Being a bit colorblind my eyes weren't enjoying the "flourescent" maps so I toned them down a bit to a more pastel hue. It allows me to see the units and bases more clearly.:

Where can I download your mod to tone down the graphics?

Many thanks,

Status: offline 		kam99, I'll pull together the Napoleonic mods and post them to the games depot, like I did for BGCW. There have been some improvements since this thread was started.

I'm up to my elbows in BFTB stuff right now, so it might be a week or so.

Status: offline 		If you go to the link simovitch provided in his 5th post I believe the mod is at the very bottom of the long list.

Is that fairly easy to do? Personally what I'd love is to change the highlight colour in Napoleon in Russia. In Waterloo/PTW when you highlight units they get a nice bright white line around them. In NIR I can hardly distinguish the colour of highlights on units, it's green on green I think...I may also be a little bit colourblind!

here is the link again:

Archive

There's a 101 scenarios and then the editors/updates.

A great site to wander around anyway, the tactics articles certainly helped me learn the game.

The map files are huge (700+ MB), so they are kind of hard to upload anywhere that I know of.

The Nap icon graphics are small though. I'll post them to the Wargamer's Games Depot site today.

Status: offline 		Hey thanks for doing that, much better. Looks like you changed the 2D icons in NIR to the ones used in PTW/Waterloo (i.e. the Russians are now red not green...seems appropriate). I can actually play NIR now because I can see the highlights on the units

Thanks for taking the time to keep these games up to date. I'll have to get the scenario editor so I can start fiddling around with that.

Somethings not right there - I didn't change Russians to Red. Try copying the files into their respective folders manually.

Cheers,
Mike
