So I have been tinkering with a new colour scheme for the terrain for Campaign Series Vietnam - to be added as a MOD.

It is substantially different.
IT IS NOT FINAL - DISREGARD THE GREEN ARTIFACTS, this is only a proof of concept, so I quickly resized one file to get the other files (hence the green artifacts!)

Keep in mind, with 50 elevations, the terrain file is same graphics file for all the screenshots.

Thoughts? Comments?

I like the Reddy/Orange Colours.
They remind me of Squad Leader type maps with the elevated red colour.

Can't really see too many details because it is so zoomed out.

Thank you, Barly!

I'm thinking the lower levels (0-5) can be a bit brighter green.

They are pretty dark in these screenshots.

I'll try a revised colour ramp that impacts those lower elevations.

Great work, I like it. Would help a lot.

Yeah the more I look at this the more I like it Barly, shows the elevations a lot better, nice work!!

Alright! Take Two!

I think this turned out nicer. What do you think? 

I'm calling this the 2D - Hypsometric Tint Mod

The only thing I have to figure out is the jump map.

That's pretty cool too! The lower elevations "green" have a better effect IMO. More pleasing. Nice work!!

I like those a lot. Nice job.

Cool.
I am looking forward to the download.

Chris was gracious enough to help me sort out the Night files with the new colour scheme.

Here's how the night files look.
