no doubt a common question many customers have when signing-up for the esri cool-aid. and really for our purposes, all of it can be done just on QGIS. you could even publish your tiles with a service and perhaps tweak a config files in the game and have it point to that instead of the OpenTopoMaps. ...

I use my free ArcGIS Online account to share one of their vector tile layers, something that would include some shaded relief. I'll edit the style to customize my version by adjusting colors of content in those tiles, use -"Edit in Vector Tile Style Editor". Then I go into the open source ...

I opened the sharing on this again for the map mods for WF EF RS ME VN as is so far.

The unit graphic mods for WF EF are there also, (those unit mods for VN and ME will get posted again eventually) Sound mods are there and some graphic alternate files as well.

Hang on. I'm getting some updates in there. should be open again in a couple days.

it would have to be a scenario somewhere else, with the absence of these assets, because they're tied-up here!

For sure, next thing I want to do with tile generation is to generate them in a more intelligent way. Right now Im going down to zoom level 13 for the entire theater of the scenario. So that includes that level of detail at sea also. I could polygon-out the land for level 13, and everything else no ...

more sharing... here's what my custom map built in QGIS and placed in the opentopomap tile cache looks for this scenario..

Thanks Andy, The updates for Middle East 2.31 map graphics are functional now for mediterranean and desert bioms. But will continue to tweek things now and then. They are the CSME321.. files. one for the 3d map graphics and one for the ongoing stuff with units graphics also. I notices some of the sc...

download and install the GIS software: https://www.qgis.org/en/site/forusers/download.html I'm not on the most latest version so hope this is ok for you to follow. once you get it running and open it, you start with a blank project. There should be a browser section where you manage data sources. Fi...

I've been creating my own map tiles for the look I want by combining Google Earth, Open Street Map, Esri etc. services into QGIS, then run the Generate XYZ Tiles tool which then generates the tiles that match those used in the game from Stamen Terrain, or OpenTopoMap. I store them locally by region ...

Confirmed, yes I had the engage opportunity off. -so no problems here.
but still getting older everyday..

I really like CMO (and going back to the harpoon days) and have religiously applied all updates as soon as they come out. But, admittedly have not spent a lot of time over the last year, or more (lots of competing games/sims out there). Feeling bad about this, I fired it up this morning to do a quic...

maybe could have sent the old file of leader portraits through Openai's Dalle-E to generate a new group of non-descript leader images??

yep, I also lost my surface warfare tutorials again with this last update

I've also wondered how detailed the ballistics are modeled in 3D. If full trajectory then you have to consider both altitude and range. Cant really give a single range number. More like top hemisphere of a spheroid.

My wish would be to be able to replace the Stamen map service by having the ability to point the game to another online map tile service, like, perhaps my own style built outside of the game. Right now I can only bring in small areas in as custom layers, which is not ideal. Just would rather not hav...

Cool Jason, -should be able to get more done this weekend.

yes I tried generated "night" the other day by running a python script using the pillow package. Dropped brightness to 50 and increased blue hue some. Don't know if I'll adjust some more. Its easy enough to change when I dip into the night scenarios. Could even adjust in a current game to ...

Oh, yes. sorry. I have more to do on the structures files, and need to convert a night time set. and double check the other bioms. But really I'd say its like 85-90% done, for me that is. I got to a point a month or two ago, then started actually playing the game. :roll: BUT, If you want to take a l...

Oh Hi Peri, thanks That's for sure, I'll get you some example issues I'm dealing with. But right, nothing too different. Pain point right now are those edge files. Like shallow edge or shore edge. Seems to be limited combinations for that since ME, so you end up with situations where edges get overl...
