CoolColJ Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 BTS I'm very happy with how the snow landscape looks! But I'm not sure about the green landscape, the shade of green is extremely pukey looking. Its got that typical PC game green like in the Panzer Elite public beta look about it. I hope you change to a more asthetic shade. Being an artist, it irritates me more I guess CCj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 Don't know what you mean, actually Looks fine to me. Perhaps being an Aussie you aren't used to rolling grassy hills? Could also be JPG compression too, as there are small swaths of brown and other non-green colors. In any case we aren't going to change them either. We did have a professional artist do them once, so doing them twice isn't going to happen. Those guys charge money Plus, we like the way they look.

CoolColJ Posted September 10, 1999 Author Share Posted September 10, 1999 actually there are rolling greeny hills here, mainly in farmy areas Basicly I think its a shade too dark or something like that. If its just a texture, then maybe I can just tweak the gama a bit on the texture file when I get the game, would this be possible? Ahhh I love having Saving Private Ryan playing continously in the background! Its like meditation music hehh the cacaphony of gunfire makes my day....

Guest Big Time Software Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 There are several shades to show elevation. Lower ones are darker, higher ones are lighter. I forgot to mention that. So when you think it looks too dark, it is probably low elevation. Too light will be upper elevations. Not realistic, but neither is a dynamic lighting model, so we are stuck with what we got Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KwazyDog Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 " Perhaps being an Aussie you aren't used to rolling grassy hills? " LOL Steve, aint that the truth Mostly it is yellow or gold, but like CoolColJ we do have *some* green areas. Where I am we have a lot of tropical rain forest, and thats pretty darn green, hehehe. Anyways, its coming up to summer, so soon a good chunk of it will probably be black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 CoolColJ it might just be mainly due to compression. I'm doing screenshots against a summer backdrop in CM and the ground I see in-game looks very little like what I'm seeing in the JPEGs.. The JPEGs look much cruder and more "sickly green" if you follow me... I'm happy with the colours in-game but NOT happy with the colours in the screenshots so I think the "curse of the jpeg" strikes again ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 10, 1999 Share Posted September 10, 1999 Hey Fionn, try doing some screen shots in .bmp format. They tend to be big but the quality is usually quite nice. I'd like to see a couple .bmp's in the AAR's. Just for comparison's sake. You can get .bmp's easy by using the "print scrn" key and pasting that image into your graphics software and saving the file. I think most of the people reading the reports want the best quality pictures possible, regardless of size (as you have mentioned they keep telling you). So, don't worry yourself about the file size.
