Hi all! I live in Tikhonkaya province (to the west from Khabarovsk) and i have found a bug in RUS map.
It must look like that.
[ATTACH]22712[/ATTACH]
But I don't know how to change rail and river positions (and i hope smbdy will do it)
So I made this
Without wrong names
[ATTACH]22711[/ATTACH]
And with more correct ones
[ATTACH]22708[/ATTACH]

Download:
Without wrong names
And with new names
Also, there are backup files in archives.
All suggestions are welcome! :thumbsup:

PS Amur wide as Angara and its possible to navigate there. River flows from Blagoveshensk and there is always way to move units fast on river.

Cool, such small mods are important. I also think local people have a much better understanding of an area, which can not be obtained by studying maps etc. I usually spot small mistakes in my area too, and they often bother me.

You should contact lodilefty or someone else from Ageod. If your changes is correct, your mod may be included in a future patch.

Hello HaHaeTs,

Your region's Graphics with proper railroads, river ways and names added/modified/removed are welcomed !
Just post here the final zip file with all of them, please.
I will then update the region database so that the game understand the Amur river "moved" north to Khabarovsk. And remove also the railroad movement from Karemyy region and add it in Smidovich.
I guess the Red players will be happy to find a new swamp region were to cut the transiberian railroad in the area... :neener:


About fluvial navigation on a little part of the Far-Eastern theater, i'm not sure we could do it : it is much more data and design works ...for just few regions and maybe not an accurate historical simulation (river navigation means inRUS rivership and gunboats units, ports, etc...and i'm not sure that the Amur small part displayed in the game deserve a design of the same level of fluvial industrialization and strategical interest than the Volga).


I saw also your proposal about flags : i'm very interested to have an other flag for the Eastern/Siberian Whites.
As you said, the Kolchak one's don't fit for the year 1918. And after all, since it is planed that the Kolchak Regency became a Political Option in the Politics Ledger.

So i'm looking for something like the Northern Whites or North-Western Whites sub-factions type : some images with the historical three-coloured Russian flag but with a specific little icon on the top left ...which could be the Siberian Regional Green and White flag.
If it is fine with you to help, all the MODed images needed to include it in the next patch will be welcomed too.

another bug - Smidovich named after communist guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyotr_Smidovich)
it was 'In' rail station
there was a huge battle between Blukher and Molchanov for this station
PS also there was battle of Volochaevka so its possible to rename 'Smidovich' into 'Volochaevka' (Or 'In', cuz its main railstation in region)
and amour swamps - there is a village Fuyuan
PPS i dont think that i can continue working untill 10th of june

About the font: For the Sesupe river that I had corrected (included in a patch; it was named a second Neman), I had copy the [color="#00FFFF"]blue bold letters[/color] from other rivers (png files), and tip them. But I didn't succeded in putting it on a very good background like you do; I had to blur it and damage the trees where the name was on (but it is seen only if we pay attention to this).

ERISS, at first i tryed to do that like you, but then i noticed that all rivers' names are in "times new roman" with 55-60% outlining (? i'm not sure about name of this tool in english version). what about background, i use clone stamp

Here is the mod (entire? just last part?) with missing colors: [ATTACH]23120[/ATTACH].
You may still prefer the white for the winterized regions..
Remove the _Blue and _Gray from the files.

Check if this is not already inside the Gold version. I don't remember precisely, but i know we tried to include it, but it may still have not all include. Graphics are really time consuming to MODify in the game.
