Yeah, as per the post on the previous page, I have given that scenario an H&E conversion. Although I think I will try making my own map... as not only will it help to avoid me "burning out" with all the modding but also better undertsand what scenario/map creators might need.

37mm Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) I'm actually kind of enjoying this map making lark,. A small village (and its associated Rice Paddies) astride of the highway & rail line & to the North of Bong Son... ... still awhile to go.

You want colonial? Ici c'est coloniale …. Map sheet 6229 IV - Khiem Ich MGRS 48P XS 300530 Vietnam 1:50 000 series L7014 - map information correct as of 1969. This is a plantation on my Ap Bac map that @37mm posted images of a couple of days ago. Edited August 26, 2019 by Combatintman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, skins 11, 12, 13 & 14 come with 'colonial' roof textures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37mm Posted August 27, 2019 Author Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) I've made some changes to the modpack based on this map-making attempt, so it's certainly been a productive exercise. Either way, there's no mistaking this map for Syria! PS It is kinda funny checking out our maps without the modpack...

Pertaining to our conversation in the other thread about moving Black Sea's mdr files into SF2. Here's a test I just did moving CMBN's mdrs and textures into SF. It was a quick check and I didn't rename anything etc. You get the sloped roofs without doing any model work. The flat roof textures ended up on the peaks but I didn't bother delving deeper into what needed to be renamed (or if it's even possible) to get the BN roof texture to show. There's still at least one flat roof present, which could come in handy, or be renamed to get the slope. Anyway, something to consider when you go back to the Euroscape mod. Might be less work if the roof textures are a simple renaming of bmps. Mord. Edited August 30, 2019 by Mord 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definately possible... as we've got CMFI roof textures to show by simple renaming. Sarge uses them for his Colonial buildings, I've also used them in the cities. Additionally, the 'Chimneyless huts' you've been seeing for a few months just use alpha channels (& a few other bits & bobs) on top of those roof textures... at the time they were made we weren't even considering the blender techniques. The strangest oddity we have with the roof swapping is the bizarre "generic roof damage texture" issue which me & the Sarge mentioned here.
