Enhanced Vine and Field Print Mod

After mistakenly placing some vine fields underneath a farm, I decided to make a simple mod that makes the field and vine blueprints stand further apart.

Update! Krom made his own edits and they are quite a bit better. I've Included them.

To install, simply extract the contents of the folder into your KaM Remake directory.

Sounds like a good idea :-)
The colors are a bit jittery (due to shadows too?), do you think you can make them smoother?

Not sure what you mean. Could you please explain?

I'm not sure if these are JPG compression artifacts or not, so I've made a PNG copy:

Violet plans have some stray white dots and black dots around them, but they dont have lit/shaded sides. That makes them look flat and jittery.
Orange plans also look a bit flat and black jitter around them and in black strips parts. They also get lost on the orange grass background.

I've mocked up more pronounce shadows and recolored the Fileds plans a bit:

P.S. I'm not sure you intended to include 4_0108z and 4_0554 files. Why don't you like KaM swords by the way? ;-)

Lol, I forgot to remove them xD
I use Teamspeak overlay and it's a lot easier to see it over the blank, wooden background ;)

Just 3 players to be precise. Ben's mod was downloaded once and mine - 3 times xD

Personally, I don't encounter this problem often enough to consider installing this mod worth it, sorry.

Though in my opinion this could be worth officially adding to the Remake, maybe as an optionally enabled feature through the Options menu... it's simple, it's not bad looking, doesn't directly affect the flow of the game and can be useful.

I like it, it's quite useful, since the difference is much more visible now. Not to mention, I never understood why the field plans weren't more different from each other.
