Editing Image work needed.

[Cohen]

I want to create a map .. I've the TGA file, but it's resolution is too small, and I want a bigger map, of at least 200 provinces.

There's someone that would be so glad to modify the map resoltion without lessening its beauty for me?

Hmmm enlarging an image means that where there was a green dot, you now have a green box. There are various tools that will scatter the pixels abit and then smooth them out but you might lose some of the clarity of the map.

You could just edit the #defaultmapzoom directive: Dominions II will then automatically magnify the map for you so that the castle icons are bigger or smaller, depending on your tastes. It's impossible to "enlarge" really anyway, since that would involve having to create fictitious data to fill in the problem of "large pixels"...which will just make the map look more like mud instead. This is not really an improvement.

You could enlarge the map, and then go in by hand to restore (recreate) the detail that was lost.

Not where my skills happen to lie, but many others have talents such as these.

Actually there is some remarkably good software for enlarging low-res images to higher res with often very good results, which I happen to have access to. I'd be happy to see what it can do with your map.

The file is too big to be sent via email.
Have you any PtP software like IRC or Icq where we can meet and I can send you the file?
