Most graphic editors have field for the colors in hex values. If not, the net is full of such converters.
The words in .exe are reversed, you need to read backwards. So, if your color is RGBA: 1F45B4FF In .exe it must be ABGR: FF B4 45 1F Be careful to not revers a byte value itself, B4 must stay B4 not 4B. Quote:
All colors are as I like. I even don't have relief for terrain, this is my personal variant: I search for feeling of nautical charts, not a geographic map. I play without my boat on map, so I do a lot of drawing/ploting, and I need clean map without distractions. But, the point is, that all these are easy customisable and everyone may do their own variants.

Here are the depth values I've found with the vanilla colors. In red are the values I've fixed for each depth color level. And here is the result with 9 depth levels. I've also modified the dragable depth scale : Last edited by Kendras; 05-08-17 at 07:15 AM. |

In the readme, you wrote :
"You use "H.Sie fixes" and "Stiebler add-on": you take your original sh3.exe and patch it with "H.Sie fixes" and "Stiebler add-on", according to Stiebler's instructions. After that you copy this already patched sh3.exe file and patch it with Enhanced Map Drawing." Is it possible to first patch Sh3.exe with Enhanced Map Drawing, and then patch it with H.Sie fixes and Stiebler add-on ? |

Far from the shore I use pseudo navigation. Dead reckoning again, plus making fixes through ctrl+left click. If the weather get worse and I don't see the sky, I don't make position fix and continue with dead reckoning. This requires self control, nothing can stop you to make the fix, but don't do it. And, the most fun part is the plotting of other ships. Here you come to the world of Relative motion. Learn things like, Maneuvering board and Radar plotting (even without radar it have all bunch of applications). Yes, completely enough. Quote:
But, if you are happy with this, all is good. I don't impose my opinion. No, don't do that. H.Sie patch will not recognize the sh3.exe after that.

I can't express myself in english. And honestly, lately I only dream how I play.
A little time that I have was spend for changing things in my installation.
