Unfortunatly im still not happy with the legends numbers and the bonus text but I think I can live with hte railways lines if you reduce the opacity slightly so there a little less visable.

For the bonus text how are you doin it effects wise?

I can see BRU on both versions perfectly well, and my eyes are oplder than yours gimil.

what is wrong with the bonus texts now....you know gimil, one day everything is ok and you don't have time to give things a good look over....next two days you come back and start nit picking like buggery...i moved all the numbers and centered them...so what is wrong with everything now? I've changed the green so it can be seen...come one man, gimme a break...sometimes i wonder if you're just nit picking for the sake of being difficult.

BRU shows, and the Benelux bonus is much more readable now.

I think I'm done nitpicking.

Cairns my humble apologies, I needed my browser reset. I was working from an old image.

by **gimil** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:18 pm

Perhaps you can add when your using the same link for a new image

Have this for your troubles:

Im throwing around the idea of gicing the graphics still

Gimiiiilllllll!!!

Forgiven....anyone can make that mistake...but please be aware towards the end of maps, i prefer to simply make small changes to existing versions, (I delet existing from photobucket and replace it with a new image) because there is less number of overall images cloggin up their servers. It's like re-using paper.

So you have to refesh everytime you veiw my stuff.

by **FreeMan10** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:20 pm

Congrats cairns!!!

Gimil- Shouldn't this be getting a graphics passed stamp soon, too?

by **juventino** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:33 pm

the title. Its looks bad where the "text" part and the "art" part comes together. Make it more smooth

by **gimil** on Mon Feb 25, 2008 4:40 pm

Yes cairns I wasnt aware that you did this towards the end ill remeber for the future

freeman, I mstill tossing around the idea of giving teh graphic. Im trying to think if there is any wat to resolve my concerns with hte sleepers on the large without giving cairns o much work

Interesting point. Cairns - could the bottom of the text be curved to match the arch of the title box, and could the edges of the text box be blended into the iron work a little more smoothly? Now that I look at it, it does seem a bit abrupt.

NOTE: I said I was done nitpicking. This is not my nit, I'm jumping on someone else's!

Gimil, thanks for the Idea Passed icon

Sorry, don't understand what "gicing" the graphics means.

Solution below in Version 30

The title has been completely re-worked posing as a metal boards accross iron work with four rivets.

I really like the idea!

but the grapics don't look so attractive...

by **gimil** on Tue Feb 26, 2008 12:45 pm

Im sorry to bust in cairns, but have you gained permission for the extra space you have took for the small? You started this map before my time.

by **cairnswk** on Tue Feb 26, 2008 1:21 pm

Gimil, at the time this map was started on 21 sep last year, there was no need to gain oversize permission because maps were allowed to go to that limit if they were going to need the extra 21 px width becauiise of their size and continent capacity.

At the time of my being a CA, we went through the exercise of downsizing most maps; most of my maps were downsized to the required 600px, however, this one was not put opn the list because of the largeness of the map and the extra space that is needed for the eye.

Lackattack did make a comment in the downsizing exercise, to the extent that it would be a shame to downsize maps like World 2.1 because they look great and need that extra space.

So to answer your question, i don't beleive i ever gained full permission to do this because at the time the extra 21 px were allowed. Andy may be aware of this map situation, if he is not, then i seek permission now....after the map is finished. I will say, that at this point in time, if i have to re-size this small version, i will be most disappointed.

1. if you could do better, i challenge you.

2. what particular part is not so attractive and

3. do you have a solution to make it look better.

Pipe-up or forever hold your peace.
