I don't like the white hex grid, would like to have it black and with thinner lines.
But I didn't find what graphix files it's in ... [&:]

AFAIK it's hardcoded

It is in others.png in skin map folder, but there is no way to make it thiner, it is already 1p... but you can remove the shadow of grid

Well, I must be a bit blind, but whixh graphics is it ??I can't see a white outline on a white background  !! [:'(]

Was wondering the same thing. I really don't like the grid lines. They are way too intrusive and really make the otherwise awesome map graphics too busy. I play with it disabled.

Add me to the list of folks that would like an option to change its appearance.

So add layer with other color Or wait couple of minutes and I will prepare some help file ;]



I hope you see it now (bottom right). I also attached this png and psd file with three layers

It's in the bottom right hand corner of the others.png file.
Given the transparent background makes it hard to see, it is best to insert a new white layer below the image layer to see it. Just make sure you turn off or delete the white layer before you save back as .png
A number of options...
The original hex grid, is fatter than 1 pixel, as it also has a drop shadow applied to it. Erasing the shadow, thins it up.
Also. you can delete every second pixel in the line, which gives it a reduced appearance.
-easy to do but all a little tedious.
hope this helps

Thanks! I just updated the graphic by removing the shadow and and making the border 35% opacity black. Looks much better!

Will be playing the game with borders enabled now.

File attached...

Great! Thx McGlu !
Now the only thing I don't like left are the cartoonish clouds... they are in the GUI graphics file and changing them doesn't seem easy [:(]

you mean the ones on GUI panel when selected hex weather is "snow" or "mud"? 

@PDiFolco,
point me to some preferred cloud symbols, and I'll add them to a mod.

Bleck, my erro, I confused the GUI icons with the map stuff... I thought of the map itself indeed.
AgentS, well, I'd prefer to have just a "rain pattern" on the hex, rather than clouds, but I fear it won't be easy to distinguish, it has to be tested.

Great grid!

Doah!  The two mods I was using have been affected by the patch.

Can we get some magic done again for 1.60? 

A piece of magic for me - see attached file, hope you know what to do.

You're a good man, Bleck.  If this works out.  [:'(]
