*No Borders Mini Mod* (NEW colour for Scotland) [07/08/10 update]

[romy]

Hey guys , just a little mod that I made today.
It removes the borders of the factions on the campaign map and is , in my opinion , "nicer" to look at the different kingdoms.

How it looks now on the campaing map:
OLD version NEW colour for Scotland


*NEW* VERSION

***Last Version***


*NEW colour for Scotland*




*Installation:
*Just extract the file attached (descr_sm_factions) in your SS data folder.
*Remember to save your previous file (the one with the borders) if you don't like it.

**To install the NEW version or the LAST version , download the file "descr_sm_factions NEW"(or descr_sm_factions NEW2" , past it in your SS data folder and recall it "descr_sm_factions".

***To install the version with the new colour for Scotland , download the file "descr_sm_factions(new colour for Scotland)" , past it in your SS data folder and recall it "descr_sm_factions".

It removes the borders only from the map in the bottom left corner?

[romy]

Yes , it only removes them from the "little" map , not the STRAT map.

Nice one, I never liked the borders. Cheers, +rep

I've done this with my game also, problem is Portugal, Poland and CS having the same colour. Also similar colours have Lithuania, Norway and Cumans, it gets a bit confusing when cumans expand to west. And there's a bug with HRE's and TO's black borders, they are shown as 'unexplored' areas in the map. It's a bug from Med2 i guess.

Like he said, Holy Roman Empire territory + fog of war = unexplored. It might be Teutonic too but I haven't played a late era yet.

I took in mind what you said..
New version coming soon.

In next update if that's OK

[SoulBlade]

I suggest changing Portugal's colours to

primary_colour red 0, green 142, blue 233
secondary_colour red 0, green 142, blue 233

And Poland back to white, HRE looks a bit ugly in yellow to be honest, and it gets messy with Denmark's yellow borders.
Aragon should be orange-ish but not too similar to Moors'.

Well guys , still not happy with the colours of Lithuania , Poland , Scotland , HRE and Almohads I changed them and look much better in my opinion!
Soulblade , I still kip in mind your ideas , I'm going to touch them a bit again.
For Poland , I prefer them in red than in white and HRE , I like them in black too but I'm referending to the new coat of arms of some factions.
BTW , do you know how to change the colour of the symbol on the strat map(the banners)?I think that's in an other file but where?

[SoulBlade]

It's the same file, here's a proof. I changed Portugal's colours to light-blue ( the code i posted ) and it looks like this in the campaign map.

Ofcourse , you can!

[romy]

Last version is done!
PS: sorry for the double post , missed the Edit button.

Howabout having the Byzantine Empire's borders changed from pink to yellow? It'll look much less ugly.

[Sir Walter]

This mod has no borders anyway? Oh, and how can I make it the same as your latest, but with Holy Roman Empire and Almoravids unchanged from original?

[k/t]

In next update if that's OK

Can you make that optional? I like the borders and colours as they are now.

I made it for you.
File attached.
By the way , you'll have some difficulties to see the difference between Aragon and the Almohads , and , Germans and Teutonics!

[Sir Walter]

Wow, thanks! +rep Wait, no I can't, need to +rep other people first Oh, and what should I put in the RGB to make Scotland dark blue? Ah well, I'll experiment to find my own preferences.
