ALY’S IMPROVED GFX – VISIBLE RAILROADS: SUPPLY MAP MODE

A small sequel to my original mod (which you can find through the banner above), this mod edits the textures for the railways in the supply map mode, so you only have to see the colored textures in that mode, or when building railways.

Unfortunately, there is a bottleneck. Normally (excluding the damaged railroad texture), there are only three railroad textures for the supply map mode, which cycle out as: Lv.1 = thin, Lv.2 + 3 = thick and Lv. 4 + 5 = thickest. Thus, I can only use three colors in this mod to indicate railroad quality and what you should aim for. However, this mod is compatible with it’s predecessor which changes all railroads on the regular/infantry map with a variety of colors, which I totally recommend to go with this mod.

The higher the level railroad, the more supplies that get transported from the capital, and the quicker troops get transported. This makes railways an integral gameplay element. Apart from supply hubs themselves, they’re a *big* priority in wars.

This mod adds extremely simplified railroad GFX for the supply map mode – no complicated visuals, just simply visible, brightly-colored level indicators:

– Level 1 is a bright red (255, 0, 0).
– Level 2 + 3 is a bright yellow (255, 255, 0).
– Level 4 + 5 is a bright green (0, 255, 0).

This’ll give you the advantage in MP, and it doesn’t change checksum, so it still works for achievements. Have fun!

=====================================

USAGE POLICY:
(Same as the original mod.)

It’s not like I can copyright/trademark this, have fun lol it took me less-than half-an-hour. You can leave a link back here (for those interested) somewhere, but it’s not a requirement if you want to integrate it into your own mod (but I’d sure like it and it wouldn’t be a rude move :D). Just please don’t claim you made it.

I’ll keep this updated for any updates PDX commits to HoI4. Once all the applicable major mods get updated, I’ll update this mod as a dependency of most of them so it gets loaded last and will load in properly.
