Global 40 Expansion Boxes

@VictoryFirst order doesn’t matter as that is determined by the centers. The names will go in the misc folder. Then the decorations.txt supplies the coordinates where they are placed.

You can see how “Aleutian Islands” is different from “Aleutian_Islands”

The former is what will show on the map. The latter is what it’s called in the code part

I think lol Might have that backwards :)

@VictoryFirst ok one more spam :) what that does is take the png and use it for the game name “Aleutian Islands” in our example.

“Aleutian Islands” is the code name.

although it doesn’t have the underscore so i guess i don’t really know how it works lol

@VictoryFirst OK I been up all night Sorry :) This is the link for our game with the latest SZ Fixes
https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd

I will go away now

yea I don’t like the overflow boxes. Triplea does it fine. Not gonna use em. Easier to see the flow in the tty then moving to a box. I’ve never liked em actually :)

So more room for decorations lol I guess could make more LMs too but I’m not sold on them either.

Will just leave em blank for now

@black_elk right arm. I think I’m gonna move a couple things. Hopefully I can paint over the lines and it’ll work :) but yea were pretty close for relief.

@VictoryFirst can you make a couple names for our empty boxes ? The smaller box is 100x225. Was thinking

U
H
D

For it. idk, could try black lettering for it maybe ?

and then the bigger box is 855x225. Was gonna go with something like

          Global 40
          Expansion

Idk open to ideas. Was thinking that should be pretty simple and better than just an empty box. I don’t know how todo any of the decoration stuff really.

Actually smaller box is 140 x 225

Update to 1.685

https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes

@Black_Elk decided not to move anything. If overflow boxes don’t work well, I’ll just remove there placements in future and they can be decorative.

I guess just kinda roll with the TTy owners for relief. The SZ 113 flow should be an ocean tile. idky it’s not working. Maybe I jacked something in the xml.

The two blank spots, I guess just throw w/e you think for a background.

For timetable, will just roll with Changer/Neutral color. Idk how to really do any of the decoration stuff, so if you have any better ideas, we can roll with them :)

Anyway, think it should be ready for Relief :)

Edit
I’ll take another look at SZ 113 Flow. It’s the white spot above Greenland. Seems like if it’s a SZ it should auto to that color ?

Well i jacked with 113 some more. Got rid of the flow tile and just made it part of 113. Added placements. Those work but still no color change.

Also forgot boats place at a 100 so only room for 3. I might just dust it entirely. Idk gonna work on something else for a while.

I guess, just leave it blank for now or paint over it with some blue and call it good.

hmm … I think I screwed up Nenetsia. Try another poly grab see if it fixes

yea I did. Heres fix
https://github.com/beelee1/global_40_expansion_uhd_boxes

forgot to update map version so oh actually I did. 1.686 :) hopefully thats it. I’m cruising through the oceans and border TTys for place right now but @Black_Elk should be good to roll with relief :) I think lol

Hmm … I wonder if that’ll jack with the boxes. I saved the SZ just in case. well it looks ok with details off, so should be ok

yea we should be good. Went through all the border TTys and Oceans. Start redoing the boxes now

@barnee said in Global 40 Expansion Boxes:

LM 1
LM 2
LM 3
LM 4
LM 5
LM 6
LM 7
LM 8
LM 9
LM 10

@VictoryFirst we can nix the LM s. Gonna just go with a roundel or maybe just the lettering idk
with LM OR for orange. Maybe make it orange or just the OR part. Only need LM GRN and LM BLU for what I came up with.

We’ll see how they play and adjust as needed. I’ll just use the existing names for TTy

Edit
I guess you could spell em out too. Probably go
LM
ORANGE or something then

@VictoryFirst so I just hacked this together but was thinking something like it

You see the orange LMs in Belarus, check LM boxes for Belarus orange and it gives ya E POL

Finished the LM Places. We’ll swap roundels out when they become available. Went 48x48 on them. Did the two Flow Boxes also. We’ll have to playtest those. Can always change em for LMs or something if we want.

Think I’ll make a single generic timetable token to get the place down ,so the dudes show up same as Captains next. Or maybe D-Day lol

Heres a quick look at Timetable. Probably change UK Commando at some point. You hover and it tells what he is though. I’ll look through Brown folder.

Have to add everybody to Changer or Jerry and Tommy breakout on each other lol

yea @VictoryFirst probably shrink em down to 42x42. This will take a bit to get shit to place correctly. w/e :)

Gd it forgot those islands in Hudsons bay lol

I even remembered how todo it lol

@VictoryFirst Kickass D-Day Looks just like the Captains. Since were in UK tho, wdyt about going maybe a heavy brown ? Sets it off enough to distinguish, but not to aggressive.

D-Day only happens once a game. Actually, i’ve never done it other than testing :)
