I was hoping to mix and match a few things between the most recent files you've posted in this thread and the map graphics for Tunisia, but it looks like I have two issues:

1)  The background for Tunesia is purple rather than yellow, I guess I will have to do some kind of color replacement on the purple before using it with the graphics posted here.  From past efforts like this, I seem to recall that the colors blend on the edges of the graphic icons, and it might be difficult to just replace purple with yellow, etc.  Is there a good way to do this?

2)  it appears that the 2DFeatures50 files are different sizes for these two games--one is 110 x 420 pixels, one is 114 x 558 pixels--is that right?  It seems a bit odd that they would be different sizes.  Assuming this is correct, would the best way to proceed be to make them the same size, do whatever copy/pasting I want to do, then resize to the original dimension?

Only problem I have is the built-in hexgrid and the hex color, did anyone ever do an alternative color set?
I prefer the old and usually used topographical green to brown coloring, I can't get along with this blue to violet coloring.

It's no wonder Jan didn't work on it as it can drive you mad, at least I found a way of madding the hex graphics but I'm unsure if I get the hex sides and hex features done.
If anyone has a documentation about the PB graphics it would be very welcome.

Anyhow afaik you have tried to rescale graphics especially the smaller 50 graphics but that doesn't work, some graphics were not positioned correctly, some were not recognizable and some didn't even show up like the rough terrain on the 50 graphics because the rescaling just swallowed everything.

I have now done a mod especially for those 2 games, this mod uses MapMod graphics as far as possible and as far as it makes sense.
So far it looks OK, I'm rather unhappy with the stream, river and canal graphics but as not even the original game graphics align properly I couldn't just copy & past the MapMod graphics over but had to redraw them myself. I'm no artist so if anyone wants to give it a try he's welcome. So far we have what we need, streams differ from rivers & canals and those two stand out as they are major obstacle on the battlefield.

PS If you can problems unpacking, try renaming the extension to rar. For what ever reason I couldn't attack a rar file but had to rename it to zip.
