Weather graphics

[squatter]

Any chance the mud and snow could be optionally dimmed in some way? The map's real nice, but the weather overlays are a little ugly. They're fine from four feet, but when you're trying to read the detail on the map they make it a squint-fest.

But what if you want to see the snow, but not go snow blind?

I find the weather graphics a little over done as well, and think that not having them on is also a detriment. So with a little digging, I discovered the map overlay graphics in the DAT folder for Zoom2. With a little fiddling I got this for mud.




It shows a smattering of mud which shows up well on the map, still allowing you to see the terrain underneath. I am going to see what I can do for blizzard/snow. That will be tougher as you will have to tell the difference between the two.

As opposed to a Blizzard, which I changed to look like this:
