Some might be interested to know that after a hiatus of nearly 5 years I have been able to come back to the Wilderlands maps and finish what I had started. I have just finished maps 16-18, finally completing the set, and have spent today achieving my original goal - stitching them together to make a complete copy of the whole Wilderlands Campaign Map. :) 156 hexes x 204 hexes - fancy an old-fashioned hex crawl, anyone? The file is up on flickr and in the dropbox folder in my signature - it's 4.12mb for the png. There are no text labels - I still haven't decided whether to add them or not. I have no idea how many people are interested in such a thing, but if you are one of them, enjoy. :) |

Well, Stage 3 in now underway - putting the labels on all 18 maps, as well as the combined map. However, while working on the labels I finally managed to get my hands on a copy of Illustrator CS2 - yes, I know it's years old, but I finally decided it was time to learn how to make vector maps, with a little (a lot of) help from Thorf's mapping files. After a week of sweat, frustration, and almost giving up, I have something that I think is worth showing. So, I have a request. Please look at the two maps I have posted on Dropbox and tell me what you think. One is my old Gimp map with labels - zoom in and you can see the pixels and watch the text blur. The other is my new Illustrator map - I have deliberately tried to copy the style I have used in the other map, the difference being that if you zoom in everything should remain crystal clear. Feedback please. :) |

Have you tried zooming into your new map (in Illustrator, before exporting to .png) and creating blow-up maps of areas? |
