Btw, I think religion_shield.bmp could use some tweaking... here's my suggestion:
Personally, I think it works better ingame.

Heh. Well that's only there on the *.jpg version... I don't have any places where I can upload *.bmp, so...

I havent been following this discussion except for the last 2 pages, so could you please dwell a bit more on this? is it possible to change the map colours in game?
My intention was to make something more suitable for BJ's different shield shapes. if its usefulness extends beyond the egufsm, so much the betterHive said:
So did you like the change with the stained glass?

I can't really tell from that image what you're trying to achieve in game. So the dots only appear when the button is pressed? And when you're looking at other nations the buttons aren't greyed out? Anyway, the buttons as i've done them are pretty basic; i've taken little account of aesthetics.
No problem, because I've only just brought it upvon Loch Ness said:
. I've just recently discovered that you can change the terrain and political map colours by editing the file .\map\colorscales.csv
k, thankscccino said:No problem, because I've only just brought it up
so does it alter the gamma or swap colours or?
There might be a tutorial on it floating around, I haven't looked.
Anyway, as far as I can figure, the file lists four RGB codes for each 'colour', along with an 'index' number. I'm not exactly sure how the index is used, so best not change that number.
For each map colour, the four RGBs are the shades of that colour from light to dark respectively. In photoshop or some other program that allows you to select colours by RGB, you can see what a particular colour is, change it as you desire, and copy the new code back into the file. As you can image it is quite time consuming to change 3x4 numbers for about 25 map colours, and then load EU to see how it turns out.
Note that the names given to the map colours may be nothing like what you're expecting.

Yeah.
use gif
Ah ok, thx.
First of all, I made the grey colour you have in the middle of the shields black instead. Secondly, I moved the grey shield from the last frame to the second frame - so that the grey shield will now appear when you hover your mouse over the shields. The original shields worked like that too.

Thanks. The link you sent me just gave an error page.. at least last time I checked. That's why I didn't link it here.
Really? Must've still been uploading. I am only on 56k dialup. Even bmps take a while.
Um, Hive, you shield has a small problem - when looking your own country, it's fine, but when you click on another country, the left side of each of the shields disappears. I think you made those ones one pixel too wide.
I'd also prefer to use grey for the non-player countries not as a highlight colour. So...

Hmm.... yours could actually be better than mine... though is there any chance you could make the second shield difer a bit more from the other ones? It's not all that obvious when you highlight...
Could anyone make for me an english shield with only the three leopards ?
Thxxxx !
