Bataille de Champaubert-satellite map elevations-Histwar Download Archives

[Théodoricus]

Après 3 scénarios en Europe Centrale, je souhaitais faire une bataille de la Campagne de France. Quelques scénarios pour la Peninsular War Group Mod plus tard, j'ai pris le temps de finir le scénario historique de la bataille de Champaubert. Mon projet est de faire aussi la bataille de Vauchamps lorsque les Prussiens seront disponibles.

After 3 scenarios in Central Europe, I'd like to do a battle of the Campaign of France. Some scenarios for the Peninsular War Group Mod later, I took the time to finish the historical scenario of Champaubert's battle. My project is to  do also the battle of Vauchamps when the Prussians will be available.

As usual Theo you have outdone yourself yet again !!
Great maps...I have given up for now to try to build one using your method.
Do you take requests...can We elect YOU to the official Elevation Maker of HistWar?
Do your talents come at high cost or are You fees reasonable mate?

Hi Joker Horseman zu Pferd,

Thanks for your congratulations.
I'm glad to have news every 3 months ! 
I wish a long life to your new computer, so we can read you more often.

EMH is not a napoleonic distinction.
Everyone have talent : it's just a matter of envy and will.
You say that you have given up for now to try to built those kind of map. Does that mean you have done one ? If yes, it's great. If not, I hope you will try again.
My friends of the Peninsular Mod and I have encouraged orendel to use Scilab programme to create map with satellite elevations. He succeeded and afterwards found it was rather easy to do.

HistWar has historical doctrines and OoBs and I believe it's better to create map with satellite elevations to be more historical too.

But I understand we also can create random or manual maps with special points so as to play some tactical and strategic precise objectives.

Best regards and a happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas to You Theo !

I did try...and I will again I got mostly lost when Google Earth updated their program
Now the points available to open are a few in a large map, and very slow when the
program is downloading all the elevation data.

...sadly I haven't even used Scilab once.
I'll get a techie to give me a hand/walk through

Now the points available to open are a few in a large map, and very slow when the
program is downloading all the elevation data.

Yes is 130 mega.
It is not difficult,but it is better to have a spreadsheet to facilitate the calc.
Not difficult but very long.A work precision.
It is enough wrong something in the calculations and do not work.
Do you want make with me a map with elevations, step by step ? (very long...) i followed the manual of brucepos.

Hi zu Pferd,

These days, when I go on Google earth, I can't obtain the data files. I don't know why !
What do you mean when you say that "Now the points available to open are a few in a large map" ?

Yes is 130 mega.
It is not difficult,but it is better to have a spreadsheet to facilitate the calc.
Not difficult but very long.A work precision.
It is enough wrong something in the calculations and do not work.

Hi Alfiere,

Do you mean that the files we can download now are different from those we used to have before ?
If yes, can you explain the difference ?

Regards,

Théo

My last work (Eckmul) was of 2 months ago.
I do not know if now are different and if different because are different.
130 mega is the converted text file without header.(very long to save).
I hope that now is still possible make  a map with reliefs.
