Just need a few pointers mainly.

1) How do I make the borders, grey in the middle and a green border for example.

2) I have inkscape, is there a way to center numbers in order to test out the double digit requirement?

3) How to make bonuses for more than 1 territory, a megabonus if you will which has 4-5 areas.


Thanks!

Make sure you carefully read the entire mapmaking wiki: http://wiki.warlight.net/index.php/Map_Making

A lot of the questions you asked are answered in there.

If you still have any other questions, feel free to ask!

1) You have to do that in the WarLight editor. Select the bonus you want and change the colour. The borders of the area`s in this bonus will become the colour you selected.

2) You will also have to do this on WarLight. Just press "set centerpoints" en click in the middle of the territory`s. than press "show army`s" and you can see if they fit.

3) Also in WarLight. Click a territory and you will see the list of bonuses you have. there is a little square in front of these bonuses. If you click one of them, the selected territory will be part of that bonus.

I think you haven`t uploaded the map to WarLight yet.

Go to the multiplayer tab and select "Design Map", make a map family and press upload SVG. Click on the SVG (wich is your map) and it will upload.

If you still have problems just post them :)

Here is some more help:

Thanks, I missed an entire section on the wiki.

As well as the design map I guess you're supposed to enable it, but have done all that so I'm good to go.

Cheers.

One more question for you fine folks.

The dimensions of the SVG are too large for the content produced so what I need to know is, is it possible to reduce the dimensions down to something more reasonable with the entire background/design?

When I change the dimensions to 900 width and 900 height, a little box changes, in size. Not sure HOW well I am explaining this, basically can I shrink everything I've done to that size?
