Rcduggan's Victoria Map

[unmerged(61606)]

This was inspired by Thrashing Mad's Eu3 province map.... using my 1337 Photoshop skills, I have created a similar map for Victoria.

Presenting: RCDUGGAN's VICTORIA PROVINCE MAP

The Awesome map

Looks accurate. I used it to create imaginary states and things in paint, honestly.

Well.... we already had such a map, but this one is definitely a bit different.

Now if you make a resource map for with this, that would be pretty slick!

Something that could be added to http://www.paradoxian.org/vickywiki/index.php/Maps perhaps?

the purpose of this map was to be like Thrashing Mad's Eu3 map, but for victoria....

and I have the next version done.. if my desktop computer doesn't explode, i will put it up soon

If you can make the borders very clear I have a utility I have been working on which takes in country names and colors, parses a victoria file for the territories controlled by those nations and then paints the country's respective color (using a scanline fill) in on a map onto the respective regions the country controls.

The issue I was having with Kaigon's map is that alot of the time the borders had little gaps in them or they weren't well differentiated enough from the background, resulting in the program sometimes filling in neighboring provinces.

If you can make the borders really nice and bolded I would be happy to distribute this utility to all (to save us all time and effort in painting provinces).

how far are you with that program? (and I must admit I didn't understand half of it.. o )

still sounds intersting though

I have finished writing it if I remember correctly.

Well the purpose of the program is to automatically paint in countries borders onto a map. With a final result that looks like this:

Except without doing any actual work =).

that program is a GODSEND!

two things:

can I have it?

and can you change the colors it paints with?

 

[unmerged(51214)]

Yes and Yes =).

Can you provide a png version of your map. Dont use jpeg. Jpeg loses data everytime you save it.
