Ill do that if you guys want me to. Image will be up in a few days.

I think you should make the large version like the small one. Its looks much better now. =)wcaclimbing wrote:I've redone all of the desert territory names. Giving Zimmah tons of room to work with.
And they are in a newer font that is much easier to read. and the font is a bit smaller at the same time. So lots of room for army numbers on the small version.
no updates to the large version. Large is finished.
So, here it is. I hope it gives Zimmah enough room to work with.
When you put the army numbers on, could you put them down lower than you had them?
From the little I know about Jota's XML coordinate thing, I think you'll have to enter the small coordinates seperately, and not use the scalable setting to make small and large at the same time (I think. Since the small image is now fairly different from the large, small will need different coordinates.)
I hope that works for you. Good luck.
when you finish it, could you just quickly check to see if there are any that still overlap the names? No need to post the image if there are flaws in it. you could easily fix any issues and wait and post it until all the numbers fit.
EDIT: for the visuals, do you think that the font on the large version should be the same grey color I just used on the small? Or does the large look ok. it'd be an easy change. just a quick change of the layer setting.
With the same font on both? Or just the grey text instead of tan?Androidz wrote: I think you should make the large version like the small one. Its looks much better now. =)

I would go with Zeak suggestion, make the than darker in the bigger version. but i think the small is good as it is now.wcaclimbing wrote:With the same font on both?

I could, but it'd mean I'd have to learn how to work the XML coordinate tool thing.InkL0sed wrote:Can't you do it yourself...?

It's not that hard. The top left corner is (0, 0) and the bottom right is (xmax, ymax). Using that, you can mess around with the misplaced coords in the XML file by moving each a few pixels left/right/up/down until it's good, and then test it in the XML centering tester (clicky). Slow, a tiny bit tedious, but if I've found (in my limited experience) that even Jota's map assistant gives coordinates that need to be tweaked a bit.wcaclimbing wrote:I could, but it'd mean I'd have to learn how to work the XML coordinate tool thing.InkL0sed wrote:Can't you do it yourself...?
I've never even attempted anything with XML.
if zimmah doesn't show up soon, I might try it myself.
