I want to see this map, lol

Will I dare to post? :D I only fear I could be banned from there... errrkkk... Or they let me time to delete it (just in case) without banning? :| awful doubt...

Well I dared! LOL map is visible (waiting to be approved or deleted) here:

Spectacular map!

great map, I think its fine the way it is.

:)

Very nice! Go on!

I'm correcting the "double pixel" unestetical bug into the Large Map now :D

You may be telling us a bit too much about your life in that there is clearly a hand next to your penis. But leaving that aside, I think that I would prefer not to play on a penis map.

gopher, that is a stylized warhammer, surronded by hands punching out! >=)) LOL
who could see a penis with that sharp edged balls? >:))

lol gopher

Take a look people in "Testosteronia"....."Stylized warhammer" or penis with balls?

Had you called it a club or some sort, I might be able to see it, but I do not see a hammer at all.

I think you shouln't call this battle of sexes, as males clearly do not have a place on this map.

Oli, why? :?

Paladins, into their Shield-shaped kingdom are the most representative I think; Ultramages are of course the most wizard-like savants... Testosteronics are ok the less serious, a band of savage barbarians LOL

gopher I can change anyway FDB province to have it looking better a warhammer, LOL

PALADINLAND
The proud and bold knights of Paladinland are efficient and well organized warriors; they would have already conquered their neighbours if the Witches on the north would have not been so well skilled with magic, or if the Matrons on the south wasn't so skilled into housewife quick techniques with can-openers; the fear of losing their precious armours and stuff has made many bragging Paladins to be prudent on the battlefield, thinking about rational strategy more than launching into reckless assaults like their Testosteronic buddies are used to do.
As the elite stuff like armours and horses is not enough to equip all, the most Paladins fight with lesser equipment like leather armours and ringstaffs, grouped into battalions similar to our world's pikemen; a well-organized meritocracy chooses who among the common soldiers can become Knight when an old one retires for age to the peace of Concordia Island Core.

Testosteronia's description is far less serious, if you want to read it now LOL

Uh yes the general background, to see better the general situation:


Background:
The Lost Islands of Discordia and Concordia are a place of strange traditions and sociological attitudes: instead fighting by standart cruelty and killing instinct, their inhabitants have developed since centuries a code of behaviour very unique and stunning.
While old people, children, and everyone wanting a quiet lifestyle like them are let in permanent peace into the core of Concordia Island, the most adult women and men of the archipelago delight fighting each other to get the supreme privelege ever: to be the one allowed to stay up in the bed.
Organized countries and strongholds have developed to build and maintain armies and ships in order to wage war on the other sex during the hottest 30 days of each summer, until the total subjugation of the losers taken prisoners and the triumphant joy of the winners having a good war booty to play with...
The summer has come, and armies of women and men are ready for battle and will have no mercy for prisoners' whining nor headaches! Who will be, at last, the one to be tied down in the bed?

New Idea of Shape for FDB Province.PNG posted! Let's see if it looks better a warhammer now LOL

I liked the club shape better, its more of a representation of a barbaric testosterone prone people.

fasces, I could organize a votation then :D LOL

what's so LOL about a votation LOL ?

Personally I don't really like Symmetrical maps. I know many do, but I don't. The closest I've come is an Asymmetrical map.

kaner, because I have no idea about how to start a votation: I am N-E-W :P

I recommend downloading GIMP ( found here: http://www.gimp.org/ )

and following the commentary found here:

http://forum.webdiplomacy.net/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=754

uh ok... tomorrow I will... now I must go, 5:23 am here, again a night on computer hehe

kaner, very interesting example of map making! :) (No LOL, ok? :P ) I'm learning some details I couldn't imagine :)

map.PNG and smallmap.PNG, plus smallmapNames.PNG are finally ready :)

Just a great question now: is there problems if a country name begins with "M"? I've heard it can cause conflicts with that letter being assigned to Game Master...

??? I don't think there is a problem with the letter M. Where did you here this?

Around in the net when I ran a program called Mapmaker, which allowed me to creat a strange and I bet unuseful poligonal map

In the variant I am making there is a country called Merseyside, there doesn't seem to be any problems.

I am compiling the text strings about provinces now, example:
...
array('CWW' , 'Coast' , 'Yes' , 845,170, 338,68, 'Ultramagicfiords' , 'No' ),
...

My doubt: the two exact points (in the Large and in the Small map) state the positions of the province names, long or short, but not the position of the unit... right?

good for the "M" then :)

Co-ordinates are the unit positions. On the lab there is a map editing tool that can be used for the coding of the text strings about provinces and movements.

http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/edit.php

the lab, is http://forum.webdiplomacy.net/ ?

aaahhhh I see now! :D thanks amisond!

The lab is the site the maps are uploaded too and tested before they are but on this site.

This: http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/files.php?variantID=56 is an example of the files needed for a variant. I would suggest you work on the variant.php for now and ask oli put your maps up on the lab.

As the maps are ready I can upload the variant on the lab if you want. Or if you have some PHP knowledge Ou can setup your own test server.

Yes, now I see the general plan! :) thank you very much!
so now I've ready only: map.PNG, smallmap.PNG, mapNames.PNG, smallmapNames.PNG

I work to creat my variant's /install.php file now :)

You can create install.php with the edit tool on the lab.

uhi... sorry but I still don't find that edit tool ... unless it is this (too complicated for me) :(
https://github.com/Sleepcap/vDiplomacy/blob/master/edit.php

It's actually found here:
http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/edit.php

but you will need Oli to upload your *.png files before you can use it. You can explore the site here:
http://lab.vdiplomacy.com/index.php

ok kaner! :)

Any updates here...?
As far as I remember the map is ready, just the winning condition needs to be settled...
