[WIP] Nav Map Make-Over for OM

Nbjackso · 04-05-11, 01:43 AM

A picture is worth 1000 words, + I hate to type.

Note: In picture #3, Messina is an Italian Navel Base. (How COOL is that?)

I still have quite a bit to go, but this is what I am currently working on. I hope there is some interest for something like this, because I personally think the current Nav Map in OM SUCKS. Your input/feedback is welcomed.

Note: City names are currently in English. If you want some/all cities in German, someone will need to provide me with a list. Since I don't know any German.

Looks pretty darn cool!

Fantastic Nbjackso!

Just this evening I was wondering if you had decided to work on the OM map makeover after all and now I see you already started

. This is great news.

I agree about the Italian airbase, it looks bad ass.

I'm willing to help with researching the city names if you'd like. I don't speak german either but I can do the same thing I did for the the sea map labels, i.e. look them up on the interwebs

. Last time I had pretty good luck researching the translations on Wikipedia.de and it was kinda fun.

I checked a few cities at random from your screenshots and all the ones I picked were the same spelling in german. The only one I found that was different is Athens --> Athen. So based on that I'm thinking there shouldn't be that many corrections to make.

Let me know if you need help and I can start working on a list for you.

With your permission, SWM would like to use.

OK, it looks like there is some positive feedback, so I will work to get this released as soon as possible. Truth be told, I've been dreading this project thinking it would be too difficult without knowing any German. Then I stumbled onto etheberge's German map labels mod, and realized he has already completed over half of the work already.

YES, permission granted. There will be documentation in the readme file that states no written permission is needed, so long as you credit myself and the other contributors of the mod.

Thanks, it was fun to do the translation but a real pain to create all the dds files and get them to align properly in game, as you know. If you want to add even more labels it'd be nice too, I think I already forgot half the steps :-)

Nice work, were patient!

So looking forward to this.The nav map in OM seems bugged.When I zoom in an area reads AN15 and when I zoom out it reads AN153 or something like that with overlapping lines that make no sense.Also my mission is to patrol AN15 and the mission marker on the map is nowhere near AN15.So carry on and know that many people are looking forward to your work.

Nbjackso · 04-18-11, 08:58 PM

All,

Thanks for your patients. I have slowly been chipping away at it, and it's starting to look good, (at least to me). I can't promise any release dates at this time, but it shouldn't too much longer. I will try to post a couple update images in the near future.
