APPLYING FOR A MAP PLOT


Location :-
Name of Country :-
Name & Location of Capital :-
Pertinent Threads/Wiki :-

Prospective countries must have thirty or more posts, if this is a secondary country please list the primary and your reasoning.

INACTIVITY

Role-play activity will prevent deletion from the map, 60 days being the minimum for this map, though an announcement of departure in the Absence Thread will excuse a drop off of activity.

COLONIAL ENTERPRISE

All applications to expand one’s map spot, either territorial annexation or colonial establishments, need to support them through this application process. For colonial applications a link to the thread/s that establish the background and general out-of-character effort of the colony also need to be submitted.

WHAT THIS IS




WHAT YOU NEED

1. Google Earth. Download it from here:
2. Europe Globe Build 2.01. 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.

If I wanted to add geographic features other than rivers - place-names for islands and the like - how should I go about formatting this and what folder should the results end up in?
[MENTION=1908]Saamiland[/MENTION]: We haven't discussed this yet - likely under the geography folder though. What text size and color though - nothing established yet. If you have any suggestions for a stylesheet, by all means go ahead and introduce them and they can be added to the list of official styles.

Does this mean that I have to upload a map a.s.a.p. because otherwise I loose my map spot? Please be patient with me, because I really don't have much time.

I have a problem. I installed Google Earth on my computer, but up to now I didn't get it working. It keeps complaining about my version of DirectX, although I upgraded it to the latest version and restarted my computer. I tried to start it in OpenGL mode as well, but then it complained about my graphics card. Could anyone please help?

I was thinking of that as well, but a new laptop is currently only an option in the case of an emergency (i.e. if my current desktop breaks down). I won't go into detail about that.

I am currently installing DirectX SDK of June 2010. Hopefully that will do the job.

Does Europe Global Build work without Google Earth?

Such things happen, sadly. It's pretty slow for me, too, but you could always try the program "Game Booster" it might help.

Thanks for the tip. Meanwhile, I discovered that somebody else had the same problem as I have. Please see . The remedy for me was to take an older version of Google Earth. Please see .

By the way, something must have happened to the file "Europeglobe2.00.kmz", which I downloaded from the link in post 1 of this thread. Please see for a screendump: .

EuropeGlobe has been updated to version 2.01. 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.

Please remove properties description from the 'pin' label "Nichtstein" (north of the country), as the information described is no longer of actuality. Or remove the pin altogether for simplicity's sake.
