Lucky_Strike Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 16 hours ago, Falaise said: we can mix the Rambler's hedge, that of Lucky and that of stock to obtain variations.we can use various names with and without space which will more or less modify the randomnessex: boccage; boccage2; boccage 2; boccage3; boccage 3 etc .... @Falaise I tried this in the past and it didn't work for me, so I just had another go and YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! GENIUS!!! What I discovered, in a quick and colourful experiment, is that the numbering is somewhat odd, but we can indeed have a (probably unlimited) number of extra bocage textures which I don't think will impact on framerate, maybe it'll have an impact on load times. The numbering goes like this: boccage.bmp; boccage2.bmp; boccage 2.bmp; boccage 3.bmp; boccage 4.bmp; boccage 5.bmp; boccage 6.bmp; ... I stopped at seven textures but as you can see it's possible that we can have loads of different textures - which means I can do a few more to add quite a bit of variety - possibly some thinner, some deadwood, heavy branches ... dammit more work, nevermind, it'll make this hedgerow nerd happier. In the meantime here's a screenshot of some quick multiple bocage textures numbered as above ... And someone was so impressed he's using them as is: @Vacilllator not sure where Mr Wittmann could hide his Tiger here ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does "boccage1.bmp" sabotage the rest so that nothing else other than "boccage.bmp" shows up? Presumably "boccage 2.bmp" was an error(?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be boccage 1.bmp or boccage1.bmp. boccage 2.bmp and boccage2.bmp seem to both work, but boccage3.bmp doesn't, and so on ... also let's not mention boccage as opposed to bocage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quakerparrot67 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 this would be a big improvement- the bocage would finally look almost as good as the rest of the foliage. it's a shame that the look of the hedgerows is so locked in, but falaise's idea with your textures may have cracked it. thank you and all the other modders for your time. you really make cm so much more immersive and visual. cheers, rob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does "boccage1.bmp" sabotage the rest so that nothing else other than "boccage.bmp" shows up? Presumably "boccage 2.bmp" was an error(?) So, neither boccage1.bmp nor boccage 1.bmp appear, nor does boccage .bmp. Having them in your mod folder has no impact on the game nor what is displayed, ie all the other bocage textures show if for example boccage1.bmp is present. No idea why both boccage 2.bmp and boccage2.bmp work, something hardcoded for boccage2.bmp I guess. This all means I'm good to go on more bocage textures 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
