FoT - Huge US Map For You :)

FieroGT42

First time out of the vault
I only started playing FoT relatively recently after being a huge fan of the first games, and I'm considering making my own "campaign" that I hoped to have a more open feel instead of jumping directly from one assault to the next.

If anyone cares to have a copy, I have a topographic map that I fiddled with to make it look similar to the original fallout maps. It's a shot of the US including a small sliver of Canada, a good chunk of Mexico, and some good ocean area as well, totalling a little over 4000x2000 pixels. :D

It already had bright pink US state borders, so I toned them down to a green, (originally I guessed at a dull amber that unfortunately matched the grid that FoT adds, so you could no longer distinguish the two). I did a couple of quick things in Photoshop to give the water an effect that I think goes with the map pretty well. The water sort of reminds me of the DefCon look :D The mountains also already had really high contrast, but maybe I can do something to tone it down without it being too obvious. I can do a better job if anyone is interested in making a serious project with this map.

The Photoshop formatted image, for your own editing pleasure, with a separate water layer is about 40MB, 13.8MB in a UHarc archive (because it's way smaller than RAR, Zip, or 7-Zip can do). The png format ready to import into FoT (256 indexed colors) is 2.62 MB.

I'm looking for some free file hosting service because I don't have a website anymore...
 
The border lines still clash with the grid it would look a lot better without them. Checkout the maps done by Corpse.

Plus you might want to reduce the png by 50% imported into a cam file you'll end up with a campaign map nearly 10mb (with a 75x75 grid), modders really need to keep an eye on filesizes for releases. It all adds up.
