mod request-question

Post by Dave25210 »

Hello,

did anyone attempted to mod this ugly and rough border graphic separating the army groups? I don't seem
to be able to even open these files successfully for editing.. with a few mods I managed to polish up the overall
rather rough look of DC: Barbarossa to full satisfaction, except this...

Thanks in advance for info on possible solution!

Edit 5/4/2020: Actually, after some fooling with the graphic files (graphics\systemgraphicsBIG\border\border1.bmp - border6.bmp..??) I managed to open them in
Pixelformer utility, can edit them, however saving/exporting seem to be wrong.. the originals are under 1kb RGBA 32-bit,
exported files too I hope, however bloated to around 50kb, plus installing them into game makes no difference at all...

What am I doing wrong? Im perhaps saving/exporting these bmp's with wrong attributes, or have the alpha channel wrong?
Or Im editing wrong files? Thanks to anyone for help with this, love the game..

OK, never mind, figured that out, was editing wrong files.. can change to any thickness,
color, shape.. sample included.
