Hi Subchaser,

Thanks for the info, I don't mind running in 32 bit color at all. Going to try that out. Thanks for the tip. And
of course, thanks a BUNCH for the map. [&o]

ORIGINAL: Subchaser

Corrected version 2.1 will be posted soon. I’ve found a new host. V2.1 will be suitable for both 16bit and 32 bit modes. If you have already downloaded v.2.0, and experience problems mentioned by Rocco, please run the game in 32bit mode, initialize game thru the shortcut (procedure described above).

Btw, I wonder how many of us run WitP in 32bit mode, that 1.5 feature makes even original style map look good. I’m asking cause I can post version that I use personally, it has no noise over the water areas, no hazy effect and in 32bit mode looks crystal clear, in addition it’s only 48mb big (both variants).

Better quality, smaller size - sounds great! Does the 32-bit mode make things run more slowly?

That would be great!if isn't too much trouble,of course.

This is another improvement for your map,but I can't help but notice that the best map(for me,at least) would be the one that combines your changes with original map(deep-shallow water borders from the original map).I don't know is that possible to do due to all changes applied to the map,but that would be THE map for this game,imho.

Downloaded this one and applied 32-bit switch to WITP. It appears you have some "steps" visible where BMP files should "blend" into each other. This was not visible in previous versions of your map (16-bit ones that I used).

One "step" is visible immediatelly south of Timor, another south of Ponape island...

When I made the original map mod that this is based on that was the hardest part ...getting all the map segment borders to mesh up exactly:) Its a pain, I eventualy just made one HUGE photoshop file with template sections to just paste back into the originals.

I'm running 32 bit no hex variation and havent noticed any problem areas yet here.

No install.It's just some bitmap files(although really good ones[8D]),so you don't need 2.0

SC you still have glitches on the latest version - north of Honshu.

How come your old 16-bit version didn't have any glitches? Is dealing with these seams harder when doing 32-bit maps?

Downloaded from Spooky's and everything looks great but I'm still seeing seams with two different sea colors. One running North/South right through Ponape Island and another running about due south of Los Angeles. I'm using the -deepCOLOR 32 bit switch. Do I need to do something else?

Hi Subchaser,

Looks very good. Where did Bora Bora go? Liked the landmark. I didn't notice any glitches in 32 bit, didn't look too close though. [:)]
