Tactical map water colors
Just curious about the different shading displayed on the tactical map. Does the shading denote ocean depth or areas of high noise?
I remember Red Storm Rising had a display that showed water sound travel conditions and used to hide in them all the time. Thanks |

From my limited experience, it seems to be water depth. I just wish it's at a higher contrast as it's hard to see between bands for these old eyes.

In default/hud/default.txt you can change the overlay map colours, thresholds and filtering. 0.33 is sea level. Be sure to make the edits in an override folder.
[LandOverlay] Thresholds=0.33,0.3507 ColorBlend=1,1,0.9 LandColor=0,0,0,255 CoastColor=0,0,0,255 WaterColor=0,0,10,255 FilterOverlay=TRUE

The map needs an overhaul, the range grids need to be in kyds and nmi so we know what the heck we are looking at.

And we need contour lines of the bottom. Bathimetry maps are stupidly detailed for obvious reasons and they have a lot more information.
