I voted for No3 but I also like No4.
How can I get these?
Thank you!

Jimbuna · 08-22-11, 11:07 AM

3 or 4...definite improvements.

Sailor Steve · 08-22-11, 01:14 PM

3 and 4 are much prettier, and look more like modern maps. I voted for 1 and 2, however, because they look more like German period maps I've seen.

LeeHower · 08-22-11, 02:16 PM

I like Nr. 3 , very nice

Volk2 · 08-23-11, 12:12 PM

1.

The colors of map fit the rest of interface and bronze gives nice old feeling.

Myxale · 08-23-11, 03:12 PM

Looks great maestro!

Been hard at the business huh!

Voted!

I must be missing something. They all look the same but 3+4 have Green on them.

Please explain.

Herr-Berbunch · 08-23-11, 07:55 PM

Three, better colouring and text is German (I assume).

Maybe it's a secret psych test...

thank you all guys for your inputs

i got the 'picture' of what most of you like !

soon , i will show you the final map colors . with a new FANTASTIC tool that TDW created i managed to create the colors that fit to mine and your tastes for the map . it will take some time becuase each color (256 total) must be seperately adjusted via their hex values but it will be done ! (thats why i showed you only two very 'lightly' tweaked versions...just to 'catch' your tastes) .for this reason it will be only one version and i just hope to be the same in-game as i see it through TDW's tool

@Firewall : take a closer look ...all four colors sets are different
@Herr-Berbunch : the texts can be at german or english at whatever version.it is in a seperate file than map colors

TheDarkWraith · 08-24-11, 09:58 PM

almost complete:

If you double click the values under red, green, or blue you can adjust the value (possible values of 0-255). Gradient and map will be updated to show change. Here you can see I adjusted the Red value for Index 4 to 255. Notice the current gradient and map.

You can pan map with mouse.
Zoom/unzoom with keyboard (going to change to mousewheel)

Have to add/code in ability to save changes
You'll have the ability to save as a different file so you can scroll through different gradients and see what they look like without having to enter the game.

Works with SH5 also (originally made for SH5 but I ported it over so it can be used with SH3)
