I have the Brick Works map in PNG file (10MB). Can anyone here turn it into a VASL map for us?

Thanks.

Can VASL maps overlap? This map was designed to overlap the RB and DTW maps.

For example if row 35 on your Brickwork map equates to Row 1 on RB map then crop the brickworks map to A to JJ and 1 to 35 cropping to half hexes and they should line up (looks like maybe crop to 34 might work better)

The map has a one hex overlap with RB at the bottom and a 1/2 hex overlap with DTW at the top.

So if using the original RB vasl map cropping the Brickworks map to A to JJ and 1 to 34 (half hexes not full hexes checked) should work OK. If not have a play around

Rick has sent me an already cropped map for use with VASL. Shall I send it to you? Could you convert this one too?

By all means will do it later this evening. Which maps are you trying to line up with though there are at least 3 versions of RB and a couple of DTW. Let me now which Vasl maps you are ttrying to align to and let me have your cropped version and I can make that a vasl map for you

Lol - what I will do is work out the cropping required for the 3 different versions of the RB map and the cropping required for the latest version of the CH DTW map and post the required crops in this thread when I have worked it all out - might not be until tomorrow though as playing GTA V (always looking for GTA players to join our crew by the way) at the moment. The problem is the DTW map and the RB map have different hex A sizes some maps are full some are half hex and some are in between - so cropping will be required to line them all up.

My bad it seems although I did this map some time ago I neglected to upload it to mediafire - it is now available.

This is how to align the maps in Vasl:

Start new game with first map as CH DTW, add 2 rows and add maps Brickworks and RB in that order.

Crop CH DTW: A to OO and 1 to 40 ensuring crop to middle of hexrow checked

Crop Brickworks: A to JJ and 1 to 34 ensuring crop to middle of hexrow checked

If using the original RB map then there is no need to crop, but if using version 2 or 3 then crop A to JJ ensuring crop to middle of hexrow checked

As the original map works by cropping in Vasl I wont bother doing the cropped version as it may cause problems aligning with the different versions of the other maps.

Hi General Mayhem,

There has been three tweaks to the map. See the thread in the main section. Would you be willing to VASLize the amended map?

Sorry for the hassle.
