Is it possible to change the colour of the navmap grid?

As the title says - are there any options, e.g. in menu_1024... or somewhere else to change the navmap grid colour? I cannot find it.

Yes, navigation map. There are two kinds of grid - one in low zoom (green) and one in high zoom (grey) - it would be great to have an option to change their colour.

The menu -ini doesn't contain anything but the location of the Nav Map Tga file and its use, the Grids, are Part of the Map itself I think or hard coded, but I think they are part of the Map...

The Map itself is a huge file that comes already with the Grids,
you can zoom it in and out, but they are part of the Map Draw!

No way of changing it but making a new one I think!

The grids are not in the big map files, I have looked there. They are drawn in real-time in game. I'm afraid that they are hard coded, but in SH4 you can change the colour by kgrid.cfg - in SH3 there is no such file.

What is in the kgrid.cfg file, copy and paste here.

We are talking here about SH3, not SH4, there is no kgrid.cfg in SH3...

But there are a few line at the top in the Basic.cfg pertaining to line-colors i'm wondering if these are the controllers!? Maybe Bigboywoolly knows?

I'll have a play with them later!

I also would like to know where the map notes pertaining to the texts of the oceans and seas are!? Would love to have them in a more hand written style font!

thanks
Rick.

No, I have changed them to pink and the grid has not changed.

Names of oceans and seas are in the big .raw map files, aren't they?
