Changing Hexes

[Jim]

Probly not the right forum for this but, we are about to play one of the summer scenarios in Stalingrad 42. I detest the pink and rose colored clear terrain hexes in S 42 and prefer the colors used in Smolensk 41. Is there an easy way for me to copy the terrain hexes from Smolensk to Stalingrad without breaking Stalingrad? I just want it to look like those hexes. BTW, both games are gold versions.

Copy the hex-mapping files from S'41 to S'42 and you should be fine. They are the ones labeled such things as 2DNormal50 and such.

You can also cut and paste only those portions that you like in S'41 into the bitmap in the S'42 folder.

Liebchen here is what I did....I changed the folder inside the map folder from Legendary Gold or whatever and renamed it with the word original after that, then I copied the whole "Map" folder from Smolensk to Stalingrad. I have the same colors. But I have looked at all the hex color palettes (like the one taymaj sent) and I dont see any difference. Not sure why the colors are so "off" in my Stalingrad game. And why do we have lilke three different map folders? But even at that I dont see any difference in the hex color palette

I don't know what "folder inside the map folder" you're referring to.

Inside the maps folder are files named 2DNormal50, 2DNormal100, 2DMud50, etc. Just replace those files with the versions in your S'42 Maps folder, and you should be fine.

lol.....sorry I wasnt very clear. Inside my S42 folder is a folder called "Map" Inside the Map folder I have several other folders......So I copied the whole folder titled Legacy Gold something from Smolensk and pasted it into Stalingrad, which I now think did nothing.
