Hi Hunters,
How to download your map? How to install? Best Regards UBOAT234 |
Hi Hunters,

That's a way of doing it, but I expected (even if yours is nice) a more "oldie" style writing of the names : written in light brown or light grey, following the bodies of water they define, with a nice text font...
|
Oh, and I forgot : eventually in german :p

Beery
this is the smallest fonts psossible to make it so that it is readable. I use there MS Serif 6 Regular. Smaller isn`t possible i think.... http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/2...34486256ax.jpg But it works, and i also wrote inside the Isle: Island You are right, it is really hard to find those things on German Text :D Have an old but good Atlas from School here..... good stuff inside. |
That looks great! :up:
This will be a great help for those of us who keep written logs or who write after action reports. Great job FLB sale U-999!!! I have a couple of suggestions: How about having the Daenemark Strasse text be angled a little to follow the flow of the waterway. It's fine as it is, but I think it would look nice the way you did it in your last version. The Dogger Bank text is a little way South and East of where the actual bank is. Perhaps you feel it would look too busy if it was too close to the 'AN' mark? Sorry to be so demanding, but I think this is going to be one of those things that everyone will appreciate. Fortunately the remaining text is not so difficult, as there's plenty of room (except perhaps in the Mediterranean). |
For The missions i m curently working on for HT i would like to have the Bäreninsel in north of the North Kap Ger Nord Kap ( Most northern Part of Sweden) and the Lofoten which is the round island a bit in the west south west region of the Bäreninsel which is the small long island just south of Spitzbergen. Would be really nice if u can do that too.

Great work! I'm really waiting for this mod :up:

@ Beery
nice that it is something u meaned.... :) No! that``´s just a test i made for you that u see how it looks like.... I will place the names at the best and right Positions... no prob! Yeah i now, i will do the names alittle bit curvy (circled)... Don´t know the english word, but i now what you mean.... Working on it. I make one version for you. One Version with Convoyroutes inside for Rubini! I have tested the convoyroutesmap.... it is a lot of text shown in the map now.... Maybe too much... we will see. Still working on it. Greetings Sale |
@FLB
Can you please add me on the same list as Rubini :()1: |

Alright Beery.....and maybe someone else who like the names....
1. Problem (not soo much serius....): No way with that font to go smaller or to screew it, because it is too pixelig and u can`t read one letter in the Map. but it is not soo tragic, u will see. I Hope :) 2. Hard to get all the Words in the names because of really small place (f. Ex.: mediterrainsea, u will see it too) That`s all for first. I have made now 2 Versions: One with Seanames inside like on the Screenes u can see, and one without Seanames...(they are just a few). So u can decide which one u prefer, but please test both and give feedback..... what a lot of work :D I will work the Indian Ocean and maybe Pacific out..... Have to see if it is possible to add all that into the Konvoymap, because there will be too much written and painted inside so that u won`t be able to read anything.... Have to see it. Working also on Rubinis Map! Screenshots from the Map in the 3 Zoomlevel, because it is only readable in that Zoomlevel (the small Letters from Positions etc.) http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8...28511098rc.jpg http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7...28572503aq.jpg http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/9...92954687ts.jpg http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/9...29115001my.jpg http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8...92918933tm.jpg Ok, if u would like to test what u see, here to Donwload: Just activate with ME or copy into the responsible Folders: http://rapidshare.de/files/6705529/Desktop.rar.html Please don`t be angry if the written Text is not so sharp, but i am not able to get it much sharper! I have used MF Serif Font 6 without ! Smaller isn`t possible in the RAW! But i think for that we can make a lot with those RAWs in PHP! :) Greetings Sale |
That looks beautiful!!!
Great work. Can't wait to give this a try in game, so I'm downloading now. |
Figured out how to edit the big 20,000 x 10,800 pixel map...
|
Hi sheppard!
How to edit? It`s the same like the smaller one!? Or do you have a special Proggie for that? Tell me what u mean with figured out how to..... :) It`s not the problem to edit the big one, so u could write small Fonts and so... but it is visible in much more zooms! What do you mean with that? Will try to build all the text in your Konvoyroutemap.... But will be very hard work, because of space and readebility of the Text.... it`s too much inside then i think... but we will see.... but around the Map is soooo lot of space we could use. Rubini is right with the suggest to build there things like Convoydates inside...... :) Sale |

I have two questions/suggestions: 1. Is there any way to add text using antialiasing? I can in Photoshop, but I'm not sure it's supported in other programs. Antialiasing would tend to make the words appear clearer even using the smallest fonts. I don't think it's completely necessary in this case, since we don't get to zoom in to the level where it appears obvious that the text is pixellated, but it may be something to consider on similar projects. 2. Regarding Dogger Bank and the Neufoundland Grand Banks (and other names where the text is placed on shallow (lighter blue) sea areas, could we see the text altered a bit so that it has a blue-white base rather than a yellow one? The yellowish tinge makes these names look a little too much like land. Alternatively, if an even lighter blue looks wrong, since these names are wholly on light coloured sea areas, perhaps making these names the colour of the darker sea areas might be a good compromise. These are very minor issues. All-in-all this is a fantastic job. Well done! |
FLB,
Please don't forget to do this in the map with convoy routes too! :up: Rubini. |
Ok!
That`s the big problem for me, too! I can`t get it sharper or smoother! no way in that Fontsize. It is the smallest i can use that u can read the letters! Let me explain with pictures: This is my PHP and the opened Map where i can ONLY edit the alphachannels: you see the Zoomfactor is 100%... http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8...t1kopie6pj.jpg This is at Zoomedin 400% and written Text with MF Serif Font 6 without any smoothers.... You see it is readable. It is at the maximum visibility in this picture and at the smallest Font! (I have tested all Fonts but this is the onlyone which is working!) http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4...t2kopie1ca.jpg Here i have all the same (Fontadjustement) but only set to SHARP! (Antialiasing u meaned....) but u see that it apears away and is very small and UNREADABLE!!! So, get smoother or sharper will not work, because it disappears completely and is unreadable because it is too PIXELIG! http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/2...t3kopie6dg.jpg Now u can see the effect which cames, when i am trying to screew it, like u meaned (I would like it very much if i could it so...) a little bit like u meaned with ,,DÄNEMARK STREET"! U see it becames unsharp, unreadable! Because of the Pixels... http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6...t4kopie1tt.jpg The same if i try to set the font smaller! (All the Text is written with value 6) U see that it is small... but unreadable! U can`t read any letter.... that`s my big problem, too! http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6...t5kopie6xd.jpg Belive me, i would like to make the Text more smoother or beautivuller, but it won`t work! because i must work with the smallest Fonts! The MS Serif is the only Font where it is readable. If i change the Font, it is soo bigger and Pixelig that u can`t read anything....and believe me, i have testet maybe all Possible fonts that i have on my PC :D Ok, the other things should be just testing.... Will try to get a better colour for DOGGER BANK and so on.... I don`t like it, too now. Will also add some more Seanames inside like the version before.... All in one, i am still working on it! :up: We could also add some more Text like the names of Rockall, Hebriden etc.... so if u have more ideas, tell me. This mod isn`t finished! :) Oh, u like the Font....!? I postet it here before... You can download the package here: http://rapidshare.de/files/6575881/FontsWWII.ace.html Just unzip and copy all to your c:\Windows\Fonts Folder! There are 7 beautiful Fonts from WWII like the Luftwaffe had, or Marine.... test it. Ok, keeping on working on it! but nice that u like it, thanks for compliments :D Best wishes Sale |
Ah, I see now. It's probably because the text would need to be both bigger and have more of a contrast with the background in order for antialising to work.
As I said it's no problem because the text is nice and readable without it. You have done a great job. |
Alright....
Corrected colour on Neufundland Bank, Celtic Shelf, St.-lorenz Golf and Jeffrey Bank..... just dogger Bank needs a little bit overwork.... :) http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/8...52184533om.jpg Will start to make on this Map the convoyroutes......... Testing this week a little bit more.... :D Sale |
