@Domenico:
I'm not an expert on the SVG file format, but to the best of my knowledge, file size depends mainly on the number of coordinates it has to store. Since the background is just a few points (with neat-looking splines between them, but still just a few points), deleting it probably wouldn't make much of a difference. (Making a copy of the original SVG, deleting the background and comparing file sizes would be a very quick process so, if Moros wants to, it'd be easy to verify this.)

@Moros:
Your own suggestion sounds good as well. It prevents the worst scenario of all (all your effort having been in vain), it keeps open the option to complete your masterpiece if (when!! :) ) Fizzer decides to relax the limitation on file size and we get to play on it while we wait for him to do so.

Ok, here's the Netherlands link.

So...., this means the end of one of the greatest maps ever?? :(

seems like :( i followed it for months every day i came here to watch how further you where with the map but it seems that it's just waste of time

i followed a bit too

Aw, this is a shame. I think you could still have done enough to maintain the Benelux Map.
Well, now that you've done this, I'll just focus on how to improve the gameplay. I think that if you edit some locations for harbours and airports, the map can still have a lot added value.
For example, I propose giving Maastricht a harbour, connecting it to Moerdijk.
I'll look at it more closely another time.

I second the suggestion to ask Fizzer for an exception on the file size rule. Things like this should scale pretty well, so unless there is some sort of technical problem with large map sizes, a limit 2 or three times as high shouldn't be too much of a problem. I don't know what the current size limit is, but I don't think it would become too much of a bottleneck if the file size was allowed to be higher (for this map).
On top of that, you have this map to show Fizzer, which should convince him that you aren't just trying to mess with the system, but just making one awesome map.

Besides, "niet geschoten is altijd mis".

or "nee heb je, ja kun je krijgen"

I too was waiting for this map for months.

If you wait and think about it`s possible that you`ll still find a good solution.
(om bij de spreekwoorden te blijven : "komt tijd, komt raad")

I'm writing this from London on a terrible computer:, so can t type much.



I believe you all misunderstood me. I'm not planning to quit working on Benelux, I'm just going to sstall it for a while, whilst I work on a Netherlabds version with the ports and airports, and the detial I wish in the Benelux map. Later, I'll make a Belgium map of the same concept. The Luxembourg map is already there.
But I'll not quit with Benelux, I'll write an e-mail to Fizzer until both NL and Belgium maps have been published. Then, if Fizzer sees that quality, he might relax the file klimit to allow me to combine the three maps into one.

And, as someone told me before, I know Antwerp is named Error on the NL map, that is because I wanted to show the rivers on the background, so I altered the current Antwerp territory so I wouldn't have to redraw the thing. But, I forgot to remve the ID, so Warlght reads it as a territory. That's why I named it Error, I intend to remove it as soon as I can acces the file, which would be by wednesdat.

Theabove text size is an error too :)

dus als ik het goed begrijp of gok ben je nu apart bezig met de kaarten Nederland en belgië-Luxemburg en daarna zet je ze samen?

Okay, now I've come to a conclusion.
I have been having some problems with this map lately, and I need to get off the computer for school and other things. So I'll have to stall this project, along with a few others.


BUT WAIT!!!
I have not said I will cancel this for ever, not after all the effort I and especially you guys have put into it. I **will** resume this project some day. I will finish this. But just not today. I have no idea of when I'll resume it, it can be next week, next month or next year. I just know I will some day, when I have more time, get on with this and finish it for once and for all.
If I have some spare time, I might make updates to either of the maps (Benelux or NL) but I'll not discuss new things here.

Whenever I feel like I want to resume this, I'll revive this tread, or make a new one if it got deleted already.

idd maar nu dat het toch 2dagen vrij is kan je een beetje verder werken aan de kaart ;)

Tristaneke, I know Moros understands Dutch but this is a forum, not a private conversation (even if you're only addressing him). Could you, out of politeness to the rest of the forum visitors, consider writing your posts in English?

I know it feels a little weird to speak English to someone who you know speaks Dutch, but it's good practice for the next time you and some friends are abroad (not counting the Netherlands obviously (judging by your name and choice of wording, I assume you're Flemish, right?)), but still want to make a good impression on the locals. :p

Back on topic, seeing how long Moros has been working on this map, I highly doubt two extra days will make all that much of a difference... (And that's ignoring the, pretty realistic, possibility he also has other things to do!)

yes im flemish and hopely is the map almost ready : ) can't whait

Just a little question: Are you going to include the NAP bonuses again. (I really liked them) and maby you can make a bonus of the Randstad or something like that.

Ow... I don't know how often you work on this map at this moment but there is a territory that isn't part of any bonus while it must be a part of Utrecht.
I like the name "This territory shouldn't be here, I'll remove it later" ;)

i just call error territories delete me

Something done with the map?
