I stopped by the print shop this morning and got a scan. We might be better off using a political map, or maybe overlaying it on the "new" map - to show where the old state lines and such where, for reference (I've uploaded them here: http://project-phoenix.wi...les/DL%20foldout.zip for the moment). I forgot the DL map was terrain only. Unfortunately, they're PDFs; I tried copying the image into MS Paint, and it ended up really big and slightly grainy. OTOH, a really big map might be useful. Ron and I talked about doing a Google map, which I thought would be a really cool idea. I'd certainly like to see rebout locations marked, as well as major villes. There's a redoubt map in the archives (http://www.jamesaxler.com...s/dlwsg/redloc.htm), too, as well as a pile of state maps (http://www.jamesaxler.com.../dlwsg/dlolmaps.htm) with locations marked (badly out of date, but still...).

I need to figure out how to add images, so I can pull all that stuff over from the archives - Chris had maps of several redoubts that I would love to include.

A little snip-it of useless information for you...

I'n the English edition of PTH the map was not a fold out, it was bound as two pages in the middle of the book! Page 1 was the right side of the Ryan, JB, Krysty pic. Page 2 and 3 was the map and Page 4 was the left hand sid eof the team pic. It was as if they just took the fold out and bound it into the book. You would have to snap the spine of the book to see the map correctly and pull them out to see the team pic!!!

Oh, that's the "pamphlet" someone was talking about. Interesting.

Hi, Im downloading the zip file to check it out, your second two links however say server error when I click on them..

Don't worry we will get a good map created for your wiki this sort of a thing is a hobby of mine..

I may also be able to make it so that when you click on a area on the map, it shows that area as Ive done this before in the online RPG game I had on my website.

For example, I turned this:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

into this:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

In my online game I then created the map above into this:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Note each tiny square? Every one of them had there own individual maps..

for example this one one of the squares was this town if you went there:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Then note the buildings? Each building you could enter entering yet a image of that building etc..

In other words we can make a pretty cool addon for this site

Note I create and make all my own graphics using a variety of graphics programs..

Wow, that's amazing. I don't know that we'll need that level of detail (having maps of redoubts would be awesome, but villes? eh), but have at it.

As far as the maps on the archives... I don't know why the links don't work; you can get there via the roundabout route by clicking on the Archives link (that goes to the main page), then scroll down to Deathlands Map. Redoubt Location Map (the second link) is just below that. Like I said, there are also tons of maps and diagrams of various redoubts and such there; it would be great if we could include them on the interactive map.

I'll see what I can do Ive learned allot from what if read so far about how the world looks for example I started Bitter fruit today, takes place in england, and all of London or where it used to be is under water, but I'll stick with just the Deathlands.

With Alaska:

Ok, heres my idea, the web page would have this at the top:

Then the map below with the dots (click for bigger image) Then when you hover over a dot, you can click it and in a popup window a map of that redoubt will show, if theres no map, then just the name of it will show up, do you like this idea?

Looks good to me.

As a side note, have you noticed that Krysty is quite flat chested in the picture?


Jim

Now that you mentioned it.. Maybe there sentient like her hair and curling up at the nape of her neck lol

Hahaha I love it. Except it's "triple stupe".

I copied all the non-corrupted maps from the archives yesterday and whipped up a page where they're all displayed, along with info on the location, but I haven't added it yet. I've also been playing around with the idea of adding redoubt information as well - something like Chris had on the archives. Your map gave me an idea - what if we add a brief description (say, a short paragraph - I'm not sure how much would be too much) to the redoubt name when it pops up?

Sure that would not be a problem, basically we can do what we want.. nothing is really undoable as far as coding goes.. I wish my old site was up.. my online RPG would have shown allot of what can be done (I still have the site, its just not on the web lol)
