WHAT THIS IS




WHAT YOU NEED

1. Google Earth. Download it from here:
2. Europe Globe Build 4.01. Download it from here:

HOW TO ADD YOUR STUFF

Here's how you add your changes to the greater globe. In the Nations folder under the Europe Globe folder, you add a new folder for your nation. Go about it like this:




If you want to submit your changes to the community, go about it by right clicking on your nation folder, and then 'Save Place as'. Then save that file as Nation - Date (same format as in Google Earth) and upload it somewhere, for example 2shared. Then post it here using the following template:

Folder: Folder/Subfolder (in this case, NationS/Siyang)
Link to File: Link to the file you just created.
If this is a public (e.g. not nation specific folder, like borders): This is based upon the latest version of this file posted by XYZ here (link to post). Ignore this if you are the first to edit after a new version of the Globe was released.


Example .

If you edit something public and you are not the first to do so after a new version of the globe was released, you will have to download the latest version of the file as linked to by another player in this thread and edit that one to make sure that changes by all people are included. Your changes will not get accepted otherwise.

Make sure your pins are in the correct folder!

Make sure that the city pins are in your national folder. if they aren't, drag and drop them into there. It's easy, you will figure this out.

EuropeGlobe has been updated to version 4.01. New adopters will find that clicking on the link in the first post automatically gives them this version instead of the barebone version. Everyone else can simply download it by clicking . Before downloading it, delete your old EuropeGlobe entry by deleting the folder in Google Earth (make sure there is no unsubmited progress left you could lose), then simply open the new file and be set. Make sure to pull your new installation from "Temporary Places" to "My Places" again.

Actually the current update has some errors as people did not properly abide by the rules of including all previous changes. Please people, do this, otherwise I can't be reasonably expected to update the Globe since I can't go over copypasting all over your new entries manually.

Thanks. [MENTION=1187]Ivernia[/MENTION], can you redo your things based on the latest files by Ovi? Rivers and flag, that is.

I think this is right - if someone could confirm I am doing it correctly I would be most very grateful.

This is probably the most outdated map still in official use and I think it is time we cut the cord. The Google Europe Game maps were a cool innovation, but honestly, none of us have the time to keep them up to date. We tax poor Yanksy on the pixel by pixel map, I don't think we should force this far more complex version on anyone and return to the official map as being only the pixel by pixel flat map.

Officially thus, can we retire this map, and encourage personal maps to be made again? I'll spearhead a thread on maintaining a database of personal maps too if necessary.
