Some days ago IFRT-WHUFC has released a nice colored maps mod:
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//sho...d.php?t=163133
Here is another version of sh3 map - following the idea of Hitman the land is also brown (more grey-brown), and the water is also grey (different colors) but the water gradient is different:
- there are only 4 gradient levels:
~0-50m
~50-100m
~100-150m
~>150m
The map is much more legible for me with those gradients and it looks nicer.
- the shallow water is darker, the deep is brighter.
This map is best to be used with attached StrTactMap.tga - it is modified by color to fit the map colors and I added a very subtle cloth texture to it (I like very much how it looks in game).
I am using this mod with OLC gui, so I don't know how it looks without the dark overlay of this gui.
Screenshots (dark because of gui):
