"Pre-assembled" skirmish maps

By ibsh, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Hmmmm... When I try to pull up the new wave maps from your website, I get errors. Is anyone else experiencing problems or is it just me?

Works fine for me.

Yeah I get the little black box.. nothing appears...

I don't know what black box you mean, but they're pretty big jpegs; over 10MB a lot of them. Maybe try a different browser? Working fine for me.

Well I will be darned. Last night it came up as a black box with an white X in it. it works now. weird.. Thanks by the way.

Same, works now!

Amazing work, as ever. Just wonderful! Thanks so much, Ibsh.

Awesome work.

I did this with the Core and Wave 1.

You scanned before popping them out, though, whereas I scanned after having used my pieces a few times, so yours look much better.

Plus you removed the jigsaw, which is nice.

I'm printing modified versions of yours atm. I selected the black and contracted the selection by 30 pixels, then deleted what was selected. This way I'm not wasting a ton of black ink.

I know someone asked about this before, but is there a version of this for the campaign(s) of equivalent quality? I'd love to have them not just for convenience, but also durability. Thanks, and apologies if I missed a post/link.

Not that I'm aware. And I won't be making them as I don't play campaign.

Fair enough, thanks. :)

I must have missed it in one of the other post. What paper size and scale do you print the individual pdf's?

Edited by winkycat

They're mostly A2 but maybe a third are larger. In any case they're 300dpi.

A2, 300DPI, printer to fit? I'll give that a try. Hope it works because I like the work you put into them.

Yeah; if you print at 300dpi they'll be the right size. Whether that size fits on an A2 sheet depends on the map. And they all have some bleed so they're slightly oversized anyway.

I've just been using my work printer. I split the image in half (with a little bit of editing) so i can print it on two 11x17 pages. I glue them together and it works great (considering it costs me nothing) and if the map gets damaged for any reason i just print a new one.

Just wanted to say thanks Ibsh. I used your maps and Pixartprinting to get four copies of the current tournament maps. They look great, and I don't know what kind of teleportation Pixartprinting uses, but they shipped from Italy on Friday and were here today (Monday). Wow!

They're amazing, right? I just got all the new maps reprinted by pixart, at 300dpi this time. The quality is off the hook, and they're inexpensive and ship amazingly fast, even across half the world.

What options did you use and how much did it end up costing? Did you email them specifically to set it up? Or did you somehow set it up all yourself and they got it all right? I'm interested in using them because there's nothing economical here where I live. But if i could print them for around $5 a piece i'd do it.

I composed three or four PDFs (couldn't go over 32000 pixels wide), entered the sizes, and they did the rest. I can upload the PDFs if you'd like.

Oh, and it cost just under $70 the lot.

How many did you print for that much? And what material?

And yeah if you can upload that'd be great :)

That was for all of them, on PVC banners, delivered to California.

The files are really big (1.13GB total) but I'm uploading them now.

Oh wow, $70 for all of them that's not bad at all. Like $3 a piece. For that price I'd print out 2-3 of each tourney map to take with me to my store tourney with some students.

So to turn them into PDF's did you just open your jpeg's you have hosted into an editing program and connect them all together and save as a PDF? I'm trying to figure out how I'd upload multiples of the three tourney legal ones on the site you recommended. I'd pay $27 to have 3 copies of the tourney legal maps :) and slowly build from there
