Reachable hexes shading?

[Plain Ian]

I'm trying to change the shading colour as I'm having problems with black especially with snow. PzC is easy. Can someone tell me which is the correct one to change? PzC is easy as it has only 2. PzB has 4?

I believe it's #2.
Then you will have to put the file into one of the sub folders (Europe, Russia etc.) in the map folder.

Ah that's what it is. I didn't notice the Europe sub folder. I had guessed 2 but assumed it was the 2DFeature file in the Map folder which is why I had coloured it in.

Many thanks for the swift reply.

Can you post your modded file? I'm having trouble too as the shading is too light for me.

Shameless plug but check out my mod. I've been using darker shading for years.
In the meantime, (make backups of the following 3 files!) then you can copy my 2DFeatures100, 50 and 25 and copy to one of the 4 folders of your "Map" folder. (E.g.: Europe or Russia). You have to put the files into one of these sub folders! Then, see if this is for you.
I'll try and post some templates you can use in a while.

Edit:
Here you go. This is the stock 2DFeature files with the darker shading added. Use JSGME to install or do a copy and paste. This is for Kursk and Normandy only.
If you need North Africa, you can copy and paste the shading portion to those files.

If its darker you need then probably Bigus's file will suit you best?
I've only changed the 2DFeature100 which is the maximum zoom level and went for red. I thought the contrast was enough to make reachable hexes 'pop' out and yet still see the units in the non reachable hexes which can be important.

You can PM me if you need the file but its easy-ish to change the graphic in paint.
