Did you make it darker? The other option is to reduce the alpha transparency of the stock art in the map editor.

Yes, i simply edited the tga file to render it darker quote: ORIGINAL: RedLancer The other option is to reduce the alpha transparency of the stock art in the map editor. How do I access the map editor? I tried Editor -> Load generic data -> Go to the map, but there I'm lost (never used WITE editor)

It would be great if there is a way when we use the Hex off option not to see the hexes at all. Any idea how to do this or it is not possible?

From Generic Editor Map Mode press the Ź (tilde key) - next to 1 on my keyboard 2. Select TILE(Top Left)- wait the art will load. (The system has some new bugs created in the map editor (like tile mapping) because of the new art drawing routines we recently added to improve game speed). 3. Select Alpha on right hand side. Screenshot shows what you should see. You will see that some art has reduced transparency to balance the map art. The closer to 255 the bolder.

Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing - I don't see the hexes when I toggle the grid off. Regarding this, I have the same problem (at least with 1.00.00 unmodded). When the hex grid is off, the inclined sides of the hexagon are still visible like in fig 1 and sometimes i have a strange behaviour like in fig 2 [image]local://upfiles/57938/9917C560C1EF46F5ADFE93E028558BF5.png[/image]

OK, I now understand. This is not exactly a map artwork problem - this is a hex control shading problem. Shading is hardcoded and created directly from the code. I'll flag this thread to Joel as unfortunately it is not something I can fix.
