[MOD] GridCon - As requested
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 11:02 pm
As requested in the Think Tank section, a grid in Defcon would be nice. So I've taken it upon myself to have a quick knock-up.
Copied from my post in that section:
...It should be easy to make the lines brighter by messing with the style, but this may have undesirable side-effects. Otherwise, there isn't any really acceptable way to do it.
How's this for a mock-up? I've scaled up the water.bmp file 400%, so it's a lot higher resolution, and so the lines are finer. There's a bit of an annoying wrap in the middle of the Pacific, which makes one "square" the wrong width (unfortunately just out of shot) but apart from that, it's a start
(the below screenshot is slightly compressed, so it's not quite perfect-looking)
And here you can try it.

Let me know what needs to be changed, and I'll see what I can do

Code: Select all
shinygerbil's GridCon v0.1
another copy+paste readme from shinygerbil :)
To get this to work, you'll need to go to Options -> Graphics -> Show Water and set it to Normal (as opposed to disabled or shaded.)
Instructions:
If you're using zanzer7's ModLoader (which in my opinion is the only way to go) just put this in the Defcon directory (which is C:\Program Files\Defcon by default)
Otherwise, find the "data" folder (which should be in the folder mods\GridCon\ inside this RAR file) and put that in the Defcon directory instead.
Enjoy!
