Map problems

First one I have question on... [IMG]http://i68.tinypic.com/2usbm6g.jpg[/IMG] For me Brunei* looks to be part of Sabah and Sarawak and is not "independent", same as Timor-Leste* looks like it belongs to all of the rest of green. Plus the * on their names does not match the names on the mini-map. If they belong to those regions they should not be called independent cause they belong to a group of territories that make up a region. How about just changing the wording [b][i]"Extra +2 for holding all three states"[/i][/b]

Thanks thorpe. Psymon helped me a with my first map, especially the bonus part and trying to keep things according to geography/accuracy. Brunei, Singapore & Timor-Leste are independent states, but they belong to other regions on this map also. I can see how independent wording can be a confusion. psymon may have the final source file, i've had a few hard drive crashes since lol, but I have made an edit attempt for the feedback, if the cartography team thinks it needs to be addressed.

A few other mentions i might as well post on this thread. [b]Australasia[/b] [i]grammar[/i] bugs me. I still don't know where the apostrophe goes "+1 Bonus for owning both Papuas' anyone know?

Check game 846662 i think this has been mentioned before but thorpe was inactive at time, and no source file.

The normal territory circles already have a shadow, but the capital haven't.

I do not have the source file on any maps ...different CPU

[spoiler][IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/sc7rif.jpg[/IMG][/spoiler] Here is another map that has a problem with 4 Player Caps. If I had taken the whole region in the "Northwest" region I still have two ways out from my cap and the rest have only one way if they take thiers.

I think the only solve for that would be to make the DKK cap be on ZF and the West Coast cap be on Overberg (to keep spacing and only provide one exit each.

[b]Before I continue[/b]: I don't like the maps all being fixed from flat versions. If a map gets a few amendments and something happens to the images on the site, we will not have the changes on the Source File and would have to redo them all (if we remember what they were). [b]All map makers must send a copy of the final source file to Fendi when a map goes live.[/b] This way, there is always a copy of the source file when a map or map maker / author is not available. [b]East Indies[/b] The fix is fine, you can overwrite this one Hood. [b]Australasia[/b] An Apostrophe is normally used on an "s" to state "[b]belonging to[/b]" and goes before the "s", unless the word is already plural or it's a name ending in "s", then the apostrophe goes after the "s" (e.g. Peter Jenkins' new car.... I have filled the dogs' bowls) , but I think in this case it's the Plural of the two Papua territories, so [b]it doesn't even need an apostrophe[/b]. [b]Eastern Asia[/b] Yes, it should be fixed, but because both pntbttr and Leedog are no longer active here, I doubt we'll get the source file there. Perhaps Fendi has a copy? I'll ask. [b]Westeros[/b] If there is no source at all, as Thorpe has stated, then the site (flat image) becomes the master, so we can put a temp fix on this by spraying some darker white around circle placement to show up the Cap circle. [b]South Africa[/b] I am all for fairness, so if we move the northern 4p Cap to stop it from exiting 2 ways (reducing chances of being blocked), we now make it easier to kill the western 4p Cap.... it's a compromise and I suggest we leave it as it is.

[quote=aeronautic]a temp fix on this by spraying some darker white around circle placement to show up the Cap circle.[/quote] Maybe it's better to change the capital circle image by giving it a small shadow instead?

[quote=aeronautic][b]All map makers must send a copy of the final source file to Fendi when a map goes live.[/b][/quote] Does this then mean the source files are stored with the site files? Just wanted to make sure that they aren't now stored at a single point of failure...

They are not stored on the web server as far as I am aware.

I know Vexer has some of my maps or did

[quote]Does this then mean the source files are stored with the site files? Just wanted to make sure that they aren't now stored at a single point of failure...[/quote] They are held on our personal computers and external hard drives. [quote]Maybe it's better to change the capital circle image by giving it a small shadow instead?[/quote] Yes, the other way would only be a temp fix. Rather than mess with the image, it's probably better to wait for you guys to do it.

aero, would you be able to update the capitals image to have a shadow? We can replace it easily.

i gave it a go. it was harder than i thought because the existing ones have shadows already. plus the sprite thing doesn't leave much space to add more pixel space for outer shadow. unless aero has the original circle layers, without shadows, it might be a painful task., but aero might know a better way. i started from scratch [spoiler] [img]http://oi65.tinypic.com/1564wgk.jpg[/img] [spoiler=original] [img]https://dominating12.com/assets/img/territories/caps-large.png[/img][/spoiler] [/spoiler]
