World Background Maps

[ExtremorPL]

:geek: My background is four times larger than SCS one (scs resolution 2048x2048, my background resolution 4096x4096) so my values are also larger.

Code: Select all

My values:
ui_map_size:	(10616.4, 10400.0) //I multiplied every value by 2, like with resolution)
Default SCS values:
ui_map_size:	(5308.2, 5200.0)

I hope you understand! :D

Okay, so it's not even a limit there, sizing up the resolution on
the images and raising the ui_map_size values accordingly could
even give a larger coverage? So, any game engine limit does NOT
exist then?

[ExtremorPL]

I think there's no limit (or very high).

[BenganJ]

The prize you pay is a slower movement and zoom in the map view, I think,
so in that way we will still reach a limit! :D :D :D The limit of patience!

[ExtremorPL]

I'll try to do some simple background later, just to see how it would look!

[BenganJ]

Yeah, optimally you will need it later for your present work!

Yes, I heard about his background map, and since it hasn't been updated for awhile I would need to keep the old ui center values that I'm using right now.
Middle East looks like its in the right spot but now UK and Iceland have moved. Guess there's not much to do, when default World Map changes then other backgrounds might not fit so well unless updated.
But I think its alot of work to update the backgrounds, the Google one I'm using hasn't been updated since 2015...
Well, maybe when more countries are drawn I can stomach the default black background, gonna have to take the proper placement of cities and roads over blue water, country names, and terrain eventually.

Map background is on the older version just to let you know I have it all working well at least for know so many changes to maps it also change the way the BG works with the maps look at my video going up today on what it looks like so far
No still not happy with overall but at least its working and alignned for the most part and always a WIP

Okay mate, we'll see what you have to offer later then. This is up now, because the release
of the Middle East Addon to Promods and also that a group here are going to release, Turkmenistan,
Uszbekistan, Iran and a bit more of Kaszakstan. We need a larger background image! Topic about
it here: viewtopic.php?p=7377#p7377

its not much but it works for now until a bigger BG is created maybe someone can base it off of mine and create it although I have been playing around with it to see if I can make it bigger and I can but then be comes out of alignment
but tweaking the values as Extremo mention can be done but maybe beyond my scope but I am trying to make it happen but could be a later time, but for now the BG does work for what it is. :)
my map images or set to 4096x4096 no mip-mapping. Video goes up shorlty just updates to the combo and showing the BG in game for now.

Right, but as you can see, there's a lot of development mapwise out to the
east today, so we are really in need of map background covering a much
larger geographic area! We'll se what happens. Good to see ya here though! :D
