Modifying the map background

[RobAMacAF 0]

I was wondering if it is possible to edit the original map background. I was wanting to make perm drawings on it that everyone would see when they hit M. I tried doing this with markers but it wasn't what I wanted.

Thank you.

Not going to happen. Sorry.

Maybe I am way off base here but I have been browsing these forums for quite a bit and no offense to Op4 BuhBye, but you're a jerk. Just the way you reply to peoples posts and everything it is uncalled for. Most people here are trying to build a great community that can work together and get things done and while most of the time you do answer the questions the way you answer is so rude.

Would it be so much harder to say, "I am sorry, it doesn't seem like that is possible". That is just a wee bit longer but alot less rude then what you replied.

I thank you for replying to everyones' posts. Including mine. But next time if you are going to be rude, please pass my post up.

Thank you.

Well I am sorry you or anyone else takes what I say that way. Im really a nice guy, not short or rude. I guess I just forget you cant hear the tone of a reply.

If I was a jerk why would I waist my time trying to help people here. Id just put up my questions and be done with it.

Sorry to all and thanks for bringing it up. Ill try to pay attention to it from now on, cause there are a couple other people who I think that very thing about and I dont want to be one.

Probably you cannot modify the main map, but you can create a resource MAP type with the colours changed, even those used for the icons. Like the one shown here in the lower left corner (of course you may create a bigger one).

You may download the mission here ready for the editor so you may check how it is done. Check mando_missile.h which is included in the description.ext, there the map is defined.
