Ravs, your edited version should be in your email box! And now that I've sent it, I remember that I was going to make a comment (I mean another comment!):
It may just be the PDF reader I am using (Mac's Preview and Adobe Acrobat Pro), but some of the reference pictures are either blurry or pixelated, making it a little tricky to SEE what you are talking about. If I'm the only one having that problem, then I'll just go sulk in the corner. If I'm not, you might want to look into increasing the quality (yes, and making the file bulky).
You have done such a very good job with this tutorial. I am so impressed!

Did ya take this pdf off the shelves? I can't seem to find it at mediafire any longer. It just says '0 files found'. (Sorry if I missed a note about it or something)
That's interesting, I was trying to upload something to mediafire and although it uploaded the person trying to download had the same problem....I thought it was me but it might be a problem with Mediafire....thanks Alfar, let me come back to you.
Ah, I think I changed all the folders to private which was what caused it. Could you try now please?

I just tried downloading, it'll show me the file, but I get file not found when I attempt the actual download (that was.. 2 mins ago?)
[edit]
Correction, I have it now. I clicked the link for the file, it took me to a "if it does not download immediately, click here" and them immediately reloaded to "The page cannot be found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. "
I tried several times, same thing each time.
then I thought like a smart monkey and hit the back button, and the page stayed on the download page itself, and then offered me the file.
Peculiar.
But ultimately, got me what I wanted

How weird. I think there may be something strange going on with the site. When I tried it worked first time. I'll try again.
Thanks a million for testing it Coyote
Cheers

It's always possible the issue is on my end as well, we'll find out when other people test it I suppose
I just finished reading this too, it's great info. Very relevant to the Cruzamento map, and it appears I was in the process of re-inventing the wheel yet again - I'd already taken into account a fair amount of what you had in this guide. That having been said, I'm definitely going to incorporate some of your processes if/when i do another city (unless I keep expanding Cruzamento, heh.. another 2 or 3 revisions, it'll be a full out city.. 5 and it'll be a capitol!!)
