chromium Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Hello, I'm struggling trying to create an high resolution 1:50000 map of the scenery with only those visible layers/information: - cities names (not orange overlay, if possible) - buildings - rail lines - power lines - rivers - MGRS grid (not LL) - roads - forest it could be better if the map could appear flat also "flat". Do you thing is there a way to: - Do that in batch, obtaining a single map files or a lot of tiles? - If previous process is not possible, to edit visible object layers in ME map.. and I'll have to manually join tiles making a (hundreds) series of screenshots? ie. using a different background than default elevation map, or having city names label whitout the orange 100% opacity overlay? I looked some hours in the scripts that are involved in a map... but I didn't found anything about that. Thanks in advance for the help... and happy new year :) :thumbup: Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Github for latest version: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC

dagandolfo Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Right following on from the update to the URL tag above I think i've managed to extract the link that Lilkiki was trying to post for you. http://www.mediafire.com/download/ozolfoowt2f/500k+low+res.rar
chromium Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks, but it's far too low res* and scale, I would like to prepare a map (or a set of map) of 1:50.000, about 10 times higher in scale. It's not going to be "better" than the tactical map, it's going to be done for different purposes. *I'm talking about the original size map, of about 140 Mb, that I already have.

Lilkiki Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 Oops sorry guys for the bad link, posted via phone. sorry too that the size is not what you are looking for [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
chromium Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 Thank you anyway :). Let's see if I can get some other suggestions :) Author of DSMC, mod to enable scenario persistency and save updated miz file Stable version & site: https://dsmcfordcs.wordpress.com/ Github for latest version: https://github.com/Chromium18/DSMC
chromium Posted January 4, 2015 Author Posted January 4, 2015 No one can help? even an hint about modifying lua settings of F10 view layers (or Mission Editor map layers) will be ok.

vicx Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) Chromium I was tweaking the F10 map about a month ago. You can do a lot with C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bazar\Map\classifier.cfg but it is not as intuitive as it seems. So much trial and error involved to get desired result. The scale setting is still a mystery to me I just used big numbers to make things appear earlier than they should. I'm not sure which data mods the ME editor and which data mods F10 AWACS view in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\MissionEditor\data\NewMap\classifier.lua but I was able to change the appearance of some elements (lines,icons,shapes) and remove others. HINT: translate any russian comments using google translate to get a basic category for the element. (road, railway, highway, forest, iso, power, river, building, village, names ... etc) In the end I also had to temporarily delete some files to remove some elements because I think they are just hard-coded. I think the F10 map view is probably hacks built on hacks. What I wanted to do was to make a ROAD focused map setting that showed most roads and most towns as soon as possible in the zoom view. I also decided to remove all other distracting elements. I got part of the way there it but I wasn't completely satisfied. Edited January 4, 2015 by vicx

chromium Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Hi vicx, I tried some hacks so far, And I managed to change F10 view settings to diplay MGRS detailed grid earlier... I could be ok, If I find a way to hide the terrain elevation isolines in the basic map view. I tried some solution but it didn't work. Maybe you already archived that? Still my dreams it's to add another layer... but I can't understand how.

vicx Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I tried so many things and then I stopped documenting what I was doing and tried everything. To remove terrain elevation isolines in the basic map view I had to delete an actual file. The result was better but only marginal for the extra work required.
