Changes to tiles.png and other and some Questions

[Darkknight]

I'm addicted not to the game but to the modding of the game

Anyway I spent 8 hours of my life today changing some of the terrain images mostly the coasts and a few icons.

How do I make the mask go away I can only paint and the game only reads from where the original image is from. I loaded up Picture Publisher which is worth £150 thinking that it has to be able to change the mask and it did come up in black and white showing where the mask is so I thought yay and started to change it there and saved it went back to PSPro and it came up as black and white.
I'm stuck. Does anyone know a way around this. I made a good 3D tank only to find I could see just half of it in the game.

For not having to draw on top of the old tiles: look in tiles.spec: it decides from where in the picture the tiles are loaded.

Oh, and I edit my pictures with the gimp, which I got for free, and it works .

I bet your problem is that the colors you are using was not in the original image, and it somehow can't figure out how to adjust the map. I don't know how the windows clients work (maybe when MS sends me a free copy of windows...), but you can try asking on freeciv-dev@freeciv.org, see http://www.freeciv.org/mailinglists.html

I agree that modifying freeciv can be more addictive than the game itself.
