Misspelling in World War II Global maps.
-
@scousemart That way you would see the new image on the board, but everywhere else the reference would remain the same. I surely advise against that.
-
@cernel Sorry, I was being as bit over zealous. I meant if the original .png was edited and the references in the game were changed to reflect that, that wouldn't work because the .txt files and .xml files would be different to the original files and thus break the game?
-
@scousemart Yes, you need to change everything. Theorically you can keep backwards compatibility by keeping the old entries and the old images in all skin files, tho that is quite patchy (and implies having useless entries all around, that doesn't feel quite right).
-
Aaand you need to change that way all the mapskins, as well. On this matter, I see that in the "battlemap_skin" there is a "Pau", written in the relief themselves, and this means that cannot be cleanly changed, unless you can get (I guess from Veqryn) a version of the relief without the added writings.
So, considering the importance of the mapskins and to keep consistency with that, I think this matter (specifically changing to any names not starting exactly as "Pau") cannot be feasibly made. I suggest giving up or contact Veqryn to maybe have the original graphic, if possible. Of course, it would be possible to surge the relief as to change the "Pau" to "Pal", and nobody would notice anything strange, but that would be changing the graphic arbitrarily. -
@cernel Maybe I should take up your suggestion and give up. Not that I'm not willing to have a go but it sounds like a lot of hassle with no guarantee of success, either getting it out in the community or actually getting it to work.

@scousemart The changes could be made quite easily if there were no backwards compatibility concerns.

Yes, but it seems that is the problem, backwards compatibility. :confused_face:

I'm rather curious about the "battlemap_skin" you refer to in your post. I can't seem to find it in the map folder.

@scousemart You can download mapskins like maps. This mapskin is available in the repository, under skins. Map skins are a view option, of course.
