that was in the post right above yours.

Read what I say, or I refuse to read what you say.

I did read that. But the names aren't what ga7 said.

surely if all the territory names are going to be in french then corsica should be corse?

ga7 wrote:I understand you want to keep the english version of the area names, but for the territory names it's just typos:
Haute Vienne, Cote du Nord, Pas de Calais, Lozerre are the correct ones.

I made a mistake anyway come to think of it, it's Lozere.
For Corsica I don't think it matters much though. Corse people call it Corsica.

I spent a month in Corsica and all the signs and everything around me said Corse but meh, map-makers choice I guess.

I believe we decided they were going to be mostly in english but i'd fix typos that really bothered french people.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 6:35 pm

after the typos are we at quench? or is there more to do?

I would say that Garonne and Mayenne (the labels) have plenty of space to be moved away from the borders. Just looks strange when you have all this space and they are right on the edge for no apparent reason.

The corners on the legend seem off. The angles where they are 'cut' are different on the right and the left (at the top at least) Or, at the least they appear to be. I think with the corners looked better. Or, at least fix these so that it is uniform throughout.

i'll try on the second part.. the first part I think i already did, but it was to minor to really work on.

Dunno what "Cote du Norde" is

I live in this region and I can assure you that the correct name is
Côtes-d'Armor

Great map otherwise !

PS: take a look at that : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%C3%A9par ... %C3%A9gion

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 12:48 am

how about cote du armor?

Zumo · Post by **Zumo** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 3:39 am

Cote du Armor isn't correct in french :/

Before a voyel you must have d' instead of du

Cotes d'Armor at the least (you can't put ô and - on CC ?)

xml doesnt recognize accented letters, thats y u need to use du rather than that accented one, i think.

well lets fix this problem, i don't know if it is the same at xml as it is at the html but this might work

http://www.weethet.nl/dutch/html_asciitable.php

this al are code i think they work for xml
its in dutch but the only thing you need to know that is in dutch is "spatie" and that means space (from spacebar)

I would like to not use those for the simple fact of I know how brazil went batshit crazy when lack made an update and it caused chaos that i'd like to avoid.

Zumo · Post by **Zumo** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:32 am

Well... I guess "Cotes d Armor" is the best you can do

DiM · Post by **DiM** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 8:56 am

kyle could you put both large and small images with the modifications of the terit labels so i can look over the coordinates and see what needs to be tweaked?

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Mon Sep 17, 2007 10:39 am

yes DiM I could, however, I'm currently in the process of switching to a new computer and don't have photoshop or my picture files crossed over just yet.

reverend_kyle....hi
just doing some housekeeping...i assume your poll is ready to come down since i think it was started around page 23, and was only running for ten days.
Can you advise please.

if it is finished it will be removed.

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 12:40 am

I rounded the edges on the map

Changed Cote du Nord to Cote d Armor

Moved territory labels to their final location.

After DiM makes minor changes to the xml I think we're good to be quenched right?

Zumo · Post by **Zumo** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:43 am

You've done a pretty good job

In the name of France, I thank you (xD)

reverend_kyle · Post by **reverend_kyle** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:48 am

does anyone else feel like my mall map is too small. I constantly keep checking the size because it feels way small.

edbeard · Post by **edbeard** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 4:20 am

nope. frankly whenever I see these 2 maps I think they are unnecessarily large, but that's just personal taste.

legend corners look good to me. I'm not gonna Wisse it and zoom in because well if I can't tell from this view it probably doesn't matter

the legend corners aren't all the same rounded, but i think it looks good now so it doesn't matter that much
