PNG Army Numbers

Post by thenobodies80 »

Every mapmaker comes to a point where he needs to have the Army numbers on the map.
Maybe you want to give evidence of neutrals territories on the map, or give the visual idea of the starting drop on the map, or again just because you want to be sure that all 3 digits fit the map.

For each of these situations, or for any other reason, you can find the most used 3 files attached to this post: 888 in all colors, 88 with color letters and finally 0-9 neutrals.

To download them, right click on the images and save them on your computer. ;)

good job thank you I see you completed my initial file with orange army

my advice to mapmakers

as I've always said the fitting test should be done with letters because of the legs

and legibility test with 33's against the background
if you have a bluish background put the blue 33 on it and see if you can tell it is 33 or 88
blue is always the most problematic colour because of the lack of contrast between the black outline and the blue filling
when it is against a dark bluish background it blurs itself in it

a good map as always good graphics

I need to enquire about these army numbers.
For 1588 Spanish Armada...there is room for 12 players.
1. From BR maps, the capacity obviously exits?
2. Moving forward, we have red, green, blue, yellow, pink, cyan, orange and gray....from the battle royal i can see there are other colours...can i get these next 4 colours in their offical RGB and Hex please.

BRs have more than eight players, but only the first eight have fixed official colours. The rest are generated randomly (every time you load the game page, I think). Only when the Submitted Suggestion to Increase to 12 Players is implemented will we know what the official colours for players 9 through 12 will be.

I would hope that the code for the server would be well structured enough that changing the number of players would not be difficult. It might be a challenge to change the games database while it is live, however, so that might be a holdup. There may be some questions in lackattack's mind about other effects: will small maps become farmers' fields because players will start with only one or two territories; is there a real return on investment for the time it takes to implement; ... Who really knows other than lack why this hasn't been done already?

I don't know what is going on. When I save the image to my computer, and then bring it up in Gimp as a new layer, it makes the image appear smaller. Idk why its doing it. I could just make them bigger by stretching them out but it doesn't look as good. Any suggestions?

They may appear smaller as the background will be transparent and not white. They are the correct size though.

Here are all the new colours in 888 format. I took the colours from the game screens so I know they are correct.

The 888 numbers seem to have disappeared from the earlier posts. Anybody have that?

Would be funny if CC didn't have a copy of their own army numbers.
