Shilds and grafics

Hello, Is there a way to move the shild (with the HP) out of the red line that comes upp when you press the button that moves the shild?

Exampel; I want the HP shild in the lower left corner.

I have notist that some grafics have shilds that the HP shild can´t get to.

I believe (I am not sure), that you do the blue lines in Photoshop, and do not use the in-game editor. Ask Curt.

The shield position is fixed by 2 blue pixels (palette index 250, R:0 G:0 B:255 in the civ2 palette); the horizontal position is set by placing a blue pixel on the top green unit border and similarly vertical position is set with a blue pixel on the left vertical green line. See the pic attached for examples. If you want to remove the HP shield altogether, place the pixels in the extreme right / bottom positions on the green border lines.

GoPostal is right - the in-game editor won't place shields at the furthest right postions of the unit slot, IIRC. Do you gfx manually.
