Update 97 - Penelope River South Bank

This was a busy week of learning how to do new things inside and outside of Sim City 4.

First, I learned how to use some workarounds to make true diagonal neighbor connections. This will greatly improve future border composite pictures!

Second, I learned how to do scallable vector graphics for my street map, so now (at least on new map tiles) you can zoom in as much as your browser can handle and everything will look crisp and sharp (make sure zoom levels are multiples of 25. A zoom level like 110% will cause gaps to appear between the map tiles).

Well, I thought there would be a third thing. I guess not! So here is a new area I reworked. The City of Martin south of the Penelope River. I shifted over I-55 and I-80...originally I had it overlapping S 32nd St.

Industrial area between I-55/I-80, South 32nd Street, and a rail line.

You are here. I zoomed in to take this snapshot of the map and you can see the contrast between the SVG areas and the old JPG areas.

I hope you enjoy the updated map (do you like the rail lines? What about the font sizes? What information would you like me to include on the map?). I'm still getting the hang of use Illustrator to do all the things I pretty much got down to a science in GIMP. I'm excited to show it off, though!

Check out the District of Wenzel Street Map to get an idea where we are. This is A NEW LINK as the old LINK was dead!
