AARHE: Map files

Yeah some of the files were
“saved withot PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the “Create PDF Compatible File” option turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adboe Illustratof ile using the Save As command.”
Can you fix that Imperious?
-
I allways have this turned on.

I don’t understand adobe :? -
the TP (transport plane) is missing on the dog fight battle board. should be at 1 defense. The JET fig is missing on the ground board, and the JET Bomber is missing on both. well also missing on the navy sheet.
We still haven’t setup Mechanized infantry??? While the Halftrack piece is on the ground attack board. I think we should have this as an optional piece.
Mech. Infantry Move 2, Attack 2, Defend 2, May blitz with tank. Give ART a plus 1 movement modifier. ??
I had already made comments on the DIV missing on the Ground combat board.
Maybe minor issues, but still :-P

Right! we don’t need that many… :wink:
-
can we change the topic name from
“Map file for AARHE”
to
“AARHE: Maps and player aids” ?so its compliant to other topic names.
You might even consider stickying it next to the already sticky “release” topic…once we get things sort of sorted.
-
Tekky i have updated all the files sake the national player aids. In each case i have made final changes. These are to official current files. The setups are accurate as per OOB.
-
which of the files?
can you put a date next to each URL :wink:(I’ll just redownload them all for now)
-
In every case each file has been slightly modified.
-
wouldn’t it be nice to date it like our other file-releasing thread…
so its all looking good, just the player aids and tech/neutral aid left to do
looking at dates from the .ai file

I changes the neutral/tech PA.
I guess i still need to do the setup sheets ….AGAIN…Ill add the script from the ruleset.
Also an additional player aid will have to be made…but this will keep track of IPC, buys, bid amount, and victory cities for each player. It will go about 6 turns deep.
man i feel like an assembly line of graphic charts…

@Imperious:

:-D see what you mean…

@Imperious:
I changes the neutral/tech PA.
I am thinking would be tidier…
*progress boxes @ top left
*neutral position @ top right
*data tables @ buttom
Also gotta…
*recopy the latest data tables
*straighten the tech/neutral boxes -
“*recopy the latest data tables”
has something been changed?
-
yeah a couple of words in the table
eg.
research progress table, “starts at” and “starts with”….all changed to “starts at”
(standardised)neutral position table, “Neutral fully committed to” all changed to “Fully committed to”
(now “neutral” only appears in the middle, not as confusing)I guess I’ll upload another file again
(upload a new file every week or two) -
yea working on it.
-
I still have the problem of income numbers not showing in
*pdf by Illustrator
*jpg by Photoshopin pdf if when I zoom in and out I see the income numbers briefly
your older releases (Nov?) were jpg in a pdf
how did you generate that file?can you check if you can still generate jpg with income numbers intact?
-
I can no longer make copies of the maps in PDF. use only the AI extension. The PDF does not handle memory intensive files very well. Its primarily for text.
PDF basically sucks!
The Jpegs are increasingly poor quality as the map file got larger because the conversion borders on memory limits.
Use the latest files. They work
