Map creator help

You all round rock! Glad to have you all!

@Navalland OK, so that is your background layer. In brief: On other layers apply an image of a greyscale streetmap to the territory outlines and create some cloud-like effect on the seazone-layer. The territory layer should have a high level of transparency, you need to experiment here. When you are ready merge the territory layer and the seazone layer to one png-file, preserving transparency there. This will be your relief-image. Of course you can apply whatever visual effect you want there. I found this tutorial for creating “clouds”: https://forums.getpaint.net/topic/17972-make-real-clouds/ Maybe something similar exists for GIMP, too. For further details please try to reach out to active map-makers. I can only give you this quite superficial information.

ok, that is a much better description of the problem you are probably putting in the wrong xml link please watch this video: http://www.desura.com/games/triplea/videos/how-to-download-maps

I had that same problem. I solved it by un-installing Triple A and then I installed the newest version of Triple A with the link that included JAVA. Everything worked great then. I hope this helps you!

Thank you!

@Ferrousgryphon Perfect! Enjoy gaming

In fact it was only one border line to change. First I changed it in the bastile map, adding a new line some pixels to the right of the old line in pure black and then erazing the old line. Then I reconstructed the relief-art. In paint.net I added a new layer to the base map pasting the relief art to it. Then I copy-pasted the new border line to the relief art. From the relief art I removed the old border line using the clone-stamp. Then I ran through the Map Builder tools such as polygon grabber etc. to implement the changes to the relevant txt-files. Just take a look at the files to see the results.

BFD=Big F…ing Deal  I agree
