it only becomes final forged when the xml is done and you have a tiny and small map

Don't you mean a large and small map?

I guess so - either way this conversation is fairly meaningless...

Large and Small are both done... XML is on the way... lets reconvene when the XML is finished...

We now have "completed" XML for Malta... Rubben is going to upload it shortly with images of the co-ordinates... please provide any input as to whether or not the co-ords are any good... I've done them by eye and TnE... so it's more than likely that some will need changing...

Also once the XML is uploaded it can be ran through the Border checker... I don't think I cocked any up but there was twice where I realised I'd centred the number into the wrong hole - so I may have missed that too!!!

Okay thanks for the XML Yeti.

Here is the latest version of the map v4.20 large. I must still work on the small version which I will be posting later. Any comments and feedback would be appreciated.

I really can't see any issues with this map at the moment. I'll wait for the small version to comment properly, but it looks allg ood to me. Been a long while in development

Hi Wisse,

I'm massively busy at work at the moment I'm afraid - and I'm on holiday this weekend...

To be honest the Co-ords are much easier for the GFX guy to do - it's merely a case of getting the right co-ords and then adjusting them in...

I'd more than gladly help with sorting out logic problems and debugging errors.

I saw that Coleman likes XML... although he may be like me and enjoy the logic more than the Co-Ords?

ok mayby you can help me a better way,
i thought it worked this way:
make all cordinates with photoshop right and add all the same number to the cords to fit them right, but they are all more and more away from the right cords

i mean the first is like 10 away the secend 20 etc.

Thanks mate. Actually I think that most of the newer maps look much better than mine graphically but I guess this is my limit at the moment with the skills I possess.

dont be so modest about your work, its looks great

KEYOGI · Post by **KEYOGI** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:36 pm

This is a beautiful map Ruben, and I've been looking forward to playing it for a long time now. As usual, there's always room for improvement though.

While I like the texture, I'm not too keen on it across the whole map. Perhaps try a different texture for the water or the land, or even just making it more subtle in one of these areas.

The borders are a bit pixelated in places and probably a little too thin. Try playing around with your settings and see what you can come up with. Some borders could probably be adjusted to give your army shadows some more room. While up in Nofsinhar ta' Ghawdex, I'd consider mixing up the placement of your army shadows and territory names to see if you can get them to fit a little better.

You could probably use an extra hill on the East end of the Cottonera/Marsaskala border and an extra mountain in the middle of the group on the Xaghra/Nadur border.

Looking great though, keep up the good work.

Thanks Keyogi. I will be working on these issues and trying to refine the map in the coming days.

Yes I will have to go through all the coordinates again and adjust them a bit. I think there are others that need to be adjusted as well.

At the moment I am a bit busy with some personal stuff, however I will address the coordinates issue in my next update as well as the other graphic issues.

I can't wait to play on this map. Please make it become one of the maps that can be used.

And so on and so forth. We all want to play on the new map!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
