JonS Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just an FYI, Broadsword cut most of the unneeded portion of the master map and with the same forces and detailed area of the map we are now running on a 20+meg file.

sburke Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 You reading this, Wink? Been a really really long day and my brain is fairly fried, but I am not sure what this is in reference to. Help a senile tired old geezer and kindly point out the obvious that I am likely missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonS Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 generally, bolded like that is someone's name. I'm playing a scen and - IMO - the map is redonkulously large compared to the forces and, most especially, the location of the action. The post is a suggestion that the scen author take note of the many merits of viciously truncating maps so they fit the forces and action. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broadsword56 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just an FYI, Broadsword cut most of the unneeded portion of the master map and with the same forces and detailed area of the map we are now running on a 20+meg file. Yes, and for the record, the total map size is now 1888 x 2480. The battle area with all the detail and objects on it is much smaller than that (maybe 1500 x 1500). So, 4 x 4 km master maps seem to work fine as long as you keep a "clean" object-free version as your template, detail only each battle area as you fight it (deleting objects for previously fought-over places) and then cut the edges in for each battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
