Hi!
Now I have uploaded the playable map to my site www.mannaberg.se. Free to download.
Its the jan 7 -2012 version with the 63 Tga files.

To print it you need a high quality full map picture. Not a very compressed jpg one.
Use ex the free Irfanview program and put together (make panorama) the 63 files and you
get a tga file with 9218*7168 pixels. After that you can experiment with size and print it.
Goran


Thanks for the advice

I have created the big map from the 63 files, it is a jpeg as that's all Irfanview seemed to like, and will be sending it off for printing once I have confirmation that it is of an acceptable quality.

So, on the basis that these things are usually cheaper the more one orders, would anyone (in the UK) be interested in a hard copy of the map? I have resized it to make it fit onto a sheet of A0. I can accept payment via Paypal to cover the printing and any associated P & P. At present I have no idea of the cost but I would estimate £20 - £30 and more if you want it laminating.

PM me rather than add to this thread

Hi!
Irfanview can handle tga -files. Perhaps you must add that function.
Try to keep the picture us uncompressed as possible. Otherwise
at least the dates will be difficult to read. Check that.
Goran



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (1/9/2012 3:44:57 PM)

Hi!
I have uploaded to my site the full map to view.
Its one tga-file. 9218* 7168 pixel. Made of the 63 tga-files in the game.

goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (1/12/2012 4:50:33 PM)

Hi
The game map I think is done on a map with scale 1: 2 or 2,5 Milj.That is typical for
a military strategic overview map. An ex. is the German OKH map of the Siegfried planning see map 4.
The most typical German "situation map" "Lagekarte" " Operationskarte"is in scale 1: 1 Milj. see map 2.
They were produced once a day ( in some periods 2 times).
More detailed strategic maps ( also perhaps tactical) were the ones in scale 1:300 000.
They were put together to "Grossblatt-Karten" 2-4-6 together. see extract in map 3.
Finally my "Operationskarte". See map 1 with information more like in the typical German Operationskarte.
You can compare. I have choosen one of the most difficult areas to extend information in.
Thats because all relations must be kept between rails and rivers in order not to change game play.
Goran

I've not had a queries regarding the map so I have got my own. It's A0 laminated and cost me £29.50 including postage.

If anyone is wanting a similar map I can thoroughly recommend this chap

Hi!
Latest version. Less errors and more details.
Goran




goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (1/20/2012 11:47:43 AM)

Hi!
On my site www.mannaberg.se , the new Operationskarte 1941-45
in a playable version ( 1-63 Tga files) and as a fullmap are uploaded.
Regards,
Goran



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (2/10/2012 6:24:12 PM)

Hi!
A more complete version of the Operationskarte 1941-45 " Planning map".
On a start map in about the scale of 1:2,5M I have transferred the naming, coastlines and rivers from
a typical German OKH map in scale 1:1M. A very few name changes have been done so most things are pure adding.
Sometimes naming is also done to minimize minor map distortions. They are very few.
The naming adds a feeling of the maps that were used as "situation maps" by the German OKH.
Game play is not at all altered. The added facts are " not ingame".
This means that its of no importance with which map you play with or against.
Occupation dates are from mostly official Soviet sources.
Exceptions are from detailed well-known German or Anglo-Saxian sources.
With the help of these dates you can at any time of the war or on any place on the map compare to history.
Its easy to see the bigger campaignes because of the colour scheme. Year and force.
Here is the preliminary version.
Goran






goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (2/12/2012 12:58:26 PM)

Hi!
The new playable map ( 63 Tga-files) and the complete map ( 1 Tga-file)
can now be downloaded from my site www.mannaberg.se
( I would be interested if anyone has another opinion about
the localisation and numbers of the HQ 's for the Soviet fortified regions june-41)

Hi!
On the modded map.
Any objection to this?
Its a patrol that reached the Astrachan-Baku railway 23 aug-42.
Went back next day.
I know its not the most put forward view.
( thats a patrol from Elista-Utta to Zeneli (Senseli?) 15 sept -42
Just to the north outside this map.

Hi!
German advance ( with some dates) in other part of Caucasus.

mercho -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (2/25/2012 12:41:29 AM)

Hi Goran,

Do you still have a map without all the dates but with the new town names ? For my eyes it's a little bit to crowded with the additional dates on it...
And i forgot to make a backup....
Thanks in advance.




DerGrenadier -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (2/25/2012 9:58:31 AM)

When I try to connect to the map page Ima getting the following

Any clue?

Hi!
Sorry to say that I havnt separeted the map in two versions, one with names and one with
names and dates.
Regards,
Goran



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (3/4/2012 8:53:40 AM)

Hi!
Revised the map in the Caucasus and The Baltics. Further dates to be able to follow
the progress of the war easier. More reliable geographical end-positions for the Germans in the east
and the historical main passes (Rails already shown)in some heavy mountain and swamp areas.
Can be downloaded in TGA-version from my site www.mannaberg.se
Playable map version ( 63 TGA-files) on the same site.
Regards,
Goran






goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (3/6/2012 1:19:05 PM)

Hi!
When I tested to download the playable map from my own site I noticed that some TGA-files had got lost in the up or down zip loading!?
Check that you got all 63 files! If not inform me! I have taken the upload away till I know its fuctioning ok.
Goran



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (3/6/2012 1:29:14 PM)

Hi!
I have now uploaded a new zip-file that seems to function well with all 63-TGA files after download
Goran



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (3/17/2012 1:37:34 PM)

Hi!
Sorry to have discovered a map error.[:(]
If you have downloaded the playable map replace 16.tga with the new 16.tga file here as attachment or uploaded on my site!
The fullmap "Operationskarte" in TGA-version is possible to download in the new correct version from my site.
Goran



ETF -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (3/31/2012 1:08:14 PM)

Link that is not under investigation by the FBI? :)



Remmes -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (4/7/2012 9:02:15 PM)

Hello Goran,

Very impressive piece of work! I visited your site to try and download the playable map, but found 'only' the big Operationskarte. Can't find the zoom2_nogrid folder. I have one big tga file now, but can't get this to work in WITE. I guess the game needs the separate TGA's in order to function. Could you tell me where I can find the playable map?

Thanks in advance,

Ramses



goranw -> RE: Planning map(on a zoom 2 map) (4/8/2012 11:17:45 AM)

Hi!
Now you can download the 63 playable tga-files from my site.
www.mannaberg.se
But in 3 zip files ( 1-21,22-42 and 43-63 )
Have trouble to upload big zip-files to my site.

Hi!
Go to my site www.mannaberg.se.
Download the 3 zip-files ( 1-21 , 22-42 and 43-63 ). The map consists of 63 tga-files.
Put them all in a new folder unzipped.
Rename the old (in War in the East-Data-Art)- Zoom2_nogrid folder you already have in the game
so you can have it as a reserve when you get tired of my map. Call it ex. ResZoom2_nogrid.
Name the earlier made new folder where you have put the 63- tga-files Zoom2_nogrid
That folder now replaces the old one with the same name.
Load the game as usual.
Goran

Hi!
This is a bit (too) roughly how the WitE "planning map" would look like
when -43 roads (not ingame) are added.
