Glad we're now in the main foundry
Does anybody think the map should be lightened somewhat? Specifically the green land areas. Below is the current version for reference:

Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 8:52 pmHi Tom, welcome to the main foundry.
To get the gameplay stamp, we'd be well advised to try it out on the beta site. For this we'll need XML.
You might find this page helpful to code the conditional autodeploys you have for the paratrooper: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 5#p4397767
About lightening the colour....I like it how it is at the moment. The green colour is really military and sort of gritty. But feel free to experiment and see if there's something even better....I did wonder about overlaying (very faint) some sort of texture?

Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2016 12:38 pmThanks ManB. I've been working on the XML and have a few XML queries:
To achieve +4 deployment regardless of region count, will this work? 128 is the number of total regions on the map.
Next question: for regions that start neutral, and also receive an auto deploy, does it matter which order the <neutral> and <bonus> tags are in? For example:
Final question regarding the conditional autodeploy. The paratrooper receives a +2 autodeploy when held with its neighbouring reinforcement. Basically, Dijon receives +2 autodeploy when held with Donat. Can you correct any mistakes in this code? I found this bit quite hard to follow from the guide.
Also, does anybody know of a website I can use to upload the XML file to use along with CC Map Maker/Map Inspect? Last time I did this I used FileDen, whic is no longer in business.

- Code: Select all
<minreinforcement>4</minreinforcement>
<reinforcements>
<reinforcement>
<lower>1</lower>
<upper>128</upper>
<divisor>128</divisor>
</reinforcement>
</reinforcements>
Next question: for regions that start neutral, and also receive an auto deploy, does it matter which order the <neutral> and <bonus> tags are in? For example:
- Code: Select all
<territory>
<name>Paris</name>
<borders>
<border>Arnold</border>
<border>Abel</border>
<border>Grasse</border>
<border>Basile</border>

Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2016 12:31 amI like green as is (and w/o texture). Reminds me of old school NES games
Re: 1944 Operation Overlord V5 {updated 14 days ago}
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 9:18 pmThis is the latest XML. I can't get it to work in the Map Inspect, can anybody help me troubleshoot and or help with the questions above? Thanks!

If you're using the XML wizard that chipv made, then I guess it won't have been updated to include transformations.
From your post above, the first two bits look fine (+4 deployment and neutral/auto-deploy), but I'll need to have a closer look at the transformation bit later.
Re: 1944 Operation Overlord V5 {updated 14 days ago}
Posted: Mon Feb 08, 2016 6:15 pmHi ManB, thanks for your reply. I wrote the code without chipv's tool (though used it for the coords.) but still need help with the transforms to achieve the conditional autodeploy.
Re: 1944 Operation Overlord V5
Posted: Sun Feb 28, 2016 4:27 amCan somebody help to make this work in the Map Maker? I think it's just a simple XML issue
Re: 1944 Operation Overlord V5
Posted: Wed Mar 09, 2016 4:43 pmfor the conditional auto-deploy, have u tried the syntax below?

<inc>+</inc>
<amount>2</amount>
<id>Dijon</id>

Hey Qwert!
I'll find a place. Just for you.

Hey Owen! Thanks for your comment. I was wondering whether to go just a touch lighter in some areas (keeping the darkest dark, so it would add a little contrast to the map.) Which big huge world map are you talking about? This map or a different one?

Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 2:57 pmwhen u finalise the names of each region, remember that names in france must be either all french names in their proper locations or, apart from paris, all non-french code names.
