Alternative Graphics for F'40

[Hadge]

Hi all,

While I have been a big fan of the graphical updates to the series, I find the palettes for F'40 (and NGP'85) to be a bit too dark. As a result, it is difficult for me to discern the difference between streams and rivers, at least when the movement filter is on. I haven't noticed this with any of the other titles. 

Anyone know of a way to brighten things up a bit? I see that the MapMod site is down, and I'm not sure it was compatable with the new 3d terrain.

My understanding is that the series is undergoing another graphical update, which will bring things in line with the graphics in K'43. Hopefully that is the case-- and hopefully this issue will disappear.  BTW, any news on how long it will take for the latest update to occur?

Hi,

Try these - I was having a similar problem with F40 a few years back so made these.

If you back up your 2DHexSide50.bmp and 2DHexSide100.bmp and replace with the attached you will have pale blue streams and dark blue Major rivers and canals - the bridges have also been very slightly altered to make them stand out a bit more.

They also work with all the other mods out there (that I am aware of), and can be used with all games in the PzC series from HPS.

2D only I'm afraid ... I don't use 3D at all really

Cheers
