New mapping utility

I've got a new utility available for map makers. It is called skywriter. Type in your text in a web form and it creates and .mis file for BHD with your text in the sky. The text is made up of ammo boxes. Typically 6-14 per letter.

Note if anyone links to it, please use this redirect in case I move actual location: http://skywriter.hopto.org

nice! Man thats useful, thanks!

Altho I couldnt get the save as thing to work so i just made a blank map, saved it, then copied and pasted the text from IE and opened my blank map in notepad and pasted it and saved it and then opened it in DFBHD Med.

the page you see after you plug in th text is the mis file, transfer it to noitepad and save as a .mis

Exactly, or if that for some reason dont work, do what I said in the post before (which you obviously didnt read).

Good catch ICE CANNON.
I updated the instructions to work better.

Not sure why on one computer it displays text in browser and another it pops up Save Dialog. I may be able to tweak header to get it to force Save Dialog.

I tweaked the header, I think it will usually force the Save Dialog to pop up instead of displaying text in browser. It is kind of hard to control. A lot of the behavior is dependent on which browser and what its settings are.

Let me know if you see problems.
