Thank you for providing your source files, Chemkid. Very generous of you!

Any chance of the sunny day map layer being available?

New to the editing , so iam plowing through.


Any way to get non-names of any of your non-extended, hex or no hex, individual maps... WPEH00.bmp,WPEN01.bmp etc.?
I been working with the separate bmp parts of the map.

By taking A-"any version of your map" and merging with the B-"stock map", where one map is labeled and the other is not, should produce the desired results.


Or I could blot out the labels, by hand on one of the merged maps... oh please no!

The fusing of the two styles looks nice except for the names. The "softening" of the stock map blends in nice. The bases,units stand out.

Forgive my confusing and thanks again for the help and patience.

Using Gimp I have redone the entire tactical map by merging the individual bmps. I cannot post a pic as it tells me I must have 10 post and then wait a week[:(]

The maps labels dont look too bad, yet need to look better. The main thing is that it's easy on the eyes, yet it's possible to tell the terrain types. It looks nice.

hi!
these are baked down versions for easy layering - the SOURCE FILES are huge and have many, many more layers.
i am very proud of them, you know?! [:D] my babies, right?!


As you should be!

These 'par-baked' files still seem like source files to me after editing text from the final merged layer in raster mode!

What about just typing the link out a la how websites protect email addresses from web crawlers?

Something like: i(dot)imgur(dot)com/c6OkQGf(dot)jpg ?

I don't think it would be a violation of the forum TOS because the purpose of those restrictions is to prevent bots from auto registering and spamming ads.

Here's your images - I resized them to fit better on the forums. Also, you might want to turn the hex borders off to make the merged topography stand out a little more.
