Re: [Rails-devel] 18EU: Background Map submission (revised version)

[Bill R. <ro...@gm...>]

Here's another attempt, as I have a copy of Adobe Illustrator, so can convert the PDF to SVG -- in theory without losing anything.  Let me know if this file is readable on other systems (I've tested it in Safari and it seems to work fine).

I've also removed some of the 'unnecessary' elements, such as the income track, the hex numbers (since Rails will also display them?).  It's easy for me to leave things like hex-numbers on the map, if desired -- creating this file took literally about 5 minutes, so I don't mind making other versions.

Note that this file is *not* my artwork: I've just taken John Tamplin's PDF and converted it to SVG.  He probably doesn't mind, since he's distributing the PDF anyway, but this might be something to think about regarding other games.  I can also re-draw some of the other maps that we don't have PDFs for, but they won't look exactly like the printed versions do, and this will take more time.

I can take a look at displaying this in Rails, but I'm likely to be busy for about the next week, so I can't make any promises regarding timeliness.
