@black_elk said in Working on a New Map 40/41: Seeking Suggestions:
perhaps with some map making type tutorials in the same way that Pact of Steel 2 taught how to create an xml and such
:+1:
OK the map is marginally better… except you have some major thing with bright colors… That vomit yellow would not be bad if you picked a less bright yellow.
ON your old map you had Japan and Italy way too close in colors
Lybia does not look like any Lybia i have seen
china should be red so you can use AAP Japanese pieces form it and now they will match…plus soon its red china anyway so why not help it along?
The Soviets need to be the same color as Milton Bradley Soviet pieces… because thats the bast color for them. That revised burgundy is crap.
British Kaiki is hardly as strong a color or similar to Milton Bradley Soviets.
You should dump the squares with that anchor and put the ports inside on the territory. make the anchor white and the box the same color as the territory so we dont have to see those lame boxes and slit our throats
So um, do you wanna update the first post to include the links at
since all the yourfilehost.com links are dead?
Lets use your BBG links in their place. If you can get them ill change my sticky to correspond to the links.
I already posted the links earlier.
Click on “Quote from: tekkyy…” and it’ll take you to my post.
I am about to print out the map again.
The Spanish translation of your map prompted me to do some tweaks to the icons.
I also added in icons for neutral army so you don’t have to look up the table.

Actually all 4 versions (standard/italy, plain/setup) of the map still has Sahara as “Impassable” rather than “Desert” lol.
And to be easier for my print outs I might even put “Strait Interdiction” and terrain bonuses on the map too.
Maybe we should have a list of known issues haha.
naw … no more changes… that is done. :lol:
actually replace the dead links with these even newer links
on my ISP webspace so won’t be inactive deleted
fixed a few typos here and there (eg. UK player aid battleship was still 24 IPC, just picked it up in a game)

Updated “standard” map:
Honululu, Tobruk and Dakar VC added.
Hong Kong VC replaced Shanghai.
Astrakhan VC replaced Almaty.
Gibraltar, Argentina, Peru, New Zealand, China now mountainous.
(AARHE’s “standard” map is a map that keeps revised’s IPC and unit setup. The only border change is that Baltic Sea can no longer access Western Europe. Information are added to help new players.)
edit: two broken links are fixed by adding “_”
Put these latest links up.

I found a solution to the certain symbols (like IPC icons) in our illustrator file disappearing in PDF and photoshop.
You can “fix” the symbols.
The VCP icons works. But the IPC icons don’t.
One difference. The IPC icons have text.
Break link to the symbols.
I’ll post 300dpi files shortly.
And we can now use adobe reader to view the .ai files. After those changes.
ok fine.

http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/20071208_AARHE_standard_with_setup.tif
fixed: Switzerland missing IPC icon
these links don’t work. just blank screen
white screen?
its probably the white border
remember its 300dpi so if your browser is not set to auto zoom out…hehe
oh and browers don’t tend to load TIFF
regardless, you can do right click and go Save-As
by the way I just realise Spain’s mountainous terrain was left out hehe
further small fixes
fixed: added missing Spain mountainous
fixed: added missing Turkey destroyer
change: increased battleship icon size so its easier to tell part from destroyer
