Note to self. Don't try to get Torvaks attention by posting in this forum. I'll zip my Version and send it to Arryn for judgement. It's a bugger that I can't post a picture of in here.

The land province borders are virtually invisible, and the water "glows". Can you make the land borders distinct, and tone down and/or darken the water?

O'Boy... This has not been my day. I sent one of the backups to Arryn... And before my tired brain managed to figure that out I was halfway through making a Cirlani with black seas and borders.

Sorry for the mix up. Lesson is: Always doublecheck everything twice.

Don't beat yourself up too much. At least you didn't release a calculator that didn't work correctly, as I did this morning.

Your Version of Torvak's map is now up on my site, ready for downloading.

You can. If you have a webdirectory (most ISPs provide a small one) then you can put it there and put the URL for it here (the http://xxxxxxxxx for it)
There are some free temporary places you can use also

(Yes I know that link doesnt work)

I restored the original Torvak Version of the Cirlani map to my website. I will post Wauthan's Version on my site -- in addition to Torvak's -- when I receive a replacement .tga from Wauthan for the one I accidently deleted. Players can then choose which Version they wish to play with.

I'm hoping that hosting both Versions will encourage Torvak to continue tweaking his. I don't wish to offend either one of them by being placed in the awkward position of my having to decide on only hosting one Version of the map.

Both Versions (Torvak and Wauthan) of the Cirlani map are now up on my site. The Wauthan Version .rar is much larger only because his .tga (which is actually 33% smaller than Torvak's when uncompressed) compresses down to 36% of original size (3:1) while Torvak's compresses down to just 4% of original (an amazing 25:1 ratio).

Hello there,

like to predicate this post by expressing my gratitude: looking long for a nice small map with some water, and was sad that Cirlani up till now seemed just so .... aesthetically suboptimal. You sure fixed that Torvak / Wauthan.

However....

downloaded Wauthan's Version, and didnt get far with my checking. First, it seems that the "neighbors" dont work right, dont work at all, unless my "neighbors" flags are all wrong.

Then I started with C'tis in the middle of the ocean (Province 29), which is labeled "forest". I sort of stopped checking after this because I know too little about computers to realize what could be the problem, sorry.

Havent checked Torvak's original Version yet.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for bursting any otherwise very promising looking bubbles.

Aww nuts! I remade the .map file as well with that edit. The white pixels accidently got pushed out of their place when I "swirled" the water. I'll send it over to Arryn ASAP. Thanks for the quick report Corporal Thinkthank.
