NES World/Regional Maps Requests Thread

I agree with NK. MSP is the way to go. It's clean, simple, and countless others will be able to help you if you ever face any difficulties with it. On a different note, about those maps of yours, NK?

I'm afraid those are only availible upon request; sorry.

 

[Luckymoose]

What?



And lo, the mapmaker said, "save early and often, and thus you can use your backup copy."



Unless you can telepathically connect to photoshop in order to get the color you want, I doubt it. It's incredibly easy to do on paint.



Same on paint.

Well I like photoshop because its tools are smoother. And yes the colors are easier to get to. You don't have to go into a entire different menu to get a color thing ot come up to replace yoru colors. You can simply select them with a cursor type thing in a large paint bucket. With shades of every color.

Also I do beleive i requested a map like a month ago. Never go word back on that. :"(

I am trying to do a world map for 1500 AD. I started with Sheep's and have been erasing cities and reducing the number of countries. Paint seems to be working fine so far.

Yes you did. I said I was working on it. Slowly.

Photoshop, however, has different handling properties when compared to Paint. The brushes are made up of smaller elements, and unless you specifically chose Index Color in the Edit>mode> option, your colors will have soft edges, which looks quite bad when compared to the hard edges of paint's brushes.

Paint all the way. As long as you have the basic world map, maps are easy. Drawing single pixel lines and using the fill bucket is all that you really need. I see no use for the fancy stuff in photoshop.

I had a cool map idea! Tak the world, then twist it 90 degrees so that the poles are at the equator. I'll have to do that sometime, if no one else feels like it.

I'll do it now. Well just to see how it looks.

Hmm, now if you could warp it so that it's the same shape as it formerly was, then reapply the climate zones... Quite an intersting thought.

 

[Silver Steak]

Maybe you could just shrink/stretch it?

EDIT: Nevermind. I tried, but the sorry result is too ugly to even be posted here. What you'd need is a world map projected with the Meridian as Equator. Which effectively means an entirely new world map. Might as well make a random one, as it would take less time.

You mean like this?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Awesome TBR!

That would make for an interesting random map.

 

[TheBladeRoden]

This is where I made it BTW

[Lord_Iggy]

Merci beaucoup!

 

[Swissempire]

Artic Mexico, woop woop!

And the Arctic Ocean as a greater Mediterranean. Alaska in particular seems promising.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

That would indeed make an extremely interesting NES.

Flipped world is kind of interesting, though I don't really see how it's "random" ... you can easily extrpolate where things will be given knowledge of the real world. It's also horribly distorted, but eh, interesting nonetheless.

For those who are curious, both the "Jason/North King" and "Disenfranchised" (I don't like attaching my name to it as the version now in use is actually a wholly different base from what I came up with) maps both approximate Robinson projections.

Now, what it's really all about is Dymaxion maps...

If you want random maps there's always terragen and worldbuilder
