New Fallout 2 World Map

Interesting, but I would still prefer original solid green circles. The towns look great, it is big improvement.
 
If you're trying to make it fit to the map on FO1 then shouldn't you put V13, shady sands and V15 the right distance apart, the desert also needs to be a lot whiter. I prefer the circles in the second picture.

ps, the ruins you have added look f*&king ace

He's not trying to make the maps "fit" like a couple of puzzle pieces, he's simply trying to get the Fallout 2 map to match the Fallout 1 map's style more closely (and doing an amazing job).

The two maps can't "fit together" because they're on different scales. The Fallout 2 map is further "zoomed out", hence why Shady Sands and the Vaults appear more close together.

Not really correct. You can place the maps over each other very close. Its only a marginal difference.
But it's correct, that Mariposa, Vault 13, Shady Sands and Vault 15 don't fit with the Fallout 1 worldmap.
 
It would be an interesting exercise to scale both maps together - one large Fallout map. Would it be preferable to up scale the Fallout 1 map or downscale the Fallout 2 map! As well I would love the dotted trial line from Fallout 1 in Fallout 2. Has anyone worked out how to do this yet…?
I actually made a mega map of the Fallout world from a satellite image once…I will dig through my stuff and post it.
 
Well, I made my map with simply taking a satellite photo and placing the Fallout 1 and 2 worldmaps on it. Then you can pretty much see how good it fits. But as both maps are a bit shifted, I moved the Fallout 2 locations to different positions. Else the whole north east part would have been very empty.
 
It's used in FOnline: 2238, also I made a thread here once ago. :p

The map isn't perfect. There are a lot parts - especially in the north - that I don't like. But I just can't get me on to adjust or correct it or continue working on the worldmap at all...

/edit: If you don't want to download the 11mb file :> you can check out the overview of FOnline: 2238 in higher resolution.
 
Looks like you did a great job, but I have to admit map building isn’t particularly easy…the base map is the key. I don’t know why Fallout 2 uses a semi-real map; the first one was far more evocative. It seems like I don’t need to make a combined Fallout 1-2 map it’s been done…
 
Yeh, but my map could need some tweaks here and there. I appreciate every positive adjustment, especially when it comes to the "blunt" points in the northern part (as example, I don't like the area north of Modoc and south east of Vault City. Also the area south west of Den. They just don't look finished to me.) Ah yeah and the sector grid could be made better... heh. I have too much to critize. I'll guess it's because I made the map and I see the flaws a tad easier, or I am a kind of perfectionist and everytime when something is not really like it was in my mind, I go crazy on it...

Ah yeah and most important.. the northern east part is more or less "free imagined". It's not really based on real mountains. Was too hard to create, with my copy&paste work from the Fallout 1 worldmap. :(
 
Wow !

Ive never seen that picture before, I can only imagine how it would feel if the world of fallout 2 would be that big & include all those places.

Going from one place to another would really feel like an epic journey.
Especialy if the food/water/sleep/radiation system would fully work.

Damn ! that would be epic !
Bye !
 
As far as I know, pixotes new Fallout 2 worldmap will be an option in a future RP release. It makes no sense to add my Fo1 and 2 worldmap into the RP.
 
Any confirmation on whether or not a "complete" Pixote's map will make it in? I know they're all knee deep in other fish, but Pix did an amazing job and trying to get everyone's wishes on to that map. In either case you guys rule!
 
PM Killap – he’s the man…or bring it up in the RP thread, either way you can just download the files and replace the originals, easy. :wink:
