I was just wondering if it was a glitch or done on purpose. As long as no one else minds, and doesn't create any problems for folks whom English isn't their first language, then its fine.

Thanks everyone,

I think I got everything. Here is a small and large version of the map, with and without numbers.
I know I'm not supposed to do this until after I receive a graphics sticker but I've also completed a XML code that has no obvious errors in it.
Should I upload it?

With numbers:

Let me know what you all think? Have i earned a graphics sticker?

You can't upload the file in this forum (only when its moved to Final Forge), but you can PM the link to me if you want to and I can take a look at it.

dana, I am going to ask for one last little crop. The top part of the frame is thinner than the sides or bottom. Can you crop the image down so they are all the same size. You will just need to move your 3 chalk boards in a tad.

Apart from that, post both sizes of map with 888s and the 3 colour blind tests. (These need to go into the first post as well).

Dana, a few things.

1 - The top left blackboard is not in the same perspective as the other two. You can see the inside of the right side of the frame, while on the other two you can see the bottom inside of the top part of the frame. These need to be viewed from the same perspective.
2 - The title I like, old west style while the rest of the map does say old west to me. Plus since I get the feeling of the old west, you can probably do away with the blackboard frames.
3 - The dividing lines on the blackboards, they look like they could be painted on. My suggestion would be to make them look like they are hand drawn on in chalk.
4 - This is just my personal opinion, the blackboards could use some chalk smudges like someone took a chalk eraser and erased the previous writing. Dirty up the blackboard a bit, not too much or else the text will be unreadable

Thanks for the comments, I did them all except for removing the frame on the chalkboards because I tried it and didn't like it.

If this gets approved I'm guessing I'll need to send a clean version of the map?

What's next?

Thanks Nolefan,
I've had to crop the image more so my XML is going to need to be adjusted a bit. When and if the graphics get approved I'll adjust the XML file and PM it to you so you can have a look.

Best Wishes,
Dana

I think we better throw out those last colorblind images. The meat looks brown and rancid!

Keep up the good work, looking forward to this.

Less appealing maps than this have passed the graphics stage.

Can we move on now? I want to play this map already..

Small matter here, but I think you forgot to put the troops on the Company Logo itself.

My more pressing question is: is the Special Offer sticker supposed to border the Company Logo? Because you state that territories with the star on it border the Company Logo, and the Special Offer sticker happens to have 2 of those stars. It might be misleading if you don't mean for them to be connected (which as of now, I assume is the case).

dana, can you put 888s onto both maps so I can see the sizing issues is any arise. Remember, the centering of the numbers is between the first two. Thanks.

Well spotted and good point. I'll remove the stars.

Not sure I understand. I put 888's on both maps.
I take it you want them to be color ones? On the small version are the numbers supposed to be the same size as they are on the large version?

Will you need another color blind version too?

Best Wishes,
Dana

I know the 88's for the small map need to be the same size as the ones on the large, but I'm also wondering about the need for the colored ones for my map if you already have them but in white.

by **koontz1973** on Tue Nov 13, 2012 10:35 am

The coloured numbers are needed to see if an issues with colours blending together arise. And yes, for both maps, the numbers are the same size. We need to see if a problem will arise with the 888s on. The ones I gave you are the site ones and are the size for the maps we play on.
