Combatintman Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Good finds, I like the second one especially - pity he doesn't explain how he does some of his work on that blog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwerpunktgrenadier Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think I've worked it out, or at least a way of doing it. Check out this bit of software: http://www.the-thorns.org.uk/mapping/ It allows you to georeference map images and then spit them out as .kmz files. I've tried it and the results are excellent. It's free to try but you get Xs over the map overlay. I got some hints how to do it from this youtube tutorial: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellas Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Couldn't this tool be interesting for Battlefront? A special version of this software capable to output into a proprietary format the map editor can read? Since this guy doesn't charge a lot for the registered version, maybe he could make it for quite a decent fee? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
