SIPRES -> 1776 MOD (5/3/2017 7:42:05 PM)

Hello All,

Here is some presentation material about 1776 American war of independence project (from Thebattlefield and Myself).

So far the map (still on going work) covers:
North to south --> Quebec and great lakes to Yucatan and carabeans
East to west --> America east coast (from Mississipi river) to europe west Coast

Majors Nations involved:
Great Britain
Continentals
France
Spain

New Graphic interface and windows (around 60-70% complete)
Diplomacy, research, Decision ect....
Historical flags
Custom resources sprites ect....

new units (2D only)
Majors completed --> minors on going

Still some hard task to complete scripting, and OOB to define.

As a start here is few screenshot of current progress

Christophe

Wow, looks really awesome. I don't know how you all design the counters like you do but it looks beautiful.



sPzAbt653 -> RE: 1776 MOD (5/4/2017 1:20:25 AM)

Wow, looks really nice ! How difficult is it to do the map ? I have no experience making maps with this game and wonder about it.



tigercub -> RE: 1776 MOD (5/4/2017 4:52:15 AM)

very impressive!

Hi sPzAbt653

Obviously the map is a difficult and long process (depends on size mainly), we share the work on a dropbox to allow quicker achievement.
The main problem is the coastlines wich had to be done manually.
Other items like rivers streams, terrain and ressources are more "easier"
I found an usefull tool on the forum "the map scanner" wich make lets say 30% of the job for the coastlines.

I am also working on an other map with a bigger scale that I will show on a separate thread (Europe 250x204).
This could be use and shared for divisionnal scenario scale for example.

Last but not least: the new "1776" sounds! [sm=character0272.gif](95% complete)



TheBattlefield -> Map work (5/14/2017 4:26:26 PM)

Hello! To prove that we are still working hard on this mod, I have now uploaded some screenshots of our map development:

After importing the raw map, the partly unsightly coastal lines were straightened. Afterwards, we have placed a few important cities (New York, London, Madrid, Paris) to use as a point of orientation for further map content. After working out the British Isles, I went to France. A lot of work is waiting here!

TheBattlefield -> RE: Map work (5/14/2017 4:29:49 PM)

The next step is to position and label the smaller cities. Do not be fooled ... what looks so easy here takes hours! [;)]

TheBattlefield -> RE: Map work (5/14/2017 4:33:55 PM)

Now the main rivers. For their development, the cities offer a very good orientation.

TheBattlefield -> RE: Map work (5/14/2017 4:36:39 PM)

Now it's time for the infrastructure. All the cities and fortresses must have a reasonable road network...[8|]

TheBattlefield -> RE: Map work (5/14/2017 4:40:00 PM)

And finally, the landscapes and additional resources follow. Finished. All in all 4 days of work. [:)]

Lehnardtsson -> RE: Map work (5/17/2017 11:46:47 AM)

wondelfull!
American Independance War is not my cup of tea but your mod definitivaly worths it!



Iņaki Harrizabalagatar -> RE: Map work (5/17/2017 2:34:36 PM)

It is a lot of work. I see that the map scale is about 40Kms/hex, unfortunately that is still too much for a divisional or even Corps only game, have you considered making an even more detailed map (say 20Kms/hex) for a limited part of Europe?

I got this project, see on separate thread (Europe 20kms/hex), but first we have to finalize 1776 map.



BillRunacre -> RE: Map work (5/22/2017 2:57:41 PM)

I really love those fortresses! [:)]



SIPRES -> RE: Map work (5/25/2017 10:22:28 AM)

Thanks all,

The Fortress and other custom ressources sprites had been designed by Monsieur TheBattlefield wich made a really cool job.

A small update with Nato Zoom sprite (will be included in the MOD)
