Roextended 4.5 [1.53 only]

[Narzew]

I think if you can make custom signs you should make them. Cause changing Scs signs you are not protected. They can do with them whatever they want in future updates.

Look at Promods map for example.

What about copying that sign base with a prefix?
It will add just little MB's to your work, but will protect you from similar SCS behaviour. It's like:

Code: Select all

sign_base => Original SCS
roex_sign_base => Your Sign Base (identical to SCS one).

Sorry if I'm wrong, I have very little experience dealing with Map Editor, but from my experience in software development, preffixing have saved a lot of work when something was changed globally and I have used a lot of refferences to it.

Developers of the EAA map have similar problem. They decided to rely on community on correcting signs. That means, they won't correct sign if they don't encounter them (they do not search for errors) and rely on community informations about broken/wrong signs. This way they could continue mapping without much interruptions. What about creating a topic about errors found in RoEX to make that silly but necessary "bug fixing" work easier?

Oh, I can see your point, the thought is pretty smart. As for my own project, the Swedish Islands Map, I've solely used SCS
resources, but am now trying to create my own sign templates, not to be that dependent on what SCS is doing. Arayas will
probably have some words to say regarding your solution, when he's back on track again.

The fix for swedish templates it's in ROEXdefmap V2 also available on the site. Replace the original.
Due the amount of work needed to fix this, the 2.1 version for 1.35 it will have to live with that, i dont have the nerves now to start over.

Verisons for 1.34 are fine.

Nice to see you back Arayas! :D

[Arayas]

I have an obligation for everyone, so i try to adjust things. I'm still pissed.
I looked every road and city for multiple times in the new area, rebuilding, re-detailing, making sure i raise a level up from version to version.
And then....i have seen damaged swedish templates all over the map, in every country. They modified even the size of the text box and now instead of Vaslui people are seeing "slu".
It's a joke on my work. Don't get me wrong, things can be fixed, i'm not gonna kick my cat for it :D
but it's not my way of seeing and doing things and this version was cursed from day 1.
I never played for years RusMap or Southern Region because there was a long list of fixes to use with each one of them. I hate fixes. Do a thing plain and simple, thats my goal.
The joke is on me and for multiple reasons not just those above.

I know is late, but thank you CAPLV ;) Enough for some reading in the library (translation = brain erasing in a bar :D )

;) Go and relax Arayas....you have so much work done. Enough for now. Sleep well. :) :) :) :)

[BenganJ]

You are really entitled to be pissed Arayas! So, as Tapir says, do what has to be done YOUR way
and in the time YOU want :!:

Hi there,

Big thanks and congratulation for such work, well such people are making the difference.
I didnt see so far but wil have been nice to find a section wth info about the developers of such mods, who are they, how they work, how much time takes, how they do it.

Keep up the good work

Welcome aboard! You're asking damn many questions, some of'em not very specific.
But being the first time here I understand that. Some answers you'll probably get, just
by lurking around here, others I suppose you have to put forward when they popup.

Even if you'll find both maps and mods represented here, the reason why this forum
and it's main site was started by Arayas, was for him to have a place for his creation
ROEXTENDED Map. People have then started to place their creations here too, probably
because they liked the environment. I could make a list, but check in the special forum
part for created stuff. Have a nice stay here and see ya around! :D
