new maps - where to upload ?

[Bowlingballhead]

Eef. Ow. Ugh. Finally does my own test map work! Here is the crucial detail that was not in the instructions, so that others who are trying and failing can craft their own:

Do not use pure white anywhere on your map. One pixel of pure white marks the center of each province, and defines that province's existence.

Also, the 'new map' function just doesn't work. It doesn't even work with the computer's own maps. Forget it. Take one of the computer's .map files, cut out everything but the barest bones (switching names so that it will fit your map) and use the 'load map' to fill in the details.

I don't know what's going on with the upload facility here on the Shrapnel Boards, other than it is broken until the bugged upgrade is replaced by something better developed. When it is back up, there should be support for uploading maps here. I have no idea when they'll be able to get the new boardware in place though, or even if they've decided on which direction to go with it.

Why dont you get maps from the web? Or is that illegal?

I found some maps that would work, it had a large scale, there were cities already drawn and a white dot in the middle of each castle, actually the dots were a little more yellow than white so i had to put a dot in each castle, but there was about 200 provinces, so i said to myself... forget it.(yep, one sentance... this year anything goes)

Hello!

We're back. Your maps can be put on the Illwinter site now, if you want. Just send them over.
