coastal_fort retouch

Here's a retouch job I did on one of puma's(i think?) artworks-for your enjoyment. The guns, I think, are too big, and in-game it looks a bit off in say, Moscow or Helsinki, but it looks great in Dover or Brest And anyway, why do I have a coastal-fort in Moscow???

It looks pretty good. Anyway, I got no idea what that coastal-fort is doing in Moscow helmi_oh
I can't check because HoI isn't installed atm but I'm pretty sure that's caused by some mod.

I'd recommend to just use original gfx from HoI2 and adjust the size etc. to your liking.
It may also be possible to export the palette of these original gfx and import them to your own (depending on gfx programm).
If you create a new picture it may be sufficient to use a standard 8bit palette and for transparency these hexadecimal colors: 00ff00 or ff00ff .
If I remember correctly ff00ff is sometimes used for shadows (sprites).

Remember, I haven't installed HoI2 atm so I can't check these information!

I haven't used Paint.net yet but all advanced gfx programms should be sufficient. (like f.ex. Gimp, Photoshop, PhotoImpact etc.) helmi_salut
