[REL] Colored Maps - Page 2

You can try it yourself (jsgme-ready):

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4055585/Real%20map%20colour.rar

Please help if you have some knowledge about those maps so we can make a realistic map for sh3.

In this post you can find kriegsmarine maps:

And another site:

---------------

If you wish to do it yourself the only file that you must edit is data/terrain/pal/Terrain.act

There must be some simpler method to edit this file, but I do it by opening e.g. 4320_2160.raw in Photoshop, then Image>Mode>Grayscale, then Image>Mode>RGB Color, then Image>Mode>Indexed Color..., then in the window that opens Palette>Custom..., then Load and point to Terrain.act file - then in the same window you can edit the colors and save a new Terrain.act file. Thats it.

One more thing - remember that you can make subtle changes to map colour by changing colours of StrTactMap.tga

Is there a possibility to change grid color (high zoom version)? I cannot find the options responsible for it.

Thanks it looks nice.

When I used JGSME to activate the mod over my SH3 + GWX 3
it said Integrated Orders had already touched that file.

I deactivated Integrated Orders for the time being.

Your bottom bar looks different, what is it ?

You should be able to over-write without any problems!!

It's a custom one I made for myself using officer files released way back - I can't remember who they were by!

Hi IFRT-WHUFC,

thanks for this very nice mod! I like it a lot.

Unfortunatly, it seems that the depth.tga only works with the GWX StrTactMap.tga file, but not with OLC's one

It would be great if one could also create one for OLC's StrTactMap.tga.

Cheers, LGN1
