Update -- All Buildings Done
Hi, All.
I'm so embarrassed that I haven't finished this map yet. It seems like I've been working on it forever. I just got to get a better handle on the available time I have. It seems that whenever I get some free time something else comes up and snatches it up.
I've finally finished "erasing in" all my buildings. Boy is THAT a time-consuming process!
My next step is to start on the castle. I may wait on that and do the city walls next.
Here is the latest WIP of my city map:
Kilmarnock's Ruhba - Buildings & Minor Roads (24-APR-09).jpg
Enjoy.
Regards,
Gary
In the end you will see, you is you and me is me.

Sucks when 'real life' gets in the way of mapping, doesn't it?

Time consuming...yes; looking real good...yes.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

God almighty, that erasing process must have taken ages.
If your buildings are on a seperate layer might be worth putting a black stroke around them in the layer styles. if the tiny roads are too tiny, you could upscale the size of the image so the one pixel stroke doesn't obscure the roads...just a thought.
It's looking really fabulous....keep going!!!
sorry, couldn't resist, I just had to put a one pixel stroke and an inner glow around ten thousand buildings at the click of a magic wand. Hope you don't mind me playing with your map. Had to kill the resolution for filesize though.

This isn't an attempt to hijack this thread, but Ravells, what are you talking about right there? I looked at the two images and I like what you did to his map - is there a tutorial or something you can direct me to?Originally Posted by ravells
On another note - I am really looking forward to seeing this turn out. I have been following this thread since the beginning.

Ok...silly questions in case they were covered...
Acrobat and Illustrator do some weird things when installing. Did you have antivirus turned off, and make sure that ANY programs that might reference acrobat/PDFS were closed?
In Vista, you often have to run setup files (or anything that accesses the Program Files directories (either of them) in admin mode to work. Did you try that?
