Map Making on Illustrator - Help: 5/28/2023 16:28:14

Hello,

I am trying to make my first map and after watching the tutorial I thought I was ready to go. I made the map using Adobe Illustrator, because why not, I thought the important part was the file format and naming and Illustrator should do the job with SVG exporting and layering.
Yet after uploading my map to Warzone this happens: https://ibb.co/whDdbLp. The map is totally broken and weirdly shaped. Connections aside, this is not how it should look.

I wanted to know how to fix the issue, cause I actually followed every step I could think of. This is the map: https://ibb.co/RzCcczg.

I basically organized the file to be on a 2000x1000 document. Every shape is a path. I removed the outlines just to see if that would fix the issue, but no. Otherwise, there would be a 1px broad outline around every territory. Naming conventions are Territory_1(and so on). I removed the cities and some river connections, as well as bonus rectangles, because if this isn't working there is no use putting them in now.

Is there anything besides naming appropriately, having all paths, and SVG format that I should know? On Illustrator I export as follows:
Styling - Internal CSS, Format - SVG, Images - Preserve, Objects IDs - Layers Names, Decimal - 1, OK.

Worst case scenario I just copy it to Inkscape, yet I find it weird not working on Illustrator. I tried different export settings but so far nothing worked..

Thanks and have a nice evening, or morning

Try getting it into Inkscape, it's free and open source. Warzone might be expecting a Inkscape SVG instead of plain SVG

Nope, WZ expects plain SVGs.

I suggest you join the map making discord (https://discord.gg/jde6Auzy) and ask there. Lionheart uses Illustrator as well.

Anything that makes decent SVG files will work, but most of us are using Inkscape because its free.

If you find a good free alternative to Inkscape, let us know, cause we've been looking for ages!
