http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/20071121_AARHE_standard_with_setup.png

Updated "standard" map:
Honululu, Tobruk and Dakar VC added.
Hong Kong VC replaced Shanghai.
Astrakhan VC replaced Almaty.
Gibraltar, Argentina, Peru, New Zealand, China now mountainous.

(AARHE's "standard" map is a map that keeps revised's IPC and unit setup. The only border change is that Baltic Sea can no longer access Western Europe. Information are added to help new players.)

I found a solution to the certain symbols (like IPC icons) in our illustrator file disappearing in PDF and photoshop.

You can "fix" the symbols.
The VCP icons works. But the IPC icons don't.
One difference. The IPC icons have text.

Break link to the symbols.

I'll post 300dpi files shortly.
And we can now use adobe reader to view the .ai files. After those changes.

http://home.exetel.com.au/cometo/20071208_AARHE_standard_with_setup.tif

fixed: Switzerland missing IPC icon

[Imperious Leader]

these links don't work. just blank screen

[tekkyy]

white screen?
its probably the white border
remember its 300dpi so if your browser is not set to auto zoom out...hehe

oh and browers don't tend to load TIFF

regardless, you can do right click and go Save-As

[tekkyy]

by the way I just realise Spain's mountainous terrain was left out hehe

[tekkyy]

further small fixes

fixed: added missing Spain mountainous
fixed: added missing Turkey destroyer
change: increased battleship icon size so its easier to tell part from destroyer

(remember you need to right click and go Save Target As...)

Where is the text for cities? Nations? huh? is this a minimalist interpretation?  Salvador Dali style?

[tekkyy]

I was thinking they won't fit.
They'll come in at a later stage when I decide on size problems for the special edition.

If we go through with the make-pretty update to normal AARHE maps those'll have territory and VC text.

[Imperious Leader]

ok great!
