Opinions needed: Elevation Hexsides

[wiggum]

Hi !

I edited the hexsides indicating a elevation change, tell me whats your favorite !

1. Original PzB artwork


2. Modded artwork- thinner lines


3. Modded artwork - subtle lines

Give me the thinner lines, please! Would love to try it. Can you upload it?

The subtle version isnt far from the ordinary contours option.

Mhh, i think the subtle version looks more realistic, dont you think ?
I made a new version with subtle brownish lines, i think thats the most natural looking version:


Will include both versions (brownish subtle and thinner) into my mod.

It's great, Wiggum. Just to clarify - in the mod you've only issued these alternatives for the 100 mag file? Is that right?

[wiggum]

Yes, that is correct.
I removed the Elevation Hexsides for the zoomed out views completely because i think these zoom levels are always used as a "overview" by players and without the Elevation Hexsides these overview looks much more natural.

I agree!

I like the original the best and wish that same style to be implemented in PzCs/MCs, Squad Battles and ACW.

I think I also prefer the original. In games like this, I don't want subtle. I want to know for certain at a glance what the elevation changes are, without having to click on every hex.

Your mods sure do look pretty, though, and I could see myself giving them a try from time to time.

In my mod (see mod forum) i also included the original artwork for hexside elevations as a optional file.
