Thanks guys!

Unfortunately I lost nearly 7Gb of data due to a crash last night, I recovered my modding folder but I have no idea if the map templates are ok, to make matters worse scandisk changed all long filenames to dos 8-character format so none of my games, modding tools, or other programs that were in this hard-drive work.

I am going to have to put all modding projects on hold until I sort through my recovered data.

Of course you will have to remember to add in some craters here and there (Like LA in Fallout 1, heck, that had me staring at the map for a while) Wink

Corpse,

Do you still have the high-res version of the map, or did you lose that as well?

We plan on stretching from Colorado to Nevada, and possibly to California. The main plot of the game will all be east of previous Fallout titles, but we may include one or two cities from previous Fallout titles to revisit.

Sorry about the gravedigging and double posting, but I got an update to the worldmap project and editing the last message would have left this topic down in page 3.

So far I have only done the section below which we will use for the fanout project, but I have a high-quality image from the NASA site which covers the whole American continent.

You can find a full-scale low res and high res version through the links below, if the image fails to open copy the shortcut and paste it in the address bar of a new browser window.

http://www.freewebs.com/herrleiche/wmtmpx100%5Flowres.jpg approx 1.5Mb

http://www.freewebs.com/herrleiche/wmtmpx100%5Fhigh.jpg approx 5.2Mb

These images are large (8853x3789 pixels) so they may not be displayed properly in some browsers.

@Slaytanic: I haven't worked on any Europe maps yet but may do so whenever I manage to get the file. If you want to work on it yourself however, you can find the original image through the link below.

ftp://veftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/bluemarble/land_shallow_topo_east.tif
720Mb, covers entire euroasian landmass.

@Calculon: Glad you like the maps, so far I have only worked on the area shown on the post above; but as soon as I get some free time, I may expand it to include the whole US. If you are impatient though I suggest you download the original image from the nasa link I provided below, the image covers the entire american continent and the detail is spectacular.

ftp://veftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/bluemarble/land_shallow_topo_west.tif

Oh btw, the file is only 240Mb.
