RE: Map of the South Pacific - rhinotaz - 10-23-2015

The 3 mb one? 20k by 10k was it? Tried to use it as the texture for my little globe thing but it almost blew up my computer. Had to downgrade it to 15k by 7.5k.

(Oooh, I get what you mean, Res. I was confused at nothing. Sorry.)


RE: Map of the South Pacific - Kris Kringle - 10-23-2015

Rather than having continents, what I think we need is to enlarge the current ones and make them further apart from each other.

Enlarged current ones, and make a few more to really fill up the map.

Well, for now it is. But we will have to update it eventually, and, sadly, B&N is not as available as he once was.
There is actually another reason why, and probably related to why someone declared me gone a few pages ago.

I know that. Wink In cartography something will always get distorted when you do something. I opted to have a regular latitude-longitude grid. Thus, the distances between two vertical points of the same latitude will be the same. Of course, distance between two horizontal points will vary depending on your latitude.

Those are actually similar reasons why I couldn't get the map so big. Happywide

I never bother either. Those are just a nightmare to do and you get minimal gains for it. My scale adjusted maps are usually under the "neat visusl tool" category.

For the record I have no issue with the map. Perhaps it can be tweaked to fill a bit more, but I have few issues.


RE: Map of the South Pacific - The Solar System Scope - 10-24-2015

I don't like ruining this but can you edit my plot just a little?
-Move Black Umbrella to the other side of the peninsula near the Observatory Isle.
-Add a city between former Black Umbrella and Multicoloured Coat on the base of the mountain a city called Warszawa.
Thank you.

This new map making seems interesting. What are you trying to do?

RE: Map of the South Pacific - UnitedExpanse - 10-30-2015

Do I have the ability to name the rivers that run through my nation? Don't blame me, I'm just slow at getting things :l


RE: Map of the South Pacific - Zak6858 - 10-30-2015

Yes, you're allowed to customise your plot.
