Low-elevation Color Schemes for SC4 Mapper & Terraformer



I've used Swordmaster's excellent Red-Purple color scheme for SC4 mapper for years, but wanted something with a tighter gradient at lower elevations. Taking a page from his book, I made two variations: "Enhanced," based on the Red-Purple scheme, and "Muted," based on the Brown scheme.



These color schemes are intended for regions with terrain below 1600 meters; anything over that height will just appear white on the map. Particular emphasis was put on differentiating elevation in the first 5 meters above sea level to make planning harbors easier.



To use these color schemes with SC4 Mapper, replace the appropriate basicColors.ini file in the following directory:



C:\Program Files (x86)\SC4 Mapper 2013\



To use this color scheme with SC4 Terraformer, replace the appropriate basicColors.ini file in the following directory:



C:\Program Files (x86)\SC4TFV11\datas\



Enjoy!
