It's weird that I've forgot to mention this up until now.
I'm colorblind, and I don't see any difference between the green and yellow doors at all.
It'd really help if one of them were slightly darker or something.

I think you have mentioned somewhere before. Even though yours is probably a very rare case, maybe Erik or someone can upload a file for you to downloadd with slightly different colours.

Can you tell the difference for blue doors?

I just searched for "colorblind", and it appears that I mentioned it in the questionaire.

Can you tell the difference for blue doors?

Yup, clearly.

You played Dugan's Dungeon up to L12 and built a hold, but you are colourblind at the same time?

I'm impressed - not being able to tell which is a green or yellow door may make a room very hard to play, and building a hold in the editor without being able to check you've used the correct door colour is probably quite inconvenient.

Perhaps, like Hawk says, you could ask Erik for a colour fix so that the doors could appear more visibly different to you.

DISCLAIMER - this is purely a suggestion and I take no responsibility if it doesn't work

You could try modifying the GeneralTiles.bmp image and modify the colour of green doors to soemthing darker.

Again, no responsibility taken if this screws up your computer/DROD save files/life.

It shouldn't do that at all. It's just the bitmap tileset - you can do anything to it that you like and the only effect it will have is to change what the actual tiles look like.

If you don't want to colour the tiles entirely as Krammer mentioned, you could just put a pixel spot of black on the green tiles in a drawing as a marker to distinguish them from yellow doors. (The Green doors are the ones on the second row of doors at the bottom of the General Tiles bitmap)

I've never been happy with having all the doors be the same shape - it looks a tad lazy. I've been meaning to bring it up for a while now. So your cause has given me impetus to go and make some changes to graphics! Huzzah!

Edit: Looking at what I've achieved has disheartened me, so I might prod someone who can do graphics.
