Let's watch the language please. You can modify the icon colors by editing \Graphics\GR_ICONS.BMP . You'll want to save it as a 256-color BMP or it won't look right at all in the game. Sorry Tony, Being a rough rider I didn't realize that was considered foul language. Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for. I shall edit the necessary bmp file. Another question...Is it possible to turn off the Staff Assistant window from popping up ? I'd rather read the message log and there are times when it persistently stays open effectively freezing the game. I've had to ctl-alt-delete to exit. As for textured map graphics, I really dig your South Atlantic etc. style. Those maps are perfect contrast. RedMike...out

Try going to Settings/Game Options and changing the setting for Water Color. Buddha You don't understand. I'm trying to get textured land and water to function with cds icons in a visible manner. The point of the exercise is improved graphics. Thanks though, RedMike...out

Well, I'm back! ANW has pissed me off, so I'm back looking closely at HCE. I've been playing around with the download section getting some of the battlesets that include the very nice textured maps some of which are very dark. The game icons blend right in and are in effect invisible. Is it possible to modify the icon colors to make them visible ? I think this needs urgent attention. Regards, RedMike...out

Yes, the betas have an expiry date. Make sure to keep a non-beta copy around to keep you occupied when the betas annoy you. OK. Will do. I don't think I'm going to be too useful on this one, too much on my plate right now. I haven't even got time to work on ANW let alone take up HCE too. So...bowing out with grace...

OK, I'm biting. I'm gonna give this game another shot. I've reinstalled and applied the latest files. I'll have to spend some time with it to get acquainted. I'm really more familiar with ANW. I hope I can be useful. I believe this beta GE has an expiry date ? RedMike...out
