Proposed Map: Domination 1941

@black_elk
Another request, this time for flags.
Lets use the correct aspect ratio for flags?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_aspect_ratios_of_national_flags

So for my map, I would like the following;
16px _small used in History and Tech table
32px, Bottom right-current players turn, politics panel
54px _large & _convoy for Sea Zone ownership
For the following nations
Australia, Britain, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, USA, USSR

where Australian flag will be used for the Pacific Allies

If you wanted to do a buoy for SZ ownership then please use the 32px flag with the buoy underneath as the flag pole.

If you wanted to do all the nations for the "Global" maps then be aware they should only be used on 4K screens as 1920x1080 is not wide enough without the screens looking squashed/crowded, the flags are better left as square.

For reference my map, 1941 Global Command Decision only has 8 nations/players, not the usual 16+.

Just to confirm you want to the height at 54/32/16 and the width to hold the historical aspect ratio? Those would be the larger sized banners I made included in the unit sticker at 68 tall there. Here they are reduced to 54px and the smaller sizes, shown all together...

Doing the variable aspect some nation's will appear rather larger than others, like USSR or the UK with wider banners. I forgot France below, but it's basically in the same aspect ratio as Italy and Japan at these scales. German flag is made up, but it's at 3:5. Let me know if that's what you meant for the sizing or something else?

So quick!
Copied the US ones, they look perfect in every way, just like Mary Poppins.

I will put them in game to see the whole effect.

Thanks!

@black_elk Is there a version of this without the country colours, but has the labels?

@ctj13
Check out this map, it has territory labels, not sure what you mean about the country colours.

Hi @ctj13

The Territory labels are in the "misc" folder. The Player colors are in "map.properties".

Go to "downloadedMaps" in your triplea folder and open the map you want.

Then open the "map" folder and you will see the above misc and map.properties folders.

Ahh ... this is for Domination 1941. Yea Idk about it but as Dog mentioned above, UHD will probably work as it's basically same time frame.

Edit
You also need to have a "decorations" text which tells triplea where to put the names. Use UHD as a guide. Let us know if you have any trouble.

@beelee Thanks!!!

I have a 9800 px wide draft map with more realistic land shapes, while Europe is enlarged enough to fit more units (ignore the WW1 borders). If the project is still alive, we can work on this.

@Schulz
Been a while. If you want to use this threads map you are welcome to use it. It is used in 1941 Global Command Decision, but be aware it has nearly 800 locations so is probably best for solo play.
