<r> Hey all, does anyone know if it is possible to edit the icons and other interface elements? I've looked to the directories and found the files I want to change but the game stays the same no matter what I do to them. <br/>
<br/>
Have any of you tried this?<br/>

Really great job! This is a big improvement on the default.

Just got my manual today. [:)]
Really happy with the quality of it. Shipping up here to Canada was quite pricey but it's really nice to be able to flip through the book while playing.

I think it would be good if there was a place for updates to scenarios included in TOAW4; separate from new scenarios. It might make it easier for players to find fixes for broken scenarios ...

It would be nice if we could get a scenario update sub forum.

Sure, I'll get back to you with that.

That is the manual for Scenario BMP's in TOAW III

Ah, fair enough.There is still some useful information in there IMO.

<r> Hey there fellow wargamers- I am an artist who is looking to get into modding. If any of you need illustrations, terrain textures, unit icons, etc, I would love to help. I've done some basic mods thus far for TOAW but nothing very complex or ambitious. By working with you guys I hope to learn ...

<r> Nowadays I use Clip Studio Paint. It costs around 60 bucks which is not bad in comparison to other options like Photoshop.<br/>

Here are your tiles with the opacity fixed- It's not perfect, it works a lot better if you edit with the transparency channel intact.<br/>

There is actually a pdf in the manual folder for exactly this topic.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>That leaves a question. Are we meant to do anything to get the 'custom graphics' to show in the scenarios in the 'custom graphics' folder, or if you just click on them they appear already with custom graphics? I'm stupid, of course, but I haven't noticed any custom graphics ...

I used PNG tiles for snow and frozen to cover my BMP map

I haven't noticed any issues with custom terrain textures yet- have you had problems with that?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>I've already modified the unit icon png graphics to work with TOAW 4.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
My bad, I assumed that the scenario would have been updated via the built-in updater so I didn't think to check the forums. Great work on the scenario btw! It's a shame that the ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>The long standing TOAW credo of not breaking previous scenarios has been trampled on.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
It's actually worse than that because it's one thing to make changes that break scenarios but it's quite another to then sell those broken scenarios to people just ...

The button to the far left, "Change default directory" will allow you to change from the tutorials folder to other categories.

Thanks!
Danske-Johnny Canuck eh? Nice. [:D]

To give you an idea of what it looks like-

<r> I noticed that a bunch of scenarios seem to be using a TOAW3 icon image convention that no longer works. It looks like the the new system uses only 50% grey pixels on transparent backgrounds to facilitate in-editor color scheme changes of custom units, whereas in TOAW3 you needed a separate .png ...

Nice- thank you, I wasn't sure the locked auto-advance was a deliberate mechanic or not.

I'm also curious about this mechanic. Is there a way of preventing your forces from advancing after overrunning an enemy? I've had cases where I want to make a limited attack but this happens and I end up forced to defend a salient I never intended to create.
