I did start on making all new shipping lane maps for the RSRDC mod. I have bumped into two problems.
1) in order for the maps to be more usefull then what you can do with the line tool your self in the navigation map (put a straight line between the points that are the harbours in question fx. SINGAPORE-LUZON STRAIT-JAPAN) then the maps need to be realy big. Its needed to know what part of Luzon Strait most traffic is going through. So im beginning to opt for NOT making a shipping lane map mod, but rather a mod containing a mapping of Straits, or bottlenecks if you like.
2) Next problem is to get maps of decent resolution and with placenames on. Its a bitch to write in all the needed placenames. Allso its a benefit if the maps are in Mercator projection as the map in SH4 is.
But ill look into making some Strait Map's as those are much more easy to compile.
Currently im using this site to compile maps.
