Talk:Ultima VII map of Britannia

The Paper Map

Has someone tempted with the paper map? You know, moved the logo further up? That's because the one that I got has the logo on the same place as the one of the cloth maps. I shall try to scan the whole map (Is that even possible? My scanner is not THAT big.). --Arthgon 04:29, 3 January 2013 (PST)

It looks like our current paper map has been cobbled together from several different smaller images (the seams are pretty visible) so it's probably not entirely accurate, no. :) --Warder Dragon 06:25, 3 January 2013 (PST)

That's because I got the image of the paper map from the Ultima Collection, where it had been separated into four parts. I had to put it back together, but the mediocre quality of the map shows, especially where the parts fit (not so well) together.--Tribun 06:56, 3 January 2013 (PST)

Shall I scan my map, who was included in "The Complete Ultima VII"? I just hope that it will fit in my scanner. --Arthgon 07:04, 3 January 2013 (PST)

If you can do high quality scans, scan it in four sparate parts and I can then put it together into one map like I did with the new cloth maps uploaded recently. Unlike the Ultima Collection, that should work much better with self-made scans.--Tribun 07:07, 3 January 2013 (PST)

That new scan looks much better! --Warder Dragon 14:50, 3 January 2013 (PST)

I once got together w/Xe Dragon and resolved to make hi-res scans of maps. Then I'd do touch ups to remove blemishes and dedistort edges, but never got around to finding a table-top scanner. Maybe I'll actually get around to it soon. -Sigh- I love the artwork that is Ultma maps. The Ultra-Mind 08:12, 4 January 2013 (PST)

I had to scan the Ultima VII paper map in six parts to prevent that the edges and such were too distorted or blemished. --Arthgon 08:23, 4 January 2013 (PST)

And good thing you did, it made my job of putting it back together for processing so much easier.--Tribun 08:27, 4 January 2013 (PST)
