My Map Remakes thread

ORIGINAL: pekische

absolutely perfect again!

Not quite.[&:] I noticed a couple of errors so I've uploaded a revised version. Same link as above.[:)]

[Plodder]

I've been testing a few ways to enhance the elevation changes more, as I'm not totally happy with what I've got at then moment.The North west edges of the elevations are hard to distinguish in urban environments for example.

I've come up with a few ways to do it. I've made a preview of the different solutions below and I'm going to open it up to you guys to see what you prefer. Nos. 1 and 2 use slightly different techniques, where no. 1 has a flat, layered look while no. 2 is a more rounded look.No.3 is an enhanced version of no.2 where I added a black outline after the shading.

[pekische]

The most clear for me is no. 3.

[DerGrenadier]

I would go with either 2 or 3, leaning slightly more towards 3.

[cbelva]

Same as above. I could go with 2 or 3. But 3 does appear a little more defined.

[z1812]

They are all good..........[:D] But number 3 seems to bring out the elevations more clearly.

[Panta_slith]

I rise my hand to vote for #3 as well! [:)]

[Plodder]

Looks like no 3 is the general consensus so far.[:)] I've done a quick revision of the Hamelin map.Here's the NE corner of my original map:

[Plodder]

And here's the revised map. The elevations are a lot clearer now:

Very nice stuff!!

Are the changes downloadable yet?

[Plodder]

Not yet. I have to go through the maps and realign the forests, fields and towns. May take a few days. [:)]

[wodin]

No 2 or No 3 mate.

[Mad Russian]

How do you like playing on them? Any issues that you find?

Good Hunting.

[Plodder]

Play? I'm too busy making maps to play.[:D] l play tested my original map but haven't since. I'd like to hear from anyone else though. Once I've revised the ones I've done so far, the elevations will a lot easier to read.

[Plodder]

I'm uploading the revised versions of Red Storm 5, 6, 9, 12 and 13 as I type this. They will be available from the same links.

[Plodder]

Sorry, I jumped the gun, mediafire played up on me, re uploading them now. should be ready soon...

[wodin]

Any chance you can upload your Maps in one big zip mega pack?

Thanks

[Plodder]

Not while I'm still making them as it's a major pain to re-package and re-upload but I probably will once I've finished.

[Plodder]

Okay, they should be up now with the same links.I downloaded a map and it's the new one so we should be good to go. [:)]
