Formatting the maps into 1 with layers
« on: March 04, 2009, 02:52:17 PM »
Hi

I've taken the three current maps, and merged then into one, where each of the old ones are a layer.

But I'd like to take it a step further and start with a map with just the provinces, then add layers that are see-through and only adds realm borders, roads and labels.

The map that is closest to my need is the current road and river map, but does anyone have the map that is based on, without the roads, rivers and impassable terrain?

If my idea gets off the ground, I can even do demographic or terrain colored provinces instead of that nice looking map we got.  :)

The maps you see are generate from a pick of the layers of a .psp file with entirely too many layers...so I wouldn't use too much time merging them. Instead you can request other map combos if you'd like.

Hehe, so I'm fitting layers into a .psp file, that were born by merging layers in a .psp file...

Could I ask for the big thing then? - I really like being able to use it as sort of overlays.

This is interesting.  What program views a PSP file?

Will you put the maps up for download, or can you send them to me by e-mail?  :)
