grid. Drawing the same bullshit over and over again doesn't take that much skills, but it takes a lot of time. If you want to do things the hard way, do it, but don't call people pathetic because they don't. I'd rather use my time to make something beautiful and new for my level than drawing 2 hours trees that all look the same anyway.

Yes, But I decided to use this one because it's free, compact, light, and easy to use.

It's not a macro tutorial and I'd rather get banned by posting insulting images about VforVendetta and other people I don't like here.

I love how the littlest things in JV can set off a big argument.

I am not returning these forums. I just found out something so awesome I simply had to share it with you.

Ya-....

First off: THIS IS NOT AUTODOTTER!!!!!!!!111 Autodotters are slow, laggy, and stupid.
It is a program that records and plays back mouse actions, which means, you can draw something, and then make the program draw the exactly same thing again for you. It's great for drawing repetive scenery for your levels. Here's how it works:
1: Download Ghost Mouse here. Note that THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL just because it's on Piratebay. It's a free program and you can download it somewhere else if you are too scared of pirate ships. Then install (obviously).

2: Go to Platform racing 2 level editor. Click the layer you want to draw your thing in. Click the drawing thing tool. Don't change anything yet.

3: Now start your perfectly free and legal Ghost Mouse software. Make sure everything is default. (Brush size, colour etc)

4: Click record and draw your drawing. Don't use the undo button or the arrows (the arrows in your keyboard). After you have finished click 'stop'.

5: Now you have all the steps of your drawing recorded. You can save them for more use later. Now move in your level where you want your stuff to be drawn. Before clicking 'play' to make the computer draw your stuff again, make sure all the settings are the same as they were before you started recording. You might also want to increase the drawing speed from the options of Ghost Mouse, but that decreases the quality a little.

6: ENJOY!

You can also share your drawing with your friends but I'm not sure will that work out so well because of screen resolutions, web browsers, etc.

If there are complications while drawing hold CTRL+ALT and click 'stop'.

Cool.

If anyone has already used this in a level I'd love to see what you've made.

I thought all macro programs could do this? It's not new by any means, you're just giving this idea to everyone who hasn't thought of it/seen it before. I've used macros to draw stuff.

Yes, ofcourse all macros can do it, I just used Ghost Mouse in this tutorial because I thought it's the best one for this purpose. And yes I am just telling about this thing to people because I just realized it myself and wanted to share it.
