A new computer and lost files later... I'll try and get all the bits back together.
Pleased to hear that some folks were still interested in this.
Thanks.

I'm also very interested

Good mods. Maybe I should hire you for my next game lol.

@Alvaro, happy to mod anything.
(I'm not a graphic artist, just a nostalgic fan of the games I grew up on).
I'd like to see...
Graphic files that still had the original layer information.
Quite a bit of mod time is spent unpacking layers, working out hex layer masks, working out which terrain image sits in which point of the game map etc.
Would love to see vector graphics being an option also, can be hard dealing with tiny blurry pixels.

Alvaro,
The editor no longer appears to be saving the text when changed to dark. Could you check prior to the next patch please.

Great news, thanks for your efforts.

Hi all,
Firstly thankyou for showing some continuing interest in this mod.
Took a while to find some of the images, most are spread out in this thread.
I have tweaked the map a little since it was first posted, as I wanted to get a bit more nuance with the ocean tiles.
Of course if you don't like aspects of this mod, it is very easy to paste in equivalent .png files from other modders.
This is my last mod using GIMP, I intend to try using Inkscape on my next map mod working in vectors and then converting to .png.

The blue convoy line is disturbing. I was thinking of another leyer in the ocean at the beginning.

This one is my favorite so far, congratulations, did you update/make the same style for WarPlan Europe?

Can mod the mod to outline the hexes for trade routes.

Will check to see what state the wsrplan Europe files are in.
