You know, I kind of like this sketch quality. I'd like to see a map employ something like this.

Nice work Dana.

Dana,

Flank missing 3 neutral start
"Four Star Meats" on map, and "Four Star Logo" in XML...whichever you prefer, they should probably match
The borders are perfect - I don't see any issues there. However, I think the coordinates could use a big improvement. I am looking at them with 888, not 88.

show: Small


show: Large


after these adjustments we are good to go :mrgreen:

To be exact, the map refers to the region as "Four Star Meats Company Logo", as stated on the chalkboard (:

What if the lower left chalkboard said:

4 ā˜† Meats
Logo

I suppose you could do the same with the upper left chalkboard. Not sure if it clarifies anything...
(I hope the star character shows up in what I typed. It should read "4 tar symbol] Meats Logo")

It did for me. I think "Star" would work, unless Dana wants an actual star. Just the one thing is to make sure that it is consistent with naming.

I've updated the XML and moved some of the words around to make more room. I posted them here:
viewtopic.php?f=64&t=163962&p=4144235#p4144235

In case anyone wants to play spot the difference here it is with the neutrals in place.

the chalkboards don't look right.

there seems to be darkness on the right side the actual board (not the external shadow). the left side is clear. why is that?

if the light source creates a shadow to the right of the board then the right side of the actual board would be the clearest and the left would receive some shadow from the wooden frame.

Just waiting to hear on the XML at the moment. I've heard the powers at be are busy, so it may be a while, but it will happen :)

Seems like something screwy happened with fileden, this XML gave me a 404 just like Israel. Dana, can you reupload? I will check it within 24 hours if you can.

I heard it's in a waiting list, they have a few new maps and don't want to release them all at the same time. So who knows :)
