My Map Remakes thread

[Plodder]

Thanks for the comments, guys. I aim to please [:)]. I've uploaded a corrected version of Red Storm 11, One of the towns was spelt wrong and, since I've just learnt how to add accented characters, I've decided to use German spellings for the place names. So you'll now see umlauts where they're supposed to be and "ß" in place of "ss". The download link is the same: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hv2vouc1hfaqw7d/Red_Storm_11.zip

One of my towns was spelled wrong?

I intentionally didn't use German spelling. I like it that way but I thought it would leave a lot of people scratching their heads.

Good Hunting.

Any plans to update the city tiles with little streets too?

Yeah. According to Google maps, Eisenbergen should be Eisbergen. There have been a few others on the previous maps but I'd have to go over them again to tell you which ones. I'm going to anyway so I'll let you know when I find them.

I can understand that.[:)] It just seems wrong somehow when I'm using the German road sign font not to use the native spellings.[:D]

I have thought about it. Not sure if the payoff would be worth the effort as the grid and shading produces that effect already. I'll have a little play and see.

Here's what I've come up with. I've managed to create a 1 pixel grid street pattern around each building.It only take a few clicks to produce. The effect is quite subtle but it looks pretty good:

How about I put it to the vote? What would you guys prefer? Town and city names anglicised as they are now or with their German spellings?

examples: (English / German)
Heessen / Heeßen
Schuttorf / Schüttorf
Mollenbeck / Möllenbeck

[pekische]

I am for German spelling absolutely!

[Cataphract88]

German for me too, thanks.

[Jafele]

In german.

Not sure if this is of any help, but here are all German language village/city names along with their hex location:

edit: (quote) instead of (code) to work around forum software bug. (spoiler) tags would have been nice as well.

[zakblood]

error on page, too long i'm guessing



maybe better to edit it and split it up into so many posts?

[Plodder]

Hey, thanks for that. That will save me alt-numbering all the time.[&o] Just one request, could you edit your post and encapsulate that data in some quote tags, please? Firefox doesn't like ultra-long posts in these forums for some reason and the data overflows onto other parts of the page..

[Plodder]

Ha! ninja'd..[:D]

[Plodder]

Actually, make that quote tags.
(edited for length)

[Plodder]

Cheers W1ll14m.[:)]And I agree, spoiler tags would be good.

Red Storm 14 has been updated with the new urban textures and German spellings. Download at the same link.[:)]

[CapnDarwin]

That is a very awesome looking map. [&o][&o][&o]

[MikeGER]

i just cant wait until all maps are revision 1.4( i guess ?) [&o]

I recently switched to your mapdesign while betatesting (on a rev1.1 map) and now i see the tactical opportunities and necessaries much clearer[8D]

[Plodder]

I've given Red Storm 2 a facelift and it's now ready for download at the same link. I've redone the field graphics to scale, added the new urban graphics, and tweaked the elevation shading. I've also added the Inner German border.
