Col Deadmarsh Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Can someone in the mod community make a treebase mod that goes with the stock grass? I tried the Gunslinger "look" and frankly, I don't like the grass. It doesn't look like grass at all to me. Too dark. I tried the other treebases on Combat Missions and CM Outpost but couldn't find one I liked. There's one out there that goes perfect with the stock grass but apparently no one has it for download and no one knows what I'm talking about. Lemme add one thing here...the treebase mod should show the different colors between each treebase so it's easily recognizable to the player. Mui importante. I don't want an animated look but something slightly lighter than Gunslinger's stuff would be nice. A treebase mod that would go equally well with both sunny and overcast weather. Anyone up for this challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Well for one, you're gonna be hard-pressed to find someone even using the stock grass let alone someone to mod to it. Especially anyone on here. I have found that Magua's new Normandy grass is very good looking. I just downloaded Juju's Woods Treebases on CM Outpost and it goes extremely well with it. I loaded up the scenario "49th Recce" and it looked like the most realistic landscape I've seen so far in CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hey thanks Maximus for mentioning that. I was unaware of Juju's efforts on treebases, and I am using the Normandy mod as an alternate background, so I'm on my way over to CMOutpost to check it out.

Maximus Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 They're in the "Early Bird" section. I guess I missed the original release of them as well and saw the mention of them on another thread, but didn't know where they were either until yesterday when someone provided a direct link to them. They are Hi-Res, 765K a tile, but that's not as bad as Hi-Res grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Leader Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hey Maxi post a pic, okay? I wanna see how these look with Normandy. It is no easy task to change out bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Again, on the issue of changing out terrain tiles (and other mods), I can't urge people enough to get a graphic managment program like Compupic, that lets you see the entire directory in thumbnails. You can move stuff around, rename it and view it close up...Cpic even lets you do significant alterations (lighten, brighten, resize, etc) all from the image viewer. Highly recommended. BTW, I have some bases on The Last Defense, you might try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 What I like about Juju's is that are are "busy enough" to look like undergrowth. And even though they are a little darker than most tree bases we've seen so far, I believes that it gives them a shadowing look like a thick forest should have. Here's a shot just hovering above an "orchard" showing some small clumps of woods with a large one in the background. (Smoke mod is that new "realsmoke" from CMHQ) Now here's a shot from a large hill over looking the lower flat area. Notice how it looks like a lot of undergrowth. Also notice how it blends well with the dark band in the sky/horizon hillside. And another note about the darkenss of the mod, to me, woods never really looked like woods because the tree density was never enough to create that forest look. The darkeness gives the illusion that the forest or woods tile is thicker than it really is. [ 06-19-2001: Message edited by: Maximus ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Holy crap! I just loaded up the scenario I was working on based on my neighborhood community and with the Normandy mod and Juju's Treebases, it looks the most realistic yet. Check it out. Now just don't call down some 290mm Rockets on my little ol' house there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Galanti Posted June 19, 2001 Share Posted June 19, 2001 Hrm... Guess I'm the only one who doesn't like all the subdued textures. All those pictures look like a world through sunglasses to me Colonel, if you find a better treebase for the brighter grasses, please post it. Thanks.

Col Deadmarsh Posted June 20, 2001 Author Share Posted June 20, 2001 Max, Magua's new stuff looks pretty good but aren't those mods for summer only? Can they be used for other seasons by copying some files somehow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Thanks for the tree-base praise Max. I recall I directed you to that link several weeks ago already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
