map request mod

[scout1]

The various german garrison zones are separated into regions which borders are shown graphically with a dashed yellow line. Any chance making this more prominent (brighter, thicker) ?
Can be difficult for old eyes to see .......

I will try to make something for you. Color preference? Super glaring bright ok?
well maybe I cant

Someone made a border mod for the very same reason -> http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3788979

So it's certainly doable, and not too difficult I think.

One temporary solution could be to use the border mod as a garrison border mod. If I understand it correctly, national border = every 001 and 003 tga file in the Dat\Art\Tiles\BORDER, and garrison border = every 002 and 004 tga file. If you take the border mod, change every 001 to a 002 and every 003 to a 004, then copy it into the BORDER folder you should have a garrison border mod for the same price.

How about this?

[scout1]

much easier to distinguish .....

How is it done ?

[marion61]

I'd like to know how you did that too!

[Baelfiin]

I just fiddled with the .tga files for them. I changed the map files a little as well because the original map looks a little washed out for my personal taste. I am not sure of the process to put files into the mods forum. If there is interest I can try to figure that part out.

[scout1]

Which file did you "fiddle with" and what software did you use ?

[Baelfiin]

Program=paint.net
and
Border(x)_002.tga

where x is the hexside that the border is drawn on. 0 through 5.

[Nico165b165]

I would certainly use those borders.

If not on this forum, you can easily use someting like https://www.mediafire.com/ to upload your mod.
