Brighter map mod

Post by JMass »

I made a simple mod because the original map is too much dark for my taste. Download the zip file from the link below, the files should be unzipped in the Strategic Command WWII - War in Europe\Bitmaps folder, backup original ones first!

How does it look with "national colours" on?

Great work as ever JMass.
I'm a big fan of your mod skills. Still playing Combat Command, with your graphics from that game.

That looks nice. Agree the standard map is too "dark".

A little more contrast would improve the overall impression, right? (Just a quick shot!)

One thing I noticed now is the overlays (like movement range) seem a little light. Maybe darken those a bit to contrast against the lighter terrain? Just a thought. [:)]

Dropbox has no more the Public folder and I do not know how to share my files now.
