sbg2112 Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 ....please change their color!!! The gray just gets lost in the map, particularly if you like to play at the realistic scale and you're fighting in the snow. Haven't played the other countries that much, but the Americans have bright green and I think I've seen light blue and red colored bases. So pick a color, any color, just something besides gray. (Or let me pick the color myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERC Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 Whats stopping you from editing yourself? Just go to BMP directory and find which one it is and change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeAcH Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 May an option to change the color within the game. I happen to like the gray myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERC Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 You can go thru all the BMP rather quickly if you have a program like say THUMBS PLUS (evaluation version at www.thumbs.com) or PICTURE IT PLUS (comes with microsoft plus) or some other graphic program that produces thumbnails.

Mark IV Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 Paint Shop Pro 6 has a free 60-day try-and-die, and includes thumbnail browsing. It's still one of the best values in PC graphics packages. www.jasc.com . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guachi Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 Heck, you can cycle through the bmps quickly with plain-old Windows 98. You need to have the view properties of Windows Explorer set a certain way (which escapes me at the moment) and you will get a thumbnail of the bmp.

sbg2112 Posted July 24, 2000 Author Share Posted July 24, 2000 That's kinda the point -- I thought the bases were generated by the engine and therefore weren't bitmaps you could edit yourself. This seems to be reinforced by the fact that the bases are different sizes for different objects..... Anyone know for sure whether they are bitmaps?

KiwiJoe Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 I would luv country flags for unit bases. I'd do it myself if I knew the first thing about editing .bmp's or whateva the current bases are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hakko Ichiu Posted July 24, 2000 Share Posted July 24, 2000 I'm red-green colorblind, as is, I'm sure, about 10% of the male readership of this board. I have real trouble seeing Canadian bases (reddish-green sort of mauve color) on grassy layouts. I missed about half my force in Sherbrooke Fusiliers before I cycled through with the '+' key. If anybody knows a way to tweak the base color (w/o having to edit every single unit bmp) please share it with the board. Gracias. ------------------ Ethan ----------- Das also war des Pudels Kern! -- Goethe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbg2112 Posted July 25, 2000 Author Share Posted July 25, 2000 Okay, I loaded up thumbnails for the entire BMP directory and it appears I was right -- the bases are generated at runtime. I.e., they aren't bitmaps. So, BTS, please consider changing the German base color or allowing the user to set it. (The least expensive solution being to allow for RGB values in a config/ini file). By the way, file 447.bmp is the word "Bogus" in yellow on a red background -- what's that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
