Status: offline 		How many people are using the BMP graphics files in game instead of the PNG graphics files?

It would be a good thing to know since some scenario designers make graphics especially for their scenario. Difficult enough having to edit one format.

True, this does require editing on my part, but what the hey.......it's worth it!

Note that I included an article in 3.4 about how to re-colorize the png units.

My own reaction when I opened things up after the patch was that my hills, etc seemed to be floating in a green sea. I suppose I could have got used to it -- but why?

Status: offline 		I d like to try TOAW III to see how graphics work in PNG but after reading this thread, I guess I d prefer the BMP version like in my old ACOW version. With my graphic mod, of course.
I m fan of pixels and old school graphics
By the way, I am very curious to see the Curtis graphics at work instead of see them only by posted screenshots.
I think I ll give a chance to the new version of TOAW, but this game become very expensive for me as I bought all the precedent version as soon as they was released....

I don't know what "mod" you're talking about. Can you reference a specific post #?

When designing scenarios however, I'll make the graphic mods for both.
