2013-03-01 Text Mapper Progress

I’m a big fan of the Forgotten Depths. I wanted to use its map as the goal for my Text Mapper. As the mapper now allows the inclusion of other files, I’ve saved my library of colors and icons as default.txt and I’ve saved the map as forgotten-depths.txt. That’s why all you need to do now is include the map:

Forgotten Depths

Text Mapper

default.txt

forgotten-depths.txt

Forgotten Depths SVG

Forgotten Depths SVG

If you see white hexes, then I haven’t added any definitions for them, yet.

Wow, this looks great! I think I’ll need to re-map parts of the Mystara campaign … I may have some time on Sunday.

Too bad creating new icons takes so damn long. Also, two line labels would be nice. And big, diagonal labels to label areas. “Mirkwood” or something like it. Nice coastlines, roads, rivers...

Regarding roads and rivers: I’m discovering that Bézier curves need a bit more effort since simply doing a quadratic curveto (’T’ in the SVG spec) the hex midpoints isn’t working very well. I will need to rediscover my trigonometry basics!
