How do you get rid of borders?

[Icefrisco]

I know it is possible but I can not figure out how to get rid of borders on the mini-map in a campaign. Can someone help me? Thanks!

That's a very good question!

Hmm, take a look at descr_cultures.txt I think (or descr_factions.txt, something like that). Anyhow, the file which specifies the color of the borders of each faction, as well as the colors of the provinces of that faction. It's by modifying that file that mods like RTR made the borders of a faction blend in with the province color of the faction, on the mini-map. The border color also determines the color on strategic map itself.

To do what you ask, I think you'd have to find some way to make that color be alpha, i.e. transparent, or not any color.

If it were possible to eliminate borders, and just have cities, I think that would be a really neat change to the current campaign game.

Are you talking about removing the province outlines for the regions, you own? If so, you need to edit the descr_sm_factions text like so:

faction spain
culture southern_european
religion catholic
symbol models_strat/symbol_spain.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_rebels.CAS
primary_colour red 150, green 17, blue 16
secondary_colour red 255, green 255, blue 255

Change the secondary color to the primary color and you won't see those province outlines for Spain, just one big yellow country.

Thank you! It works.
