Don't worry, I'll check all your patches and help you get comfortable with the HEART style, I appriciate your help on this massive project
The outlines aren't rly neccesary for (most) the islands here as they are pretty big and can fit colours inside all of them, but yes the 5 pixel gap might be to much in some places, we will have to establish some of the HEART rules as they become relevant
I encountered this twice already in Polynesia. I tried to lower the gap such that there are at least 2 water pixels in between both outlines. But for some really close islands that might still not work.
Thats looking alot better, I do recommend re-visiting the lesser antilles now that you got the style down though, the next step would be to add the borders and ilssnad outlines
Ooh I am working on Europe, I think it would be best if you kept to North America so we dont get in eachothers way while mapping
I do appriciate your enthousiam in helping, but it is best not to speedrun HEARTs creation as it will leave many things for us to fix later. Doing the coastlines is the easy bit but it is in adding the borders/rivers/glaciers that a great amount of detailing goes.
The lines in the pdf are a reference only, they are converted into robinson projection from a lower resolution map, they need to be hand drawn comparing to more high resolution sources, using this methode HEART would have at most a 2-4 pixel error margin which is good enough for now, but as I elaborated in my post above I am trying to get it even more accurate by cross referencing all the borders with other sources.
You're right, I'm doing it too fast, maybe missing some details and future adds. Sorry for that, as I said before, I was never participated in creating maps, so it's my first time trying to do something :>
I'm very close to start doing borders from Florida to.. maybe Yucatán
For coastlines google maps is definitely the best option and what I have been using myself thus far.
No worries, I am here to help you figure it out, just keep in mind that there is no rush or deadline to finish this map
During M-BAM's development we kept a smaller map showing what areas people were working on, I have tried making a quick version of that for HEART
I guess I don't really understand how G-projector works. Most maps on wikipedia don't give the corner coordinates or even the projection. How would I for example import the below image and map it to robinson:
Yeah, I think about the same. Like, how I will fit it on Robinson projection correctly
