@beelee Look at what the actual PU images are named as.
If you are copying the images from the forum you have to rename them when you paste them into the folder.
right now the 20 PU image is labelled...
1531409555341-20.png
It (and all the rest of them) need to be renamed...
20.png (of course each one has to be renamed the appropriate #, not 20)

-
@hepps yea i did that too but didn't work. I'll try again
heh heh yea we don't wanna go too big on 20 : )
-
@beelee And you are not adding the second folder... you are deleting the original PUs folder and replacing it with your new folder that HAS TO BE NAMED PUs (exact same as the original)

@wc_sumpton You need to see them in direct comparison on the map.
The new set has a darker outline that will match the new unit Stack #'s more closely.

@hepps yea got it working. Must have had to much performance enhancer going on : )
thanks again
looks cool brother : )
yea ! looks way better ! Sweet !
-
@beelee I thought I was your performance enhancer.
-
@hepps heh heh McCormicks got the best of me today.
Good stuff Hepps. Thanks again
-
@Hepps Is it ok for me to use the land and sea patterns from your work on the Middle Earth - Battle For Arda. If so can I bother you to post samples here. To be clear not terrain patterns although they are nice. Just the main background patterns (texture and waves).
-
@general_zod Only because you are such a sexy beast.
-
@hepps I'm too sexy for the catwalk, too sexy....

-
@general_zod I'll hunt them down.
-
@hepps Thank you.

-
@hepps Really do like that water texture for some reason. Just kind of nice and subtle.
-
@redrum Yah it took me a while to tweek, resize and play with the transparency to get the finished product in BFA. Glad you like it.

@Hepps said in Map Maker Resources:
@cernel Although if you want to make these the default terrain effects icons for Triple A I am also fine with that.
The next release hopefully coming soon, I just proposed most of them for this purpose at this issue:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/5104
Besides, of course, better large images (tho it might be good keeping them monochrome and fairly basic), the only minor item I see is a better normal image for representing the non-sandy desert (that is the kind of desert where virtually all operations in the desert were actually made, during World War II, since the sand seas, as well as the salt marshes, were virtually completely impassable). -

@prastle Jungles are forests. So, if you are trained to fight in jungles, that means that you are indeed trained to fight in a particular kind of forest.
Plural or singular is just a matter of territory dimensions. A territory can be as small as to comprise only part of a steppe, or to comprise a series of steppes. Just like it can be as small as to comprise only a forest, or part of it, or several forests. Or it can be as small as comprising just a portion of a hill, or as large as comprising many hills. Since these are the TripleA assets, I considered more consistent to go with the plural in all cases. If "steppes" sound too uncommon, it can be called "grasslands" or "prairies" (slightly different concepts, arguably, of course).

@Cernel I can safely say that fighting in jungles is nothing like fighting in the Canadian woods
I think he was just attempting to represent the geography of the world accurately but all good up to the map maker
