Default Re: My mod....Kinda

It is purplish.

The standard practice in games (or any program) is that if you are going to have a special effect forced into a graphic, then you need to have the area for the affect be colored something you dont plan to use. Its like green-screening used in making movies. That way its simple for a program to remove that color and do the effect there.

For the position of a province on the map Dominions uses 1 pure white dot (255,255,255) but you dont need to worry about that for modding.

For transparent Dominions uses pure black (0,0,0).
For a shadow effect Dominions uses Magenta (pinky purple) 255,0,255)

I think thats all of the reserved colors that Dom uses
