MAP!

[leandrojas_]

I see. That was why he said it. Hehehe.
I thought it looked weird and wanted me to change it. Anyway now I'm making a map 20 times bigger than this. I have just begun. When I finished the map will show you the result. At the moment an image: (first post).

Sweet jesus, that's massive! (That's what she said)

No offence mate, but that's a bit extreme. I think cutting out the Sahara desert is a must, since it's inhospitable. Good map skills, looks amazing.

20 times? Surely you overstate, but by how much. there's also limits to the map size and such.


I think the ideal map for the mod would be something like this:

its a tilted map which knocks out alot of the sahara, northern europe, and includes more of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Armenia.

 

[leandrojas_]

If twenty times. But the map you show there is the map finished. That now I'm working on is twenty times larger. (Still not finished)


This is the current map: (Already completed)




This is an example of how big will the new map. Here is a small sample of as work progresses:


or here: http://www.subirimagenes.com/imagen-newcompcalrawb-5113855.html

Maybe you do not see clearly but there, in the midst of all, are the cities of calradia.

Sorry if I do so wrong to express.
My English is not very good.

 

[ealabor]

have you tried starting up the game with that new map? Curious if it will start up.

I guess if you didnt make the poly density too much it should.

 

[leandrojas_]

Then do not work?
I'll fix it as soon as possible ... is strange to me works fine ...
The map takes a long time to boot. Not much but delay. But to me it works well ...
I know the reason for this:
Map.txt file. It contains approximately 800,000 lines. This is why I did it with the editor of Thorgrim. That is not optimized in this field.
So that takes less to load the map would have to compress the lines.
I do not think I explained well. So, an example will be better:

So is the current map (simple example):
1     
2     
3     
4     
5     
6     
7     
8     
9     
10     
...       

So that takes less to load the map would have to be so:
1      2      3      4      5      6      7      8      9      10      ...     



I hope I explained well. The map works for me, slow to load but it works in the game.

 

[ealabor]

um...

No, I was asking if the new one would start up, im not saying it didnt.

 

[Aenima]

um...

No, I was asking if the new one would start up, im not saying it didnt.

Question answered in that case I guess, although he mentions it's a bit slow to load.

Still, never hurts learning something new....even if you didn't ask for it...I suppose.....

 

[leandrojas_]

I see, I was confused. Effects of sleep deprivation.
If I tried the new map. It has double the polygons that old but loads and runs properly. Although I have not tested as it should. Although not finished I play a fifty-day trial.
If this would not work will have been in vain. If it is having problems.



P/D: My English is bad... I must improve.

 

[SPQR]

yea.. the previous one would slow the game to a halt..

I will try the new one when it is ready for DL.

Good work btw.

 

[ealabor]

Alright im deciding to go with this map.

i've refined it by chopping off unused area, thereby eliminating alot of vertices which should save time on loading.

I always wanted to put mesopotamia in, and with this it will be so.

This also means Armenia in, and area north of that which could make for a few future factions including armenia, and some sort of other Scythian/ Aryan horseman faction north of them, which would be separate from Sarmatia and Scythia Minor.

I may end up chopping off N of map a bit as well.

 

[ealabor]

er.. this map is actually smaller scale wise. Just more polygon density.

You interested in making a custom map for the mod?  I could use something inbetween

(hopefully that translates)

 

[Aenima]

That looks great. Like an extended north version of the original RTW map.

 

[SPQR]

ya map is pretty insane.. hopefully most computers can handle it.

 

[Blackfish]

Though I would have liked it better if it still stretched to India (Baktria ftw), SWEET! 

 

[leandrojas_]

Maybe you need this:

It is the section you need. And bigger.
Tell me if you need something else.

*SPQR
This map had thought it for you.
I hope you will not be a nuisance that I share here with everyone.
Anyway when I finish my new map (the biggest) will share with you.*


This is the same map (first post)
But much bigger. Well I think two times bigger:

lol..

Leandrojas,

You do some amazing work..

A wonderful contribution for both the community and the Hegemony mod.  thank you.

 

[Tercero]

For some reason, i will be skeptic with huge-ass big maps as my pc sucks..

 

[leandrojas_]

I also think that. But I am using some unconventional methods. But it is slow ... very slow. It takes me a long time.

 

[Almalexia]

Which is a pity, because I find bigger maps more enjoyable.
