Alright, so I'm trying to make a blue fade on the mini map, changing colors using the crystals. Problem is I can't seem to find the right colors for a blue then slowly changing to black and all. I used the PColor Program that I found in the database to check out all the colors but some of them appear differently on the mini map. So I was wondering if there was anyone good with colors and could recommend me which ones to use for a good color fade. Also I need to know the best way to trigger the fading. I mean I don't like from it starting going from bottom to top, left to right. If there's a better way like maybe going diagonal or something. Please and thanks. Sorry for being lazy and not trying out all 255 colors D:

The colors will vary from tileset to tileset, and no single tileset supports all 255 colors AFAIK.
If you've been bruting it, you'll notice most of the time there's a group of 7 or 8 very similar colors...look for one blue on your tileset, then go from there.

As far as the fade effect itself, you'll have to be more specific. Is it a small area? Are they all buildings? And can any unit move and possibly mess up a preset trigger?

Hmm? How do the player colors vary from tileset to tileset?

For the fade effect, it's a word spelled out with crystals from the Powerups section, I want it to be going from blue changing to black then back to blue. No unit will be interrupting it.

See for yourself...open up PColor, and select a random color [try something in the 30's]. Now change the tileset between all of them. The minimap color, IIRC doesn't stay the same either.

Well that's good. Gimme the name of the powerup, the number, all that good stuff if you give me a screenie of what you've got, I can give you triggers that'll change the colors on the minimap later today. I'm going to bed soon, sorry

I don't really got anything.. I was only testing colors a while ago but I just got lazy D:

I was talking about the units...but that's alright.
