The background map can now be activated in the configuration menu in the Map/Report section. The required changes are summarized below for future reference. I will move this example to the wiki with some more instructions on the configuration menu. Stefan To be supported in the configuration menu a new entry requires the following: A) An XML definition in data => Properties.xml B) A default value in data.profiles => default.profile C) A menu text in LocalisedText.properties Prefix is Config.label. followed by the property name For this example here: A) <Property name="map.image.display" type="BOOLEAN" /> in section UI B) map.image.display=no C) Config.label.map.display=Display background map On Tuesday, June 07, 2011 06:04:37 pm Erik Vos wrote: > OK, I have committed the current code, which includes an SVG background > map for 18EU (contributed by Bill Rosgen, IIRC). > > To enable seeing the map, one entry needs be added to your custom > my.properties file (I haven't tried to update the configuration menu yet): > - map.image.display=yes (default no, in which case everything works as > before). > > I have included Bill Rosgen's patch to highlight selected hexes somewhat > differently.
