DCS Revised: A Better Color Scheme

[erictom333]

Sorry West Africa took so long, I had many other things to do, and the sections in Africa are really big and probably need breaking up.

 

[MrVulcan]

Any updates?

Any updates?

Apologies for the delay. Central Africa's one third done. I've been occupied with homework and other things, and the Congo's a hard region to do full stop.

That's fair.

Central Africa is finally done, sorry it took so long (I was busy doing other things). Next up, East Africa.

No worries. I'm just glad you finished it.

 

[erictom333]

Apologies for the long wait, here's East Africa. Haven't been able to do much lately because of holidays and schoolwork.

Thanks for at least continuing! What about a separate colour for the Lord's Resistance Army/Christian extremist terrorist group - or would I use the Chrstian theocratic colour, or the Acholi colour?

How come the Xia Dynasty is in the Mongolia section?

How come the Xia Dynasty is in the Mongolia section?

It refers to the dynasty from the Sixteen Kingdoms period, not the ancient dynasty that is currently synonymous with Taihang. I've patched the color to accomodate for this,

How do people use these colour schemes? In my personal workflow it's far easier to type in RGB triplets or HTML codes, so for me to use the various colour schemes I have to make a spreadsheet that lists the colour values.

I think it's intended for you to import the colour scheme directly into your image editor and use the colour picker to get the colours you need when you need them.

I agree with the sentiment though.

Even in MS Paint it's easy, just open another tab and copy whatever section you're using, then paste it somewhere.

That's what I do anyway. And for me, it works perfectly.

South Africa is finally done (sorry for the glacial pace at which I've been doing these, I've lost motivation to work on it). Next is the Indian Ocean, and then the Old World is completely finished!

Can we help you in any way with motivation?

Can we help you in any way with motivation?

Absolutely!

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

Absolutely!

Cool! What can we do to help you with motivation?

 

[erictom333]

Finally, the Indian Ocean, and hence Africa and the entirety of the Old World, is done. I'll update the WIP in the OP. Should I go straight to the Americas next, or detour to the miscellaneous sections?

 

[Pragmatic Progressive]

I would like both approaches, but I personally would go to the Americas first.
