You know, I kind of like this sketch quality. I'd like to see a map employ something like this.

Nice work Dana.

I like the islet of cowpie, it's a nice touch.

Dana,

Flank missing 3 neutral start
"Four Star Meats" on map, and "Four Star Logo" in XML...whichever you prefer, they should probably match
The borders are perfect - I don't see any issues there. However, I think the coordinates could use a big improvement. I am looking at them with 888, not 88.

Small

Tongue - A tad left
Bottom Neck - A tad down, it might be easier if you move the name too. This way the number doesn't cover up the fat.
Chuck - Tad left
Right Fore Shin - Tad left
Right Fore Ankle - Tad left, tad down
Right Fore Hoof - Tad left, tad down
Back Rib - Lot left, just so it's closer to the name.
Delmonico - I don't think there's much you can do here to get it off of the fat
Outer Skirt - Loooooooot left
Inner Skirt - Not much you can do here either, but see if you can get it a bit closer to the name.
Left Fore Marrow Bone - Tad left
Left Fore Shin - Tad left
Left Fore Ankle - Tad left
Short Loin - Move name up a bit so the number can move left?
T-Bone - Tad left, tad down
Bottom Flank - Bit left
Left Hind Shin - Tad left, tad town
Left Hind Ankle - Tad left, tad down
Tenderloin - Tad left, it's covering the T
Wedge Bone - a bit left, covering a border
Bavette, Flap Steak, Bottom Sirloin - see above
Top Side - covering some fat
Minute Steak - a bit left
Rump - a bit left, if you can
R Hind Shin - a bit left
R Hind Ankle - a bit left
R Hind Hoof - a bit left
Oxtail Tip - a bit left

Large

Tongue - A bit left
Bottom Neck - tad left
Chuck and Chuck Eye - a bit left
Brisket - a tad up
RF Marrow/shin/ankle - tad left
LF Marrow - tad left
Delmonico - lot left, this one is floating in the middle of nowhere
Outer Skirt - Lot left
Short Loin - tad left
Flank - tad left, down
Bavette - tad left
sirloin - tad left
top side - tad left
Rump - Tad left
Eye of the Round - tad left
all of the oxtail can use a tad left shift

after these adjustments we are good to go

"Four Star Meats" on map, and "Four Star Logo" in XML...whichever you prefer, they should probably match

To be exact, the map refers to the region as "Four Star Meats Company Logo", as stated on the chalkboard (:

I was looking at the specials in the bottom left!!

What if the lower left chalkboard said:

4 ☆ Meats
Logo

I suppose you could do the same with the upper left chalkboard. Not sure if it clarifies anything...
(I hope the star character shows up in what I typed. It should read "4 [star symbol] Meats Logo")

It did for me. I think "Star" would work, unless Dana wants an actual star. Just the one thing is to make sure that it is consistent with naming.

I've updated the XML and moved some of the words around to make more room. I posted them here:

In case anyone wants to play spot the difference here it is with the neutrals in place.

the chalkboards don't look right.

there seems to be darkness on the right side the actual board (not the external shadow). the left side is clear. why is that?

if the light source creates a shadow to the right of the board then the right side of the actual board would be the clearest and the left would receive some shadow from the wooden frame.

[dana1971]

The paper got a bit dirty on that side, it's not light.

This map is good to go in my eyes

[dana1971]

Just waiting to hear on the XML at the moment. I've heard the powers at be are busy, so it may be a while, but it will happen

I will be going through my list of maps tomorrow

[Gilligan]

Seems like something screwy happened with fileden, this XML gave me a 404 just like Israel. Dana, can you reupload? I will check it within 24 hours if you can.

[Gilligan]

Dana,

I like those coordinates MUCH better!

To beta!!



Great job.

[Gilligan]

Oops, posted this in the wrong thread.

Here is a reworked XML version.

Think I got all the changes done correctly.

Map name: 4 Star Meats

Congrats Dana on the XML stamp

[dana1971]

Started this map in October 2011!!!! Uggg it's been a long haul for sure.

Thanks for the encouragement Ironman without people like you I'm not sure I would had ever finished.

Best Wishes,
Dana

Nice work Dana!!! Can't wait to play this one

[Bruceswar]

When does this go beta?

[dana1971]

I heard it's in a waiting list, they have a few new maps and don't want to release them all at the same time. So who knows

[ironmanbravo]

Final call anyone?

[PonyGal]

Dana congratulations on what is one of the most eagerly anticipated new cc maps! Outstanding concept & design both (and i'm a vegetarian! Can u imagine how the carnivorous cc'ers would feel if i'm this enthusiastic ). You say this is your first map.. wow, what a debut! Thanks for creating it, one of the cleverest, best looking maps on the site - well done to you!
