Re: Units and Maps reworked



Double sized Tiles and Units ???

'no' problem == I already did it (for Windows) :-)
see:-

http://www.questions4steveb.co.uk/html/Wargames/CF-build-v060

(one problem == the factory build drop-down 'list' uses a fixed 'reduction' of the Unit artwork to create it's icons == so 'big Unit artwork' means 'big factory icons' and they 'overflow' the space allowed .. BUT it still works ..)

PS I just checked and some of my download 'links' failed == hopefully I've corrected that

NOTE: whilst double sized works better on small screens for the existing maps, I went away from this because I wanted to do much larger battlefields ..
(I'll rebuild my 'reworked' (-x3) maps in 'double size' when I get time)

Cheers Steve

Hey guys,

I tried yesterday just for the fun to polish some icons in the game.

For now I have removed the metal background, and made the icon borders sharing
the same tones as their inner content instead of showing a big bold black border.

I also tried to add details to the tank, the plane and the ship.

It leads me to the following question :

- how difficult would it be to adapt the code in order to display 64x56 tiles
instead of 32x28 ? I'm just talking about the code, I definitely understand that
all the icons would have to be recreated.

For anyone who is interested, I've re-worked the Crimson Field Unit
definitions
(so, for example, all aircraft move faster than any ground unit - and
trains go
faster than tanks) and tweaked the terrain tiles a bit (so it's now a bit
faster
on 'tracks' then cross-country)

Hi Steve,

that was quite an entertaining read.

Who did create those unlikely maps anyway? It's been so long, I for my
part don't remember...
I created Lake Yukarwa; the idea is that it is the site of a dam under
construction, hence why you can't cross the channel.
