[Theme] V-Scale2_Pure

[jusc]

further development stopped.
new theme in preparation...

I updated a bit the V-Scale_Pure theme.
Now with motorway junctions and hopefully with better visible town names.



Unzip the the attached file  (both folders in zip) to _themes

Have fun

UPDATE 27.06.2014
Inspired by this question http://forum.locusmap.eu/index.php?topic=4000.0 I mad a few smaller changes.
The minor roads are a bit more visible.
Tracks and paths are shown later  (up from zoom level 15). Now streets are better visible in minor zooms.

@Christian,
I hope the motorway and junction tags are once more a bit improved. But it seems not to be possible to get all tags in all zoom levels. Sometimes they are overlapping, or I have to stretch them to far from the ways. May you have a look please? 
@borkenkäfer
I removed the "track grades" and other hike or cycle tags in this theme, so pathes and tracks shoud be better visible now


Please unzip the attached V-Scale2_Pure_20140627.zip and replace (only) the V-Scale2_Pure.xml in /Locus/mapsVector/_themes/VScale2_Pure folder.

Attention for new users
As long as it´s not sufficient for us, I will make a few improvments and only change the xml file.
Later I will make one package.

For new users
Please follow these steps

1. download both zips
2. unzip at first  the V-Scale2-Pure.zip.
3. unzip  V-Scale2-Pure_XXXXXXXX.zip.
4..move the unpacked V-Scale2_Pure.xml from  V-Scale2-Pure_XXXXXXXX.zip to V-Scale2_Pure folder you have unzipped before
5. copy both folders to /Locus/mapsVector/_themes/

Locus Pro could not load the file.
Am receiving a "main.xml" error. Did another download and received the same error notice.
Possibly an error in the "V-Scale2_Pure.xml" file.
Thanks ..

[gynta]

It works. thx

[jusc]

Do you have 2 directories?
/Locus/mapsVector/_themes/VScale2 and
/Locus/mapsVector/_themes/VScale2_Pure

[Christian]

Yes and unfortunately in an additional Folder V-Scale2_pure after unzipping: (

[jusc]

I will update a cycle and a hike theme, so that you don't need to have an additional resource folder for each theme.

Hi jusc,

thank you, it work's fine. I have two remarks

1. Some kinds of ways are not so good visible in areas (landuse = forest)
   (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/147887813)




2. The name of a lake is shown more than one times, also for a small on, may be it's not necessary.

Hi Jusc,
Habe im Folder ..../mapsvector/_themes/V-scale2 mit den Unterverz. Omsc, patterns, symbols und die Datei V-scale2_pure.xml.
Wenn ich eine mapsvectorkarte (zb Grrmsny) aufrufe, kann ich keine Ausfahrtnummern sehen.
Was mache ich falsch?
Bin noch kein Themes Profi.

/Locus/mapsVector/_themes/VScale2 with the subdirectories
and
/Locus/mapsVector/_themes/VScale2_Pure/ with only one file: VScale2_Pure.xml

The maps are from http://www.openandromaps.org/.  What is Grrmsny? Germany? The Germany map works as shown in the screenshots above.

Hi Gerhard
hast du das Theme auch ausgewählt?
(Hauptmenü-Mehr-Schnellwechsel-Thema der Karten) evtl. Schnellwechselmenü bearbeiten!

Edit:
Mapdetails-Thema auswählen geht natürlich auch!

1. Some kinds of ways are not so good visible in areas (landuse = forest)
   (https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/147887813)

I try to make it more visible, particularly for hike and cycle themes, but this theme should be used as "City" theme.
In this theme I ´m thinking about throwing all special values away.

2. The name of a lake is shown more than one times, also for a small on, may be it's not necessary.

In this case I don´t see any solution at the moment. It seems to come up with higher zoom levels and only for some smaller lakes.

[Christian]

nice theme. but it has small errors:
up to zoom level 16 all exits are shown properly (sometime doubled), zoom level 17 no labels are shown for some exits, zoom level 18 all stuff is displayed.

[jusc]

@Christian
Do you have an example? Screnshot?

Thanks in advance

[tommi]

In zoom level 14 name is printed on top of number, therefore number is not rentable.
Example: Germany A9 Allershausen
