Imo it would be a good thing, removing a lot of confusion with people not as familiarized with the maps (even knb maps, those that we never play because we have no idea what they are)
Talking with @buckethead about this idea he agreed that would be useful and thinks its technically doable, but there is a question if that is really something that people would want.

I like this idea. To show my approval,
"Ahhhh, this one!"

[kami_ryu]

Nice suggestion.

[Atomiswave]

Great suggestion, I wonder is it possible?

[Rikikipu]

Really nice suggestion, I need to talk about it in the map team, but I guess it will be approved

Nice!

By the way, while we're discussing maps. Is it possible to adjust the textures for Herald Island a bit? The pure white snow ground texture is a little tough on the eyes, maybe break up all the white with another texture (like Yukon or the ground underneath the TC on Herald Island)?

Just a meager suggestion, the map itself is quite nice.

This would be pretty cool, but it would have to be a static image, but it does give people a general overview of map.

Play Herald Island with lowest graphic settings.

I will never be able to see white again

The textures on herald island and thar desert seem to bug out for some people on certain graphic settings. For me they both look great on max settings, but I've seen that they are crazy bright for some other players.Try to adjust your shader setting or something else in the graphics section and see if it helps.

[MCJim]

Definitely a good idea if it's possible!

[pecelot]

Damn, don't you have brightness adjustments for your screens?

[momuuu]

Yeah the snow maps are always fine for me but I've heard quite a few people complain about it.

[kami_ryu]

Adjusting graphic settings on the fly is a hassle I'm not a fan of, especially since you then lose the XP notations.

Max graphics means that on winter maps you can't see units clearly.

This is just me nitpicking at details though, don't think this is super serious or anything.

[pecelot]

I've been playing for quite some time now on graphics I'd consider closer to the maximum and I can claim it's false I have no issues with recognising units on winter maps. I guess it's also about the adjustment and getting used to it, but after some time you should have no hassle

I use a custom setting a little under maximum, and I have the same thing on heraldisland, with the texture beeing super bright. Changing stuff in settings does fix but its kinda undesirable since thats how im used to play in all maps... Not a urgert issue imo since it only affects some people, and its not gamebreaking.., but might be worth a fix in a future revision of the map

Ive had varying thar desert textures, not sure about the snow texture thing.

[Rikikipu]

Well it's an issue. That's why in this EP update I've changed Tassili lightset because of some people complaing about it. Since the games files are the same for everyone I guess it's an issue in some parameters in your computer graphical parameters, which can be solved by tweaking on Catalyst (AMD) or on Nvidia Panel some things about the brightness.
The weird thing is that if I recall correctly, Herald Island uses Yukon textures + Yukon lightset so the render should be the same as on Yukon.
Thar Desrt is the only map right now that uses a custom RGB color that I did (it's not a game file), so RGB color should be the same for everyone. But it's good to have those feedbacks, cause if I see various people complaining about it then in the next EP update I try to fix it by finding new lighsets.

I would like to, sadly I don't find someone intersted to do it....

Well you need a software like photoshop or photofiltre, a mask that I can give to you, and not that much knowledges tbh.
Then send mz the files and I add it on the EP :)

I dont have any of those programs, but can just send the screenshots on to you.

up.
because its relevant again with more and more maps in the pool

I don't think this had made it into EP4. To some extent, it can at least now be implemented with tools outside of the game. @Ashvin 's lobby UI does include images for most maps, including RE maps: https://eso-c.herokuapp.com/

The lightset has been changed on EP4, please let us know whether this fixed the problem for you, once you try it out.
