Greek Wars planning maps available


Above is the map for Marathon from Greek Wars. All the rest can be viewed by clicking on the Planning Maps tab on the page.

I was able to fit in this update between working on another unrelated project- further maps for the other titles will be posted after the completion of that project.  Stay tuned.

New Look ...and an idea, plus an update



1st off- introducing the blog's new look (if reading off of the webpage --- I'm talking about the new format if you were to click through).

It does have its downside- in that, for whatever reason, you can't post links on this style of blog (well a widget with a list of links to, say, other blogs -as is commonly done by many bloggers.

Chelco, over at his blog, Real and Simulated Wars, has written a review on Tigers Unleashed . It got me thinking of writing something along the lines of reviewing a review. While I haven't played TU, nor do I think I will get a chance to do so anytime soon (basically it just arrived at my work queue... and there are too many others that also deserve my time as well)... I do know that the author spent a good deal of time with that product -which is in stark contrast to writers that are so interested in being first out with a 'review' that is heavy on snarkiness, but extremely shallow on content.  In short, if you are looking for a review on any sort of product; if it were me, I'd read it off of Chelco's site. (The same Chelco, who is making me jealous of his armoured sims... confession, I am an 'old tanker' from the Battlezone days.).

All of which brings me to the queue(tm) -the above map is from Roman Civil Wars, as I have completed work on the planning maps for that title. I'm currently working on maps for Greek Wars (none of which have made the web page yet, but I do have what I got done available in the Gallery. Incidentally, the above map is of Philippi.

One big advantage that working with these maps has, is that it always gives me a good look at the map, as well as how the graphics are assembled to form the larger picture (in other words -gets me thinking on modding methodology). I was playing around with my friendly image editing software, with the water hex images, and noticed that in the Ancient Warfare series, that there is never a hexgrid superimposed over water hexes. During the time when I had been wondering about what I might have done wrong (e.g. was my water hex size off, was I overlaying the hexgrid somehow, etc...) I was also wondering about the precise hex dimensions of the series- or more accurately, how to work out what it was, when I eventually made the above observation about the water hexes, and also realised that a simple screenshot with the hexgrid showing -if one were to blot out the contents of the hex -presto -you have the dimensions... that this was probably the way to go.  So, despite not having a schedule for working on a 2D zoom in mod for this- this was some important leg work to have accomplished for me.

I've still yet to create page banners, and similarly to how I handled the work for the Napoleonic Battles series, I will probably just make a post here when work is finished.

I do have to add, though, that for the moment, I have been given a higher priority project from my boardgame work, so there will be a bit of a pause while I work over on that material (best project at this point is about 2-3 weeks.). Unlike HPS/JTS, I get work while projects are in development for SPW ...and SPW has one that they want out this (northern hemishpere) Summer. I might spend some time writing about that a little later -but you know those wargame series (board games) that had a number of smaller scale games that were intended to be added up into one big picture of a war (in this case the First World War)? Well, this product is the game that ties up a lot of smaller scale campaigns/fronts into World War I in Europe and the Middle East at the division level.

Napoleonic Battles section -done

http://hist-sdc.com/spotlights/series_nb.php








All pages feature campaing maps, as well as links to the original 'Getting Started' files (for reference purposes), and Notes files. In some cases, I have converted .hlp files to .pdf files. At some point I will edit in reading lists.


The next project will be building an Ancient Warfare series set of pages ( as well as restructuring what information that I have on the site). Look for that in the coming weeks.

Happy Christmas from Down Under

...and while it is nearing midday in Oz, and so to have an excuse to make a post, I have an early present for the NB community; early in the sense that I was working out of my designated order to finish this one.

I present you all with the planning map to Campaign Jena (in 3 different sizes to suit your level of immersion).





  •  Small  ( Slightly over 1 mb)


  •  Deluxe      (Warning - Deluxe is a full sized, 2d zoom out gif file running at approx 77 mb).



It was a bit like climbing Mt Everest (and mind you if one is prone to typing too fast, -be careful to note that the 't' is right next to the 'r' - it changes the meaning of the sentence radically :D ); but for now, the rest of the series maps should be a breeze. ;)

...and to all a good night.

ST  -over and out. ;)

Progress Report - Campaign Austerlitz and a bit more

At the moment I am stuck into the Campaign Austerlitz planning maps. I have a few done, have started on the new page (which also has included taking a few more screen shots).

But, when dealing with NB series planning maps, I have the idea that you are only defined by the largest map you can do... so, I sort of let the Campaign map from Jena jump the queue. I haven't assembled it yet, but I do have all 84 screenshots that it will take -this one is the largest current map in the NB series, and things will really start rolling now. I will probably give in to temptation, and put it together possibly before finishing off Austerlitz's maps -and then share it in here.

I should add, that 84 screenshots is 7 h x 12 v -in 2d zoomout; for zoom in- it would be double that (I doubt I have the hardware to do that one at this point, so I am not going to try it).

Campaign Leipzig planning maps done -Austerlitz on deck

Campaign Leipzig planning maps - (2nd tab)

There are still about 3 or 4 medium sized maps that I haven't done (but these are basically submaps of some of the larger maps), as well as some of the smaller maps which I was not going to do as the scrolling is relatively minimal. 

I did the 5 CL level maps in 3d zoom in, and may come back and eventually do others in that resolution as well (including those mentioned above).

To a person with a moderate amount of exposure to miniature gaming, it is pretty obvious where the 3d maps have drawn their inspiration from - but then again I suppose one has to have had exposure to wargames in a few different mediums.

Next up: - Campaign Austerlitz maps (Moravia will be first) and creating that title's material in the current site format, then Jena, and then the rest will follow shortly.








Sun, 11 Dec 2011 06:14:00 +0000

Working on:



Frankly there is a lot... so it becomes a matter or prioritisation.

1st off: Campaign Leipzig planning maps -I am in the process of cropping the Berlin Operational map file from the game, and will be ready to assemble it shortly (probably today in fact). I had to make an executive decision on these, so I decided to go with the 2D zoom out mode. I may come back and try them at 2D zoom in mode at some later date, however the fact of the matter is that quite a few of the larger maps would run in the range of 200+ mb per image -and I do keep some stats on the page. No one has ever downloaded anything quite that large. The smaller maps should be in the 40-50 mb range (still large images, but a little easier to get). Since this is an ongoing project, I will add the maps as they are created. 





I also have a lot of work to do within the series, so I will be creating similar material for the other titles of the series.


Full sized Berlin Operational planning map

2nd off: Tigers Unleashed -I have a few more screenshots from the page HPS posted (uncharacteristically these were different than what was released in the Press Release).

Also, I should add that I found when installing the software, and using a custom install location (in my case switching to a different lettered hard drive), that the program creates another folder called HPS Shared which gets installed under the C: drive. I had run into a "can't find" error, (in my case for the maps). I seem to have fixed this situation by cutting this file (HPS Shared) and then pasting it into where I had installed the Tigers Unleashed folder. Although I am not going to claim that I have had time to learn the software, that might be of assistance to some users.

On another note, I plan on adding in screenshots for the map tiles that come with the program. I say 'tiles' as these are what can be used in geomorphic map creation (although TU is not limited to these).

3rd off: Roman Civil Wars -actually in thinking of this series as a whole, I need to a fair amount of work on it. Part of the issue I have is that I haven't found the time to learn the system properly. I do believe that I have the gist of the overview of things, and I have only reinforced that opinion by reading more on miniature gaming. At any rate, I plan on eventually working on screenshots of the map images (and will dig around to see what other things I can come up with). However, I think, in this case it will ultimately end up working on material for all of the titles for the series in one go.

Larger size Ulm Campaign map available

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 05:54:00 +0000

SDC's Napoleonic Battles planning maps



 I had been working on a planning map for Campaign Austerlitz's Ulm Campaign and started this maybe a week to 10 days before Leipzig was released. Part of the challenge for me is seeing if I can get these done, and this particular Ulm one was (iirc) the largest map included with Austerlitz. My screenshot dimensions are 1894 x 930 pixels, and this map at 2D zoom out was 12 columns x 19 rows of screenshots (although I didn't bother to include the hexfield in the blank area -so technically the math came out to 12 x 19 - (say) 15 or so - or over 200 screenshots. Mind you I did these saved as jpgs instead of bmps (which I should probably have done so).

The good news... I got it assembled and it looks fairly good (although some of the mountain areas -well, I want to probably give it another shot some time while using bmps and see what happens). It is probably a moot point anyways, as the image is a 207 mb jpg or 234 mb gif file. At first I reduced the size to 1600 px on the long side and have posted that at: http://trauth116.com/gallery3/var/albums/Map%20Screen%20Shots/Napoleonic%20Battles/Campaign-Austerlitz/ulm_campaign_a.jpg?m=1322890879
I also decided to go with the long side dimension that Bill Peters used on his Leipzig planning map from his recent title (9430 px). That one looks pretty good, although I did not add in the label text as Bill did - my Ulm campaign map image came out to a shade over 43 mb and will get that posted to the site when I update the Austerlitz page (which should be shortly although I am probably going to take a crack at the Leipzig maps first).

Yes, I have been avoiding the NB planning maps ( :-) ), especially Bill's as it is pretty clear that he is a big believer in giving buyers a lot of bang for the buck. His maps are pretty big and tax my hardware, but boy they are sure worth the effort. Stay tuned more to come.

Campaign Leipzig released... HPS announces 2 for Pre-Sale

Monday JTS released Campaign Leipzig, covering the Fall 1813 campaign, for sale.SDC will refine the material as time goes on. Specifically I have in mind doing map screenshots along the same lines (2d zoom in) as I have done before. These will be pretty big files, probably about a couple of hundred mb's apiece. I will try to make a few sizes available over time.



And at the same time HPS has announced the impending release of 2 titles (both available on Friday,  9th December 2011).

Romans Civil Wars, an Ancient Warfare series title and Tigers Unleashed, an early war WWII Eastern Front tactical title (Eastern Front being Poland 1939, Russo-Finnish War, and Russia 1941-42).



More info on the HPS material after they become available (mainly because I don't have either).

The Random Image

Currently this only applies to the webpage (although in thinking about it, I will try to remember to add that here as well -just a little bit of dynamism to the site).

It comes from the Gallery on the site, however I haven't been able to work out a way to get this feature to point to specific folders -therefore, the image you see there is pretty much anything. Want to see something different, just hit 'Refresh' or 'F5'.
 ___

Progress update, got screenshots down for planning maps for 'The First Blitzkrieg' and 'War on the Southern Front'. I got the maps done for 'TFB', and about ready to get into coding that title's new page shortly.

The Return of Digger History (the site)



There is a great resource site base out of Australia that talks about all things Australian military history ( ANZAC as well iirc). and for awhile it seemed to have disappeared.

During a search recently, the site (or a significant portion thereof -since I have never looked at the entire site before -so am not now in a position to declare definitively), has been archived by the Pandora Archive (which is an Australian library initiative).

Digger History.info archived site. 

Posted for users' reference requirments (or just plain surfing).

Why have a store?

To clear up what may be a misconception, neither HPS Simulations, or John Tiller Software pay for SDC's hosting; they do provide material to be worked off of, but I bear all of the costs of hosting, and eventually domain registration. While I create and use official material from both HPS, and JTS, and have a relationship with them, the SDC site is a fan site, or maybe more accurately, a fan site where the focus is on providing and creating value-added material such as Planning Maps to users.

All commission money earned through this will be used to pay for SDC's hosting.

SDC's Amazon.com affiliate:


Technically, the SDC store is really more of a grouping of affilitiate accounts, where if you buy, say, a book using a link back to Amazon.com, then the site earns a commission on the purchase price. The price you pay is still the same, but Amazon diverts a cut of their profit to SDC, as being the referring site.

What's even better, is that it doesn't matter if you buy the product directly from Amazon.com or one of Amazon.com's resellers. So say, there is a book that you want, and it is unavailable, out of print, or you just are ok with a used book, all of those sales count for SDC's commission from Amazon.com.

The content of the Amazon.com affiliate store site is only limited to the products sold through the Amazon.com site- which means, in effect, it is virtually unlimited.

*** An important consideration, is that the store site only lists a price when the item is in stock at Amazon.com. If there is no price listed, it only means that Amazon.com itself is out of stock for a particular item. In most cases, the item will still be available at one of Amazon.com's resellers -so go ahead and have a look, you just might find a bargain... and at the same time help support Scenario Design Center.
Cafe Press' Scenario Design Center Store:

This site features the artwork of your humble webmaster, Steve Trauth -me.

Like the Amazon affiliate area, anything purchased through the Scenario Design Center Cafe Press store earns a commision for the site, and that commission will all go towards paying the hosting expenses of the site.

Since artwork files suitable for Cafe Press' products need to be larger (in many cases, much larger), than the material I created for the website, it will mean that the product range I have on offer will gradually grow over time.
Donations:

All monies donated will be used for the hosting expenses of Scenario Design Center.

Currently (as of Sept 2011), this comes to about US $100 per year, and that with the traffic generated by SDC in any given month, if everyone that visits donates 10 cents on their first visit in a month -then the entire site's hosting would be covered for the year.

Some important points, all of this is entirely voluntary, and the Donate button works through PayPal - frankly, I don't want your credit card details ... ever. You keep them.

And it is also the reason for the SDC Store and Cafe Press Store - so people can also have something tangible for showing their support for the site.

I appreciate your continued use and support of the site :) ~ST

Presenting the Squad Battles Area







The SB area is now completed; the following is a walk-through of the features on each page.

First off, there is a series level page  - complete with navigation, just click on the bar near the top of the page. I also added a new set of button choices over on the left. The purpose of this page is to highlight key aspects of the series (admittedly, as taken from the user manual), such as scale, unit types, etc...

Each individual title also has its own page, with the following features:

Original Press Release:  This is more or less, what each company has on their own page. It was included as a reference point. I used a semi-modified layout that is consistent with the style the JTS site uses. Note that the JTS site has room for 12 screen shots, although some of the earlier titles used somewhat less, as well as screen shots of varying sizes. These might get addressed in the future, but is basically when I have time for it.

Planning Maps: I left off the smaller maps (generally if a map file is under 10 kb, I didn't create a map for it. These can be used for scenario design, planning moves, or just something to see what is available for any given product. I used the stock graphics, although at some point when I am done with everything, maybe I'll go back and do a few using some mod art (but only in situations where SDC has a working agreeement with the modder).

Book List: Mostly these are books listed in the Designers' notes files, although in some cases, I listed books that came out after the publication of titles. The links all point to the Amazon.com affiliate account SDC has, and anything generated there will go towards the hosting costs of SDC. I also know that there are a lot of books listed in the notes that are in the public domain. At some point, I may add links to some of these as I find them, although at the moment I am satisfied with the info included on the SB sites -so that is more of a long term prospect, as opposed to anything immediate. Note that there were no bibliographies listed for either 'Red Victory' or 'Advance of the Reich', I might add something -or just leave it be.

Game Documents/Misc: Game Documents are generally the designer notes, scenario list, getting started (note that these are included for reference only -the most current title will feature the latest material from the current series engine), and map list (which were available in some of the older titles). Occasionally there will be more than this, when the designer has included extra material, such as the info included in Dien Bien Phu regarding scenario design. Misc- this might include links to books that I know of (per mentioned above - the public domain material, at this point I think it might be largely info available from the US Army and Marine history units; it might also end up in a separate tab over time.

____________________________________________________

-What's up next? SDC will be working on the 'Storefront'; the page is already available, although I will be fleshing out the categories with a wide range of material. Then I will go on to working on some other material; at this point, I think this might be to complete a few other series' sections where there aren't so many titles - just to get further down the track.

At some point I will have to do some housekeeping on the AAR Blog; there are a number without images now -and that one is entirely on me, as I did not insist upon these images being hosted on site ... and well, if the site where images were hosted goes and changes focus, sometimes some folders just plain go away. It is something that needs to be cleaned up; however too I do have an AAR that needs to get posted, and for all I know, I might even write one myself, of an aborted match I had in Campaign Waterloo earlier this year.

That's all for now ...

SB Area... nearly done, and other stuff

I am nearly done working on the Squad Battles' titles for awhile. All I have left are to add some reading lists for about 6 titles. I got individual banners in place for all of the pages, and switched the planning maps areas around so that they are smaller (will load faster), and all on a single tab as opposed to multiple ones as I had had them before.

That being said, some of those graphics are not much more than labelled place holders, and if anyone spots a glitch, like a misplaced flag (particually the Spanish Civil War one), please drop me a line and I will get that fixed.

The site's next project will be to talk about the Donate button, and the Store Area, plus develop those areas. What I have on the site right now, will change a little when it is all said and done; the current button will point to what basically amounts to a portal to some affiliate sales accounts that SDC has set up, with the goal of supporting the hosting costs for the site.

The Bardia banner... that is really just a placeholder for now. I do plan on writing some historical articles at some point, and Bardia will be one of the topics, another one will be the Long Tan (August 1966).  Ideally these will be tied into either planning and/or actual scenario design. The above 2 battles, being ones with some Australian content. There'll be others as well, it just so happens, that those two right now are a little fresher in my mind, having just read about them both recently.

That's it for now. :)

-ST

And over at Wargamer.com... An FIW graphic mod feedback request

Over at Wargamer.com, 'Earl of Warwick' has been posting samples of a French and Indian War graphics mod he has been working on for some time.

http://www.wargamer.com/forums/posts.asp?t=561934&p=4 

He's put a lot of effort into this project and is looking for some constructive feedback; Wargamer.com is a site that requires a log in to post, so if anyone, not a member there, would like to have feedback passed along, please feel free to post it in the comments section here and I will make sure it gets posted there.

At the moment, I was lucky to fit in this post the way things have been going around my end of the world, so maybe I might get around to it - but just in case I don't- well... one thing I have learned in doing web design work... there can  never enough feedback :).

Head Down Keyboard Clacking ... or: Work, Work, Work

The site continues to evolve.  I won't bore you with the details yet, until it is ready.  However, I want to take a second to showcase a new feature here - the Search SDC function.

If viewing this one the SDC site- have a look at the next tab over.... type in your search item - and ouila- you got info ... even stuff you may not be aware of what might be on the site.

Of course, that isn't all I have been working on - but that is all that I am talking about right this moment. ;)

Squad Battles: Red Victory designer calling for feedback.


I saw this over on the Blitz site ( theBlitz.org ) yesterday. Ozgur Budak, the lead scenario designer for Red Victory is requesting feedback about his last title.  While I haven't been in touch with Mr Budak, an educated guess is that he is working on an update to Red Victory.




Feedback needed for Red Victory

Guys,
I am compiling a list for data and parameter tweaks for a possible RV update. I already have a check list. Just wanted to hear your voices here about the problems in dats and parameters.

Former posts pointed out a couple of issues:

- Soviet M37 illumination round has no indirect fire flag
- Soviet Fog41 Flamethrower has 0 range.

Anything else?

Oz

Even if you don't have access to the Blitz, - feel free to drop a comment here (meaning the blog -since when writing this I managed to forget that I have the feed running on the home page of the site ) if you have any and I will pass it on over Ozgur's way ( or alternately, if you know his email address - I don't think he'd mind if you dropped him a line about it).

SB: Falklands -and an update



By now, I imagine that most users here will have heard that on 6th August 2011, John Tiller Software released a new Squad Battles title, Falklands.

There is an accompanying site on Scenario Design Center/Centre. Although I haven't had the time to come up with a banner -so I slapped a generic placeholder one on there.

http://hist-sdc.com/spotlights/sb_falklands.php

When creating map images, I generally go for the largest .map file within a given title.


The Port Stanley map here, is comprised of 88 total screenshots of roughly, 1893 x 930 px -I've made two versions of the map - one at full-sized 2d zoom out mode (which is an 80.5 mb download), and a smaller one that is roughly the size of my monitor (turns out -that was wrong- as I didn't account for what part of the res that my browser was using -but... well, I can resize it later a bit -still pretty impressive in terms of size).

______

On another note, it looks like the next pages to get updated in the new format are going to be France '14 then Red Victory (of which I still have some map images to put together for anyways...).

Not sure what I am going to do about Greek Wars, as I was thinking of seeing if I could put together some maps for that -but so far I haven't expiremented with that series to see how feasable it is.

Anyways ... that is where things currently stand in the "SDC Universe".




Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:05:00 +0000

What the (blank) is that favicon?

Ok, first off -the favicon, is the little graphic in the address bar by the url.

And now, just what the heck is that blob on the SDC site?



The Ft-17... actually -this Ft-17, resized to a 16 x 16 px image.

Ok, why?  Well there isn't any reason, other than I was working on this graphic for my SPW project. I am also the webmaster of  SPWGame.com


Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:43:00 +0000

Behind the Scenes...

As is probably obvious by looking at this; this is going to be the new look for the site. It is still being worked on, of course, and I will be adding additional graphics as time goes by.

This is just the front of the site, the rest of the site still looks and should work as it had previously.

I decided to go with this format, as I had had some success designing the SPW (Schroeder Publishing & Wargames) site recently. It is more flexible and uses space more efficiently, plus it rescales easily, as per users' browser controls.  It does work best with wide-screen monitors, although there is a fixed limit as well (of about 1200 some odd px wide).

I've had requests to add links; at this point I am limiting my link useage to sites, where I have some connection or relationship with.

Any feedback ( positive, negative, changes needed, repairs needed), please feel free to mention it. :)

~Steve
