I think he didn't get the fact that you were doing a water elevation effect with that section, where the water isn't near as high over the land there as it is in the ocean so you used a different texture.pepperonibread wrote:What does "cleaned up" mean?

Regarding the sea routes, the bevel of the black continent outlines is just going over them, so they seem to end slightly early. The other stuff will be fixed. Also, I assume this thread means I should update my XML so "territory" replaces "country"?AndyDufresne wrote:Hm, it's looking nice, and close.
Something I'd see if you can clarify are the SA borders, especially the Argentina and Brazil one...it's small and the border line looks kind of gray and faded. There are a number of other faded spots, so perhaps look around at the other borders as well.
And on the large map, maybe move the Quebec coordinate slightly away from the border near New England. A tad bit more space.
A few of the sea connections don't look like the touch the land, near Brazil is one. There might be a few others. Quick looks there.
But it's looking good.

I'll try, but there is also a bevel on the sea routes, so that may overlap the continents. However, I'm going to see what happens if I flatten the bevel so it's no longer a layer effect, then maybe I can erase the part over the sea route.KEYOGI wrote:If that's the case with the sea routes, couldn't you just adjust your layer order to fix the problem?
And yes, the XML will need to be updated with <territory> tags replacing the <country> ones.
