yep it's the only one that came with the dvd and manual, If you want the names of shores and jungles you have to buy the maps like { The Spanish Main } of the merchants
 
Yeah, it's pretty useless, IMO. I think I'm going to put together a real map, with all the names and stuff. Could you maybe post a scan in a really high resolution?
 
yeah scan it in 1200 something dpi resolution. I dunno if you can but that's a level of quality needed for printing a vertical bunting lol
 
I think the forum here will automatically reduce your pic 66%, but you can click on it for original size that you posted.
It did mine in another post and it was only 1024x768 original. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
I'll see what I can do as my scanner only goes to 600dpi, Presumably we all own on original game I'm surprised none hasn't done it before?
 
Well I used to have a scanner but it's been dead for a long time. Don't even know where it is, maybe I don't even have it anymore. What I meant is that I want to make a new item usable in the game that would have all the location places, and I thought I'd use the paper map as the base texture and just add more labels. I don't want to print a better paper map, I don't even use those, ever.
 
I started buying the maps off the traders and it was a real pain because AOP 2 crashes it you try to ctl+alt+del back to desktop, I would buy a map Equip it hit PrtScn exit out of game go to paint save it then use photoshop to add the names to the world map, I saved 25 maps so it mite take me awhile to do in the mean time during the day { it sunny } I've been altering a PC Tower case to fit an Amiga 600 into it and thats also a pain.










EDIT: Just discovered that some of the names on the maps that you buy of the merchants are completely different to the names when playin the game
 
Here is a nice new ingame map just for you guys.
This one is a much improved version of the "Old Map" that shows towns and their flag. I also doubled the resolution.
<a href="http://upright8infinity.110mb.com/u8i/map_1.zip" target="_blank">http://upright8infinity.110mb.com/u8i/map_1.zip</a>
Mirror: <a href="http://files.filefront.com/13941230" target="_blank">http://files.filefront.com/13941230</a>
Back up your original map_1.tga.tx file.
Extract this file and place it in your
\RESOURCE\Textures\INTERFACES\Maps\
folder. This will replace the "Old Map" that you can buy from any vendor right from the start.

This is not intended to be a cheat map, just much better for starting players.
I will also make another one that will replace the world map you can get later in the game which will have all locations including shores listed.

I have the russian version map. It is much better - besides being in color it shows the shores and bays and such. The only problem is... well the names are on russian:)

You can fix that by running the game in windowed mode but in the same resolution as your desktop. It'll technically be windowed, but it'll cover your whole screen and you can swich back and forth without any trouble.

You don't need to do that, the texture files are accessible in the resources folder, all you need is the TX converter tool, which you can find here on the forums.

That's horrible. Doesn't look like a paper map at all, and it's awfully busy with all those ships and clouds and stuff.
 
WHY in the world would you use "Print Screen"??? That's about like driving a 1919 model T ford in today's traffic. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Use "Fraps" and all you have to do is reset a key to take pics. I have them go to "My Documents" then send them to "Photobucket".

WHY would you take screenshots of textures at all when you can just open the textures?
 
Why would you use Fraps if you can press F8 in the game and you get a printscreen in TGA format in your main game folder? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/razz.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":razz" border="0" alt="razz.gif" />
 
Here's a scan of map at 8942 X 5968 <a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/249722324/map.rar" target="_blank">http://rapidshare.com/files/249722324/map.rar</a>

And the resion I didn't use fraps is because as Peter said easier to use PrtScn, On a side not fraps doesn't work properly with the game I tried it and the movie was like fast motion.
 
Awesome, thank you! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
No problems sordid, Also if anyone wants the in game maps that you buy off the merchants let me know and I'll upload them to rapidshare BUT they are VERY Inaccurate as far as the names of places go so the trails and cave locations could be too

Well Pieter if you want to take the trouble each time and go to your game folder and then get a TGA format ( But does this board accept TGA? ) and maybe change it to a JPEG ( at least to post on the boards and all boards are not the same for TGA or JPEG ) then that is your decision. I prefer to click on a selected key ( maybe not the same key in all games? ) and have Fraps deliver an already JPEG screenshot to "My Documents". I feel there is a lot less time digging for them. But as I said that is you business.

I use "Photobucket" and they will not accept a TGA, there uploads are only: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp.

So that means that I would have to change the screenshots to a JPEG anyway so why not have it done for me in a click of the key.Also no matter what game I play I can call the corner of the screen that I want with the FPS or shut off FPS. I've made several movies ( clips really ) of AOP2 and unlike the other fellow here I had no problem with the speed and they were only 30 FPS ( Small graphic card for now ).

You people do what you want, it' not my problem. All I said was WHY? And you all complained. So be it.

I just played a little bit of AOP2 and took some screenies using F8, went to the Game folder and the two screenies I took came out OK but the game printed them 5 times each. No I did not hold down my finger on the F8 key as that probably could cause that. Gee I could just see me taking 20 screenies as that would be 100 screenies. Oh well.


I kind of like this opening as it seems peacefull with the crickets chirping and the ship running light flickering. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" />
<img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/LoadingAOP2.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />

And here is one of my character going to buy a ship ( maybe ).
<img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/oleman/BuyShip.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" />


I do not think that my pics are all that great for I recently had a GF 7800 GT OC 256mg AGP graphic card blow and I'm resupplying with a new ASUS M3N78 PRO MB, 9600 GT OC 512MB, 680 Watt PS, 8 Gigs Ram ( all PCIe ). But for now I'm on my little backup GF 5950 Ultra 256 card with 2 1/2 Gig Ram ( AGP ) with a 19" I-INC LCD flat panal monitor. As of now I'm running 1024X768 which is easier on this graphic card and my small AMD Athlon XP3200 2.19 Ghz. All this will change soon.


So you people do it your way but Fraps IS a lot easier in the long run.

Haave a good day. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" />
 
I was just joking mate; if you like Fraps, why not use that? But the F8 button should also work. Just giving you another option. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
