Default Re: New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

On the white pixels on this map: I've marked them all into the targa file with a four-point star shape, i.e. the province pixels are surrounded above, below and on both sides by pixels that are significantly darker than the surrounding ones if the background is light. In forest and many mountain provinces this was not necessary as the surrounding pixels were so dark that the white pixel stood out on its own. Just so everyone who has a mind to modify the map knows.


In other news, the first bug found on this map after upload was a neighbor problem that I discovered today while using it for test purposes on another project of mine.

The provinces 119 and 144 should be neighbors, but apparently when I changed the name of province 119 at one point in the editing process (I remember doing it), it nixed the neighbor connection.

No use updating the map file on the server yet, so just add the line
Quote:
#neighbor 119 144
into the section where neighbors are assigned to fix it.

Post any other bugs you find in the map file in this thread and I'll fix them as they crop up. After we've got a few, we can update it to Gandalf's server.

I'll get to work on the smaller (as in fewer provinces) Faerun map next week, so the fans of smaller maps can also get a Version more to their liking.
