Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Subchaser quote:
Your map looks *fantastic* Andrej, two questions though: - When it will be available thanks, but I can’t say that this is my map, I’m not Andrew Brown yet :), this is somewhat reworked original map with new fonts and eye-friendly color pattern. there were no plans of posting it actually, at least in its current form, but I may upload it for those who want (or have to) to keep original map… as soon as those morons from telecom company will fix my cable, I’m not mentally ready to upload 70mb+ file via dialup… sorry quote:
- Do you plan on making a version without hex outlines at all? It was done first, grid and everything else was added later. WITNxx - clean map files; WITPxx - smart map, so it’s possible to switch from one variant to another without moving the files. quote:
And a third - Do you plan on teaming up with Andrew (you two being namesakes practically) so that you two produce comprehensive map mod that both looks good and adds new features? Frankly, though Andrew's map is very wellcome, it's simply too ugly for me to look at for like couple hours daily (Andrew, no offense please ) We have already discussed this idea, he has nothing against another way to visualize his map, but close cooperation is impossible cause we’re using different tools. Nevertheless I’m going to remake his map in old good 3D style :) anyway (2D is fine by me, but I feel more comfortably with 3D). After brief observation it seems quite doable to me, it still reminds Earth, so I would say… in January it will be ready… very late in January… quote:
Subchaser, I see your modded maps still contain typos from the original version. I trust you'd take care of dreadful typos in spelling of Russian bases yourself but please make godawful TriMcomalee into TriNcomalee (how this went into "print" in the original game is beyond me, as this base is mentioned in like zillion history books), and also Alor Star into Alor Setar. I'm not sure whether Amboina (original map) is correct or should it be Ambonia (as on your map): I found some WW2 Dutch maps of the DEI on the Internet but they don't cover this particular area. I will, I will . It wasn’t changed intentionally, even Khomsomalsk is still misspelled , this mod was originally started as part of my scenario mod, I was going to correct spellings in data base first and left all errors on map as reminder. I’m waiting for two awesome geo-military monographs, when they’ll arrive I’ll correct everything at once, obvious and possiblemisspellings. Map is stored in PSD format so text layer can be updated in seconds. I hope your cable will be fixed soon - I very very much like what you did with your map mod! Leo "Apollo11"
