radar New Enhanced Navigation Map

Hey guys, look in the graphics mods section for my new and first mod that gives you the water depth across the whole navigation map.


Darker Colors version



Link to slightly larger preview



Vivid Colors version



Link to a slightly larger preview


Changelog;

1.1 Oceans and seas name have been fixed for better readability.
1.2 Added a more colorful version called Vivid Colors


I found in one of the ressource file a bathymetric file and I used it with up to date Google Earth data to make a better map

Tell me what you think !

This looks great! It seems like it could be hard to see friendly platforms on these maps. I'm not sure if that's just because I'm color blind or not, though.

The game has some post processing. I had to adjust it few times until it was fine in-game. There are many ways to increase contrast between units and background, I may do a high contrast version in the future if needed!

Its location is listed in the OP. This is in the Downloads section, BTW.

Very nice maps! It definitely adds to the game play. I too am having difficulty seeing the NATO blue units. The red Russian are fine. I wonder if changing the NATO units to a green color would fix it.....not sure if that's possible though.

Good work on this, err0r.

I wish the contrast between the map and the blue Nato units was just a little greater.

Let me know if you make any further refinements. Maybe this could eventually be added to the Playable Ships Mod.

So I found out how to change the color of the nato units on the strategic map.

Add the below lines or change the existing "PlayerIconColor" in the override/campaign/campaign001/campaign_data.txt file. Add them to the [Sprites and Toolbar] section. (Not sure if the section makes any difference but it keeps it organized). You may need to copy and paste an original copy from the default/campaign folder. You will have to do it for each campaign you have 001 is the 1984 campaign, 002 is the 1968. I have 003 which is the awesome 2004 campaign from LTGBeam. For me only the 001 campaign had these lines and I changed the PlayerIconColor number until I could see it more clearly on the Enhanced map mod then added the lines to the other campaigns. I use the "Darker" map as it works well with the new player color. All colors of text or images work like this from 0-255... red,green,blue,transparence. So... all 255's are white. 0,0,0,255 is black. changing the transparence is a neat feature....

Anyways, I changed the Player Color to the numbers below. It is a very vibrant blue, but it is very 'see-able'. The enemy and contact over time I left as is. It is the russian red and gets darker and darker over time as the contact fades. You can change the numbers as you like to get it how you want. It is the same idea as errOr changing the ocean and sea text color to be seen on the enhanced map.


***ADD BELOW LINES***

PlayerIconColor=0,90,255,255
EnemyIconColor=255,0,0,255
ContactOverTimeColor1=255,0,0,255
ContactOverTimeColor2=192,0,0,255
ContactOverTimeColor3=128,0,0,255
ContactOverTimeColor4=64,0,0,255


PS- Great mod, cheers to errOr. I hope you don't mind me messing with the unit colors. Knowing the sea depth completely changes how and when you engage contacts!!
