Nice work. I'll take a look when I've got a little more free time.
Glad it was of use to someone. If there was anything you felt needed more detail or not explained, feel free to either PM me or leave a post in that thread. |

Looks nice! I'd try it out but I have an exam tomorrow morning, and another one the day after.
Anyway, I've taken the liberty of hosting it for you, if you don't mind:

Keep up the good work! |

Do you mind if I submit this to the ASW add-ons section? so that it will be available to Mac users?

Wow, thanks guys/gals!
Those were some quick replies.

Overall, it was quite good..
I did notice while working on the travel_nodes.bmp that you can NOT have the map split down the middle by land.
Originally I had Indonesia almost touching the bottom, making that area unsailable...
It took me about two hours to figure out that although it is possible in-game to sail from the left of the map to the right by crossing over "the edge" of the bmp, the engine ignores this when connecting the nodes.
I'll try and post some pictures to explain better later

Groovy. I will get it up later today -- I can't do it now, as I am at work, and the proxy keeps me from getting there, but I will take care of it when I get home.

Hey ppl, if you try out this mod, I'm interested to know how it plays.
Thanks.

| The problem with mods is, there's no way to automatically install them from inside the game, and no easy way to install them outside the game (by that, I mean it's not a self-extracting EXE like, say, pre-Steam Counterstrike or Day of Defeat), so people often don't bother. And it's very rare for someone to open a server running a mod and find someone else joining. Mods are slow business :/ |

| I like it. You may want a screenshot of it zoomed all the way out with the territory tab on to show each playable country, it helps sell your mod. |

Hey, that's a great idea Sirthomasthegreat!
Unfortunately, I am now running in linux, so I can't use mods [since it's the demo version]... so if someone else wants to post one that'd be awesome!
Otherwise, I'll try and get into windows and take one some time this weekend.

| It's perfectly possible to use your key from the Windows version in the linux version, too, just as long as you're not using both at the same time. |

| Mods under Linux go in <defcondirectory>/lib/mods (not <defcondirectory>/mods ). |
