Modifying / Changing Distributed Files
Changing the way icons appear on the map: The bitmap files used to render images of units on the MDC map may be modified or replaced with other customized bitmap images of the same name, causing the MDC map to display your image(s) instead of the images shipped with the MDC product.
• Images MUST
of a Windows Bitmap file type.
• The color
of the pixel in the upper left corner of the bitmap image will be the
color used as the transparency color for the image.
Changing the sounds and alert tones: The .wav files that are used to sound various audible notifications may be replaced with other .wav files to create different sounds and audible alerts. The duration of the .wav file should be kept as short as possible to avoid delaying MDC processing.
