Especially near coastlines.

Ok, I stand corrected. I just must not be heading into any of the bugged areas

.

It would take a lot of work to redo the whole file to not have ANY incorrect references.

Can you add in additional color references to the cfg file instead? You'd still need to get a list of the colors on the new map, but might be easier than a pixel by pixel adjustment of the map image.

Aha, W_clear added several to the cfg, so I don't see why more couldn't be added. That would be easier, as long as there are not too many different colors going on. I will look into it, but someone with more modding experience than me should really look into it.

Been talking to a Photoshop pro of mine trying to find the easist way of getting all the color values in an image. Might be easier to do it via hex editor-y-ish or that compare program maybe?

I have another idea, GIMP the open source image editor, has a tool that you can select all areas of an image that have the same color, and they can then be edited all at once. If we just nail down all the unreferenced colors, it would be a snap to simply "select all" and fill with a referenced color. Still some serious work but easier than any idea so far I think.

Don't know much about hex editor, and if you are talking about Win Merge, the file comparer/combiner, it only works for text files I am pretty sure.

Edit: Or do you mean what Shiplord was using, because I think that is just in photoshop is it not?

Actually, with PS, it's pretty simple to just select each color range, swap to default, then paint over the other one and so on. 41-49 = 40 so far.

Kylania, are you working on retouching the map, because I have been furiously going about trying it with my idea, I think I have about 90% of the errors removed. Would anyone be interested in testing this for me. I don't have any downloading site accounts so it will have to be through email.
