[MAPS] TUTORIALS
#50

[quote="RealDarko"]I need to say a big THANK'S to you and Fly_Zo for all the help and advices given. Now I have the map, but I need two things, cut the sea so the islands and the continent are closer and to scale the map. How I need to do it? And for insert the map on Il2?[/quote]


you have missed this m8, all about resizing .....



[quote="ClockWatcher"]
Remember that for map_h and map_T we set the map size to 1 pixel = 200m because this is what IL2 uses. But for map_C, IL2 uses 1 pixel = 50m. It also uses RGB = 0 for water, RGB = 255 is land and the greyscales in between are shallow water/smooth shorelines.

Method 1, set the mapsize in MicroDEM to 1 pixel = 50m, but you wil have to Blur the edges in Gimp or a similar picture manipulation program to get nice water edges.

Method 2, set MicroDEM to 1 pixel = 200m and scale the image up in you picture program. In Gimp this will automatically give a greyscale/antialaised edge to the map_C.

Lets start at sizing the image:

Go to menu:

"Modify"
"Map Area"
"Set Map pixel size"
since we are making a map_C, change the value to "200.0" or
