Help hi res users!
« on: February 07, 2003, 08:49:05 PM »
The new terrain is unreadable at 1600x1200.  Many previous maps have been more difficult to read than others but this new one is damed near impossible.  This is an issue that is making this map very FRUSTRATING for me.  I know its been asked before, but would HT PLEASE comment on this (and all the previous) requests for a way to use a customized picture for the terrain.  One that would overlay the map info (alt, country, base#), and have the same functions of the default map, but allow me to use better colors for contrast (being it seems you will not allow a larger font), this will also aid all those who are color blind.

The ability to change general icon colors is great....until you add a map with a speckled background that makes everything sorta blend in.

oh...and the 1st bloke that pipes in about being able to add bmp files in the drop down box yada yada yada....please go READ my post again:rolleyes:

One of the things I like about AH, unlike many other games, is that the text is readable, even at high resolutions.  The map is the only exception,  please fix it!!

On a side note, how about turning off all of the map info rendering when the clipboard is closed?  Just having the GV spawns displays chops 10fps off of my game, it'd be nice if the map drawing would just shut off when I wasnt looking at the clipboard.
