*[Abandoned] Papua New Guinea

[ndrs]

Vacation, please. Will pick it up again sometime soon.

[RedBaron0]

By request of the mapmaker: This map is on vacation. To return this map from vacation please contact a CA after an update has been made. If on vacation for an extended period time, the map may be reviewed for gameplay again to make sure it is within current Foundry guidelines. Gameplay stamp may be removed if the map is found to be deficient in any way.

Hope it is indeed soon!

Is there any way we can get this one finished? It won a contest, after all, and is not too far from completion. If ndrs won't pick it up, are there any procedures for someone else to do so since it was a contest winner? I really loved this design and would hate to lose it forever.

I sent a quick PM to ndrs to ask him to come and continue this. If not, someone else can continue it soon but with all new graphics.

Hey guys, thanks for the interest.

I would love to complete this map, as long as no major changes are needed. I do like it as it is (besides a few things I would like to change).
I think I'll have some time again after next week...

By the way, looking at the old mages, they look pixly. What's up with that? They were of better quality when I uploaded them.

[koontz1973]

Glad to see you wanting to continue this. As for the images, some of the sites degrade after a while. Just post new images for a fresh feel.

[Peter Gibbons]

This is great news! Very happy to know this will get back on track.

Perhaps North/South Highlands could be slightly more distinct colours ?

I think we're ready to go with this otherwise.

Or switch North Highlands with Sepik? There's really no reason that the greys have to be so close to the impassables.

[Peter Gibbons]

Anything on this...? Would love to play it soon!

The six months of vacation for this map has expired and this map will now be labeled as [Abandoned]. If the original mapmaker wants to continue this map project that's fine but an update must provided. From this moment anyone else is free to take this project without the original mapmaker permission, but it has to be started from scratch.

[ManBungalow]

I'm going to try pick this map up if that's okay?

With a different graphics style.

I just want something which will pass the gameplay stage without too much fuss really.

[pamoa]

as it was a competition result I'm not sure if it shouldn't be the 2nd who will get the priority

That might be the case, but rules are rules. The 6 months are up and this is now any ones map to make. It is just a shame that all this great work is going to go unfinished.

[ndrs]

Personally I feel the map would work as is (and look pretty damn good). In the end I felt I couldn't afford putting in the time when there's a good chance it could drag on and on and be demands for changes I really didn't wanna do.
I'm totally cool with whomever wants to take over from here.

[Gilligan]

If all that's left is to finish a little graphics and the XML, I'd be happy to write it.

The conquerclub agreement is not our friend in this case:

The author retains copyright on their work, and gives Conquer Club permission to use the imagery free of charge....omissis

This map is dead till the author decides to work again directly on it (which doesn't seem the case reading ndrs post) or someone will start the project from the scratch....and it's what ManB is doing.
ManB map looks very nice and promising, I strongly suggest everyone to go there and give support, suggestions and advices to that map, instead of waste time here.

I'm sorry guys, but I think you're riding a dead horse here.

wow this map looks awesome

[thenobodies80]

Nice thing you want to continue this.
A question, with everything included do you mean?
Please make a list of the changes you did, it will make our life much much easier, specially in this case.

Now, I have two minor suggestion:

The title, it's possible to make it in a way so it stands out a bit more. Nothing eccessive, but maybe some lighter color to outline the letters?

Sea connections, they looks done in a way like you did them just because you had to do them. They look poor compared to the rest of your graphics, that are very very good!

Oh final thing, save the file always as png instead of jpg

So, do you want this moved to the foundry system?

So all the work ManB did is for nothing? I like this map, and completely understand, but that's a shame.

Done!

The idea was actually to make the title and facts blend into the background. There's pretty much going on visually already, so I was toning them down to make sure they didn't disturb the tactical overview.I can brighten it a bit if there is another update.

Sea connections, they looks done in a way like you did them just because you had to do them. They look poor compared to the rest of your graphics, that are very very good!
I think they are in line with theme - the land and sea are made up of very simplistic solid blocks, so the routes are siplistic solid lines with drop shadow! I had them dotted in earlier versions, but it looked cluttered. And thanks

Oh final thing, save the file always as png instead of jpg
OK!

So, do you want this moved to the foundry system?
Well, let wait and see what the people thinks. I don't want to step on ManBungalow's toes.

Yeah, I hear you. I said the same to Koontz over pm's.
I wish I was informed that MB was thinking of starting this map up again.

That's why the status is [Abandoned?].
