dunbrine47 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd put this in the GTA V section but I am just drawing maps, not making up a game so I'm just going to put them here. This is the first version of this map: Using a map of Liberty City I worked my way out to include equivalents of the Bronx and Westchester counties in NY, New Jersey, eastern PA, Delaware and parts of Maryland. As I speak I am going to sketch out basic major highways. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcis_speed6 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 you should probably move to photoshop, is easier to make smooth edges Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/#findComment-1059824352 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's always cheaper and free alternatives like GIMP, Paint.net. Just google "photoshop alternatives" or something like that.

Rhoda Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 How would one even go about making their own maps? I find that in the past, whenever I've needed a map, I've took chunks of previous maps and just stuck them together. Horribly unoriginal and a bit tasteless to claim as your own.

Heh, that's not what I mean. I'm saying it's a bit off to say "yeah, this is my map bitches" when in fact all I did is cut San Fierro in half and turn it on it's arse. The only real criticism I can offer you is that Liberty City is the most distinguishing part of whatever form your map may take. I'm not saying it's going to be bad, but people are going to recognise the distinguishing shapes of Bohan and Algonquin instantly. That said, that comment holds no real water as it doesn't detract from your skills at all. Hell, you got further than me. What's the map for anyway? Just a hobby or do you have further plans?

dunbrine47 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Now for stage one. The major highways running through the map. Now to answer Masterkraft's questions about these maps. The Liberty City map I copied and pasted from the web (the name in the corner form where I got it is still there). The good thing about these types of maps is you can make a caricature of the landscape and get away with it. Now about the purpose of the map, for now it's just a hobby to kill some time with, but hey you never know.

EduardKoeleJuck Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I think it's great actually. The quality isn't really good (all you need is smooth edges, download GIMP, ffs), but the idea is great. Don't you see what he's doing? He's making like the real (Rockstar equivalent) US map.

Ats. Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Indeed, the idea is very good. Download Gimp, familiarize with the controls and create shiz. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/#findComment-1059825018 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunbrine47 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks for the feedback from all! For those who want me to use GIMP I do have it but I don't find it to my liking. I dunno maybe I need better instruction on how to use it or something.

dunbrine47 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 So I started to work on some cities for the map. (For the non numbered version check here: Map) Now on to give some visuals for the cities: 1. Paterson NJ 2. Scranton PA 3. Philadelphia PA 4. Baltimore MD/ Washington DC combo. 5. Dover DE Dover DE Don't let the photo fool you, this town also has a racetrack and a Air Force Base. 6. Salisbury Maryland I can't find a good photo for this place. 7. Ocean City MD 8. Atlantic City NJ 8.5 I took the casino at the top of Alderney and moved it to a more appropriate place. And that is it for now Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/#findComment-1059825285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunbrine47 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 If anyone is interested I have added some more towns, roads, beaches and airports. Look for the new version soon.

The Guru Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Looking very nice. Maybe change the color of the beaches to something more bright and yellowish. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/#findComment-1059832170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
txdeditor Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 But why didn't you download gimp ? It looks interesting, but still it's a bit LQ. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/443157-mid-alantic-gta-map/#findComment-1059832445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunbrine47 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 @ The Guru: I'll look into changing the beaches into a yellow that I feel does not clash with the map color scheme or makes you want to look away in horror. @txdeditor: I have GIMP, I just like paint.net better. ____________________________________________ Well that is it for now, I'll get the towns up eventually but for now anyone have suggestions for towns? I seamed to have gotten the major cities in the region so maybe I'll work on small towns or the clusterf*uck known as northern New Jersey.

dunbrine47 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Now I am going to explain the new towns. I am going to continue with a numbering system from a previous image in the topic, if you don't see an area numbered refer to the previous image. Now let's start: 9. Asbury Park NJ I can't find a sky shot of it but a lot of it is run down beach town from the past in a struggle to be gentrified. 10.(Typical Ocean County Beach Town) http://blog.nj.com/ledgerupdates_impact/20...and-beaches.JPG http://www.flyinphilsphotos.com/psw/photos/rsz_47.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2578/382790..._2e38b0e839.jpg http://www.surfline.com/travel/surfmaps/us...sideheights.jpg 11. Cape May NJ Can't find a good pic for this one 12. Lews/Delaware Beach Towns http://www.destination360.com/north-americ...ges/s/lewes.jpg http://www.georgetownair.com/images/225_bethany_web.gif 13. Camden NJ http://www.state.nj.us/dep//srp/brownfield...camden1_549.jpg http://www.wusa9.com/news/columnist/blogs/...8-46-771776.jpg http://www.teambuildinginc.com/images_cities/camden01.jpg 14. Trenton NJ http://pomomusings.com/wp-content/uploads/.../trenton-nj.jpg http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicv/vfiles21275.jpg[/img] http://personal.stevens.edu/~jstefano/Imag...renton%2026.jpg http://personal.stevens.edu/~jstefano/Imag...renton%2020.jpg 15. Lancaster PA http://pics4.city-data.com/cpicv/vfiles2560.jpg http://www.rejuvenatemeetings.com/wp-conte...ccexterior1.jpg http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/...98099858309.jpg I'll do 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 another time because I am going to have to find a lot of pics to explain these areas. P.S Sorry for no hyperlinks, the links were originally going to be images but I apparently broke the image limit and large posts like this drive me crazy.

dunbrine47 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 16. Staten Island 17. Long Island Broker, Dukes expansion. 18. Bohan extension and Westchester County 19. Bergen County 20. Newark NJ I'm going to focus more on the map for now. Sorry if you were expecting pictures.
