A couple other points about this excellent mod:

- The naval comments written onto the map seem out of place to me (explaining the Soviet Black Sea fleet etc.)
- The eastern USSR hasn't been finished with town names, giving the mod an incomplete feel.
- The 'Valdai Hills' label really looks out of place.

This mod is a beautiful piece of work, extremely well done.  Though I find the town names clutter the map too much for my tastes -- however I love the factory, resource, port etc. icons.  Is there any chance of a 'slim' version of the mod with everything but town names?




Hi there. Thanks for the positive remarks.

If there is significant demand for a slim version, that can be produced, but to be honest I haven't heard anyone else asking for one.

Maybe you can run a poll?

It's back-breaking work to enter all the town names and around the time I got to the eastern USSR I started to realize how many annoying game issues there were, so I stopped playing the game and working on the mod.

I have come back recently to test the latest release via PBEM. If I get hooked again I might finish the mod for completeness sake.

PM me your email address and I will send you a small set of files with no Valdai label and no naval info.



EisenHammer -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (9/11/2011 11:06:08 PM)

Well I sure hope you get hooked again for completeness sake



Wild -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (9/12/2011 2:28:03 AM)

Agreed. I have to hand it to you Redmarkus, this is a great mod.



Redmarkus5 -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (9/24/2011 6:38:27 PM)

Thanks gents. I am trying to muster up the courage to open the 60-odd map files and layers again...



Wild -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (9/24/2011 7:54:55 PM)

Good luck. You have made a big contribution to the game.

Just in case if you decided to start again. I found a few places you may want to know about.
1 Hex X56. Y83. Brody. East of Lvov.
2 Hex X76. Y18. Kotly. South West of Leningrad.
3 Hex X82. Y21. Kukkovo. South of Leningrad.
And good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Thanks... for making this Mod even more awesome.[sm=bow.gif]



Wild -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (9/26/2011 1:05:36 AM)

Thanks, outstanding.[:)]



Paleo~nard -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (12/13/2011 6:30:45 AM)

First, many thanks for the Mod. It is highly appreciated. Also of note is the labor it took to complete.

Now for the semi/low-level bad news: There is an error South of Orel.

"Malo-archangelsk" is one of the three towns/villages labeled on the railroad between Orel and Kursk. The proper name there should be "Ponyri".

This can be easily verified online by entering 52.32°N 36.29°E into Google maps. Note that the major North-South rail line runs through Ponyri, NOT Maloarchangelsk.
Another verification source is David M. Glantz. Any one of his numerous books on the 1941-1945 War in the East - Great Patriotic War - should have at least one map of the Orel-Kursk area.

Hopefully this post reaches the goal of being helpful, not a detraction, to the superb Mod produced.

This is what the new Map 19 gives you (obviously minus the red rectangle!)

Hi. I don't doubt you.

I have labelled the map using the names coded into the game to avoid confusion. There are a number of naming errors in the game but until they are fixed, I propose to use the same names on the maps as those coded in WiTE.

If I didn't do that, then you would see 'Ponyri' on the map, but Maloarchangelsk would pop up when you click on Ponyri.

Perhaps you can post your observation as a bug and it might get fixed?



bcgames -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (12/14/2011 8:52:05 PM)

redmarkus4 -- Thanks again for this mod. It is a real time-saver when building historical scenarios. It really helps in the placement of troops cuz in provides more points of reference.

Downloading...thanks again. Still love the mod.



HercMighty -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (12/16/2011 10:53:41 PM)

These are all for the grid version right? Are there non-grid versions?

I am only working on updating the grid version now because 99% of players seem to report that they always play with the grid on.

There is an original non-grid version (it was available via the Wiki) but it almost doubles the effort to support that with updates, so I don't propose to.

See if you can PM Cookie Monster to see if he can get you access to the non-grid files.



JiminyJickers -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (1/11/2012 5:11:57 AM)

This is great, thank you very much. Adds a lot more atmosphere knowing which town I'm fighting near.



markwall06 -> RE: (REL) Place Names Mod by Redmarkus (1/17/2012 1:01:55 PM)

On the version I downloaded there is a cross hatching in the sea south of Helsinki that says "Mine Warefare", I believe it should say "Mine Warfare"
