Have you ever wanted to change the colors of the map and see those changes in real time? Now you can :yeah:
How it works:
When the app is loaded everything is using the same gradient (map, selected, and editing) and the Gradients color changer box (indicies) is loaded with colors from that gradient. If you press G to cycle through available gradients then obviously the selected gradient changes. To adjust the colors (indicies) of the selected gradient that you have chosen you have to press the load colors button. Pressing that button will change the editing gradient to the selected gradient. That will load the colors from the selected gradient into the editing colors box. Now when you edit any color index in the gradients editor box it will update the index color and also update the editing gradient so that you can see the change. To apply the editing gradient to the map you have to press the editing gradient's map button. Anytime you press the load colors button the selected gradient will be replaced and all changes are lost.
Pressing any gradient's map button will cause that gradient to be used for rendering of the map and the map will be reshown using it.
Pressing any gradient's save button will save the gradient shown in that gradient box to a file.
Press H (for help) for available commands and how to pan/zoom map
The app has the ability to take screenshots of your work also
6 gradient tga files are included with the app (4 of them are from Nisgeis's work from his nav map mod)
If you prefer to edit/make your own tga gradient files they have to follow these stipulations:
- width 256 pixels
- height 1 pixel
- bit depth of 24bpp
In order to see the gradient and/or changes in game you must save as the game file Terrain.act
