Customize triple a G40

@aequitas-et-veritas
Actually almost everything in TripleA maps is editable. Just look at the downloaded map zip files that contain the details maps are made of. Those are either editable text files or images that represent for example the units or other map details.

I recommend that you check out the map-making part of the Wiki, to be found here:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/wiki
(see the column on the right side of that page that inlcudes the links that lead to map-making content).

Also on triplea-game.org you will find a lot of related topics and helpful people.

Good luck :slightly_smiling_face:

Sounds like something that map skins are for. In G40 you can only use one non standard skin at present - no one has created any more. I’m not a fan of the non original one but if it floats your boat.

Indeed, skins are a collection of modified text- or image files bundled into another zip-file that replace the original look when applied. Skins are useful when you don’t want to touch the original map-files and/or maybe want to offer a variety of changes to the public.

But you don’t need to apply a complete skin when you want to change the look of your map.

For example in the Global 40 map.properties file the territory colors of the map are defined like this:

color.Neutral=d8ba7c
color.Neutral_True=b88a6c
color.Neutral_Axis=6A5B3D
color.Neutral_Allies=d8ba7c
color.Italians=58360E
color.British=916400
color.UK_Europe=916400
color.UK_Pacific=8E6600
color.French=156CC4
color.Impassable=d8ba7c
color.Americans=5a5a00
color.Russians=af2828
color.Germans=5a5a5a
color.Japanese=DCB53F
color.Chinese=713778
color.Canada=bf0010
color.ANZAC=4d7f7f
color.Dutch=ff6d00
color.Mongolians=d8ba7c

Now adjust the (hex RGB) color code to your needs. Save the file and play…
