Ty294 Map & Mod Upcoming Release Thread

[Ty294]

nice work cant wait to play your map. must learn how to make a minimaps for my maps.

Thanks!

Minimaps are, unfortunately, not something for which there is an easy solution. My process involves taking screenshots of the map in Zeroeditor, then taking screenshots in-game, trying to approximately line-up the CPs, then use Adobe Illustrator to create the various objects/outlines/etc. Then spend an inordinate amount of time intricately adjusting them into place. And since Illustrator can't export into TGA the way I need it, I have to export it into PNG, then export it into TGA with Photoshop, each time I make a tweak... The process takes me forever, but I'm very anal about my minimaps looking official-release quality. lol

I actually got it uploaded to Gamefront today (click here!). Fastest I think I've ever had a download approved by them. It has also been sent for approval here, but that download just links to the Gamefront one, since the file is too big to be directly hosted here.

Also, I completely forgot to add this bit of trivia to my description, but the original inspiration for the Europa maps was an old strategy tank game called Battlezone 1998. A fun fact I learned later about BZ98, is that apparently the dev team that built it for Activision, would later became Pandemic Studios!

I will upload it here.  (It has to be uploaded by direct file transfer and then setup in our system, due to its size.)
