A Scenario Editor question.

Is there any way to change roof type or color for Modular Buildings?

Also, is there anything else I should know about Buildings as well?

You can change roof colour for some of the Independent Building types (e.g. Cathedrals).

For Modular buildings, the choice of roof type (slate or metal) and colour (black or red) appears to be hard wired to the building's shape, angle and, sometimes, number of stories (i.e. single story different than multistory). When you control+click on the roof, the texture appears to reverse or something, but it doesn't otherwise change.

Check these out may help with the buildings :cool:

Control key and Left click on roof

Yeah I read the manual and saw change roof type and I thought I could actually change the type of roof. Not just flip it. That is sort of ridiculous, I hate the orange roofs being in spots where black ones are, I especially hate the metal ones. I am disappoint battlefront! :mad:

Well if it really truly bugs you, you can download a free hex editor and repoint all the roof textures you don't like to ones that you like. Or even simpler, copy the bmp files for the roofs you like into your Z file and rename them as the ones you don't like. However, I personally like the sheet metal roofs for representing industrial workshops and sheds.

But yes, it wouldn't seem so hard to allow folks to toggle among different roof textures, especially since toggle functionality already exists -- it just doesn't do much right now in the case of Modular buildings. But on the other hand, this isn't a model railroading kit, it's a wargame. The small development team deep dives on some things and leaves placeholders for others.

Take comfort that CM will eventually provide flat-roofed "industrial" type buildings, and that at that point Charles or Philip might be willing to take a fresh look at the roof textures.
