town colours
« on: July 31, 2010, 05:07:51 AM »
For town building and other stuff I hope in different colours respect to the background one.
With those that there are now it is quite difficult to maintain they in sight for me.

What do you want Lulu, pink stucco buildings?

I think the town buildings are easy to spot from 20k, as long as the cloud layer isn't too thick, even then the way the graphics work in AH you can still see the dark outlines if you adjust the sight zoom.

Insurance companies won't cover anyone there. Good news is the government will rebuild free of charge but like all government work, it's slow.

I lived in that neighborhood in high school.  The one blue house turned out had a meth lab in it.  Subtle?

Allegedly and, as far as I know, untested nor verified, it brings the AAA back up.  I think it is like the old "drop friendly troops to reset the maproom" that, IIRC, turned out to be false.

What do you mean, slow?  It only takes 45 minutes!  Not bad for a shiney new house.

I suspect the quality isn't so great, though.

I know a squad that would swear that this works.  I've not tried it with the new town layout.

This may be considered off topic, but, it's difficult (for me) to see what I have damaged in town after my first pass with the F6F where I dropped two 1000 lb bombs and want to line up the rockets on undamaged targets on my next pass.  Small fires and a little smoke would be nice to pick up the damaged buildings.  Must be some reason, just asking.

Eh, using the zoom function helps. The buildings do change colors when destroyed, it's just not as drastic as it used to be.
