While I'm thinking about it, I want to cross-link the (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1788546#post1788546) Gorinchem vs The City map to here.
So if you guys ever put up a page of City maps, it would be fun to have it in the collection too, and it'll be easier to find ITT.

Hee. I'd looked at the Googlemap of Gorinchem before, as possible source material, but thought it a bit small for our purposes. Nice work on it, though! Sweet matchup job.

Thanks. It was just for fun, anyway.
(Although it does pull in favor of moving the Cathedral a bit south like I always wanted. But whatever, not a big deal and I'm happy where you guys placed it anyway, in keeping with the City fiction.)
But isn't it a little crazy how well some things match up?
Every site I looked for had an obvious double; it's hard to imagine another site. But some things were just crazy right on, I mean to the T -- the Cathedral (of course), Constantine's, Bafford's, Shipping & Receiving & the Docks (a marina), Rumford's, Shoalsgate, just south of this image there's really a "mansion" on an "Overlook" island, Truart's, the Castle site, St Edgar's, the Operahouse. But, the kicker that I love: Soulforge is now a long, grassy park, lol. Exactly where it should be. Viktoria's handiwork still exists to this day! :D

Has anyone taken a look at the map from CoSaS: Mission X? Not necessarily as a definitive source - Digi has already said that they forked off in a different direction from the Mapping project early on, and haven't tried to reconcile the games - but as a distinctive 'look' for our Map.
I mean, it is a thing of beauty, and resembles the in-game streetmaps we find in the earlier games. I'd like to heartily recommend it as a template; Digi's sent me some details on how they did the map, as well as some of the source files.

And to that end, I wonder how much farther the map has gotten in the past month. How about a little update, Morbus, old buddy old pal? HmmMMM? :weird:

The map looks really nice. But should I be able to interact with it? Nothing happens when I click on it.

I've been concentrating to my school skills test lately, I should have time later this month.
all: Well, depends on the client (browser or stand-alone svg-viewer) what kind of controls are available to you (in Safari I can zoom in with command-+, pan with moving mouse when holding mouse button and pressing shift, etc.). But I have been thinking scripting some kind of interactions to it (pre-defined views at least).

...is how it's written on the Talisman map in the Keeper Chapel, and the hand-drawn map for Assassins! has it as one word. I'd go with what the Keepers say, in this instance.:D
Unless we consider the spelling on the hand-drawn map to be up-to-date.
