As I wrote, swamps can be distinguished by color and so I did --> you can of course do it differently --> and again the decision --> each person may like something different ... http://www.opengeneral.pl/sympatyk/Bag_1398.jpg For summer classic maps, the drawing of the swamp has been fixed/determine...

Forests are a separate layer and can have any shade (lighter - darker) When it comes to swamps, you can give them a distinctive shade... Generally, I approach winter maps in this way --> winter (especially in the east) = snow (white color) Snow first covers open spaces, swamps, meadows, clearings, a...

sympatyk

The number of layers will change during work --> they can be grouped, merged, but most importantly, signed. And returning to our conversation about converting maps to the winter version, you can determine the features that should be pursued --> e.g. you indicated gray roads You could also specify - ...

sympatyk

If everything is layered --> the work itself needs more time to decide - what setting to choose (several settings seem good) --> then decide whether a little more contrast, color, etc. Since there are no exactly the same maps --> converting each one, it's decisions again (despite using the same proc...

As you wish - it can be grey. Bridges have to be done separately (road) ..

Thank you very much
I'll start work

Of course 100MB is a lot --> you can upload only the layers you need --> forest, cities, roads, railway (map 1065)

For me, the Internet was a big obstacle (I had a portable LTE) - now I signed a contract from March for 400/40Mb fiber

sympatyk

If you decide to share these layers with me as separate png or jpg files - I will be grateful - it will show your maps in winter version --> if you would like to see your other maps as winter - you can do that too --> I just need to develop a new one procedure for Gimp
Of course, as you wish

:howdy It's nice that you will make these maps yourself --> I thought you wanted help ... I don't know if there's a map missing in your campaign - I can't judge that Would I like to make a map?

Okay, so i decided to create 6 new 3K maps for the grand allied campaign. Three maps will be entirely new and 3 will be bigger versions of existing maps.

:howdy Instead of manually finding which icons have an alpha channel - you can subject all of them to an automatic process - removing the alpha channel (whether it is or not) --> you can use batch processing You open IrfanView You press the "B" key on your keyboard http://www.opengeneral.pl/sympatyk...

:howdy This issue was raised a few years back... Tile maps in their idea allow us to play when we do not have a picture, but only the .mapx itself. So what is the problem? --> making mapx in a tiled environment - defeats the purpose --> you should make mapx using the normal method (for example, usin...

sympatyk

Randowe, I agree with you

It was information for Luis
Remember when we talked about maps and Luis wrote

For automatic download, I upload the .jpg file received from mapmaker if available, otherwise I convert the .png file using IrfanView with a 70% compression ratio.

Only that

I don't have Photoshop - that's why I didn't participate in the discussion, but the topic interests me .. A little test I drew in gimp with a red brush... Saved to png - with transparency (alpha channel) --> png1 and without alpha channel --> png2 Everything in 32-bit space --> in png images reduced...

Hi Luis

The file 1569.jpg has more weight than 1569.png ...
It's set to --> JPEG, quality: 85, subsampling ON (2x2), and it should
