Color dysfunctions!

Postby Agrikaan on Sat May 17, 2008 11:16 am

Hey Ombey!

Great maps, great forum!

I will now report the last issues I have for you... As you may remember, I invert the colors in Acrobat Reader, as I sit in a dark room playing EVE (which is dark). It strains my eyes to have the maps on the second monitor with white background - and it lights up the entire room! :)

Edit/Preferences/Accessibility
Check Replace Document colors, Custom color, select black background, with Document text.
Check "Only change the color of black text or line art" and
"Change the color of line as as well as text".

Now the last issues (and thanks for fixing the others earlier):

Syndicate: The three separate "circular" regions seem to have a fixed white background.

Tash-Murkon Prime: ALL of the map still has a white background.

Malpais: White borders around about 1/3 of the systems, those in the upper mid and upper right positions.

Thanks!

Hi Agrikaan

Thanks for the mail, it reminds me not to forget!

Syndicate- think I have nailed this now. I compared the dotted outline object with another region which has a similar one, and found the issue. S/be fixed in next release.

Tash, I think I know what the problem is.

Malpais. No bloody idea with this one. Leave it with me!

Yaay, new maps, awesome and nice.

USING REVERSED COLORS;

The nice checkered border is not visible, it becomes only a white thick border.

EVE Universe. The marker for empire is bright, and obscures all lines inside it.

Querios has a white circle (around V-VKJV), "filled".

GENERAL NOTES;

The purple, blue, and black system names may need clarification? I assume its "contested" systems, as they seem to exist in maps only marked with "Mixed" sovereignty. And sorry to say, the black names turn white with reversed colors... Sometimes green/red denotes system security rating, sometimes NPC faction sov?

PS: Tash-Murkon is finally perfect! Thanks!

Leave these with me- the border I have no idea why, and as for the Universe marker for empire.... it needs to be a light colour to avoid obsuring the text

I didn't make it clear enough in the key it seems, I thought I did. The coloured systems are all coloured by constellation. They exist in all 0.0 maps, not just mixed sov ones (eg. Syndicate).

Green/ red only donates system sec rating (hi/low) in Empire.

Malpais is good. All is good! Thanks again for the work and effort to make us that sit in very dark rooms being able to use it better.

Hello! Great work as usual. New version, new (and some old) inverted color issues... ;)

All pages: Checkered borders: 1,3 and B,D etc visible, white text on black. The others are white text on white.

Key box, page 3: All white inside (and white text), can't see anything but little colored dots and symbols.

Malpais (again): The circle in the lower right all white inside.

The Spire: Circle at lower left all white.

Syndicate: All three circles white inside.

Thanks again for all the work!

right, I think I've nailed all your issues, and compiled those 4 maps into a PDF for you to test.

Where can I email to you?
