Make carrier waypoints brighter on nav screens #7

Closed hoylemd closed 3 years ago

I found they were easy to get lost in the terrain overlays with the current colour (e.g. ocean depth) So I made them more grey and brighter so they show up better.

before (in depth mode): nav_screenorig

after (in depth mode) nav_screennew

And to give an idea of how it looks on other overlays:

cartographic: nav_screen_cart

current: nav_screen_curr

wind: nav_screen_wind

The other overlays didn't show anything in the area of my carrier so I didn't bother to grab those.

Hey, I'm working with the devs to incorporate this mod into the base game. Unfortunately, the code you contributed in the past was covered under the GPL 3.0 license (which I've since deleted). In order for the devs to incorporate your code into the base game, I need you to waive your rights to it. Otherwise it opens up the devs to legal action and I'll be forced to remove all your contributions to the mod.

The official thread for full integration is here: https://geometa.co.uk/support/carriercommand/1399/

Can you please comment the following:

To be fair, all I did was change some colour values, so even if I didn't y'all could just... pick a different colour :p

Great news about integrating it into the game! I'm taking a break from CC2, excited to see what it's like when I come back!

Actually one thing I should mention: I put approximately no thought into picking that colour, I just made it brighter so I could see it with the ocean depth overlay. it would be good to have an actual designer at least review the colour pick to make sure I didn't pick one that's for e.g. invisible to a certain type of colourblindness.
