i may as well get in on the act too mibi....these army colours are courtesy of the xml test page.

if you use Arial font size 14 with colour fill and black borders you should be able to simply type the numbers in a separate layer for testing purposes.

1. #ff0000 = red
2. #009a04 = green
3. #0000ff = dark blue
4. #ffff00 = yellow
5. #ff00ff = pink
6. #00ffff = teal
7. #ff9922 = orange
8. #7f7f7f = gray
9. #ffffff = neutral

the last 88 is just the outline. its actually transparent where as the first 88 is white. I added the fill and outline to people can add additional colors what have you easily.

army color code 33's

Post by pamoa »

Since CC added the possibilty of displaying armies color code, I think map making should evolve.
Every new map should be able to display a 3 digit army including color code "legs" (green, yellow, pink).
Now the minimum size is 24 pixels wide and 15 pixels high, 18 if you want to have the numbers centered vertically.

Exactly, because "888" is 24 x 12 pixels and "g33" is 24 x 15 or even 18 if you want to have the same space above and below the numbers (vertically centered).
On some "old" small maps it is allready a problem.
The test should even be with 4 digits "g333" to ensure legibility!

I made the test on a map I'm currently editing and it's BIG! The white rectangle is 26 x 20 pixels.

question:
i just read about an XML centering problem with 2 and 3 digits numbers. It says the 3 digits is not centered but aligned left with the 2 digits number. How does it work with armies color code ?

I believe it's centered around the letter and first digit. For example:
1 is centered on the 1
g1 is centered between the g and the 1
12 is centered between the 1 and the 2
g12 is centered between the g and the 1.
123 is centered between the 1 and 2.
g123 is centered between the g and the 1

At least, that's what appeared to be the case when I went and flipped the color codes on and off a bunch of times on one of my games with 3 digit armies.

So it means between the two first digits. Very accurate answer, thanks!

You are only required to make centered digits for 88. 888 (or 88 color code) is required to make sure that those don't obscure other number or some text on the map.

Yeah the answer is accurate but the code is ... let say a bit approximative :D
