Tanks a Lot Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 in progress. I decided to take a shot at making a plowed wheat field. I think I understand why Murpes never released his, because it's not easy. I've done three of the six textures so far. Is it worth finishing the rest?

Priest Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 YES! And how are you doing man? Long time no speak. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Murrin Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Keep going! I have more of your mods in my game than anyone else's mods. It looks just fine for a half finished mod. [ June 08, 2002, 12:03 AM: Message edited by: von Murrin ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeauCoupDinkyDau Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Ed, Try to round the corners of the wheat when it makes a 90 degree turn. It will look more realistic methinks. I use your dark-green-meadow grass BTW. It's awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it better, but haven't released it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scipio Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Good idea. Looks more realistic than the usual 'flat wheat' . But it could be a bit darker, don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it could be a bit darker, don't you think?I have to lighten up my screenshots because they come out too dark. It doesn't look too light in the game IMHO. It's darker than DD's and much darker than Desert Fox's wheat mod. Maybe if I make a fall version, it will be darker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Die Easy Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Tanks a Lot, this mod is amazing - all your mods are the best of the best. Thank you so much for your hard work - it is really appreciated. Mr. Die Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Hey Tanks A Lot looking good. It's extremely more realistic looking then anything else available so I'd say YES please continue and release it when ready. For some reason I seem to be using all of your outstanding mods. I wonder why? Again, I thank you for all your hard work and thinking of us by making this excellent game even more fun and enjoyable to play.

Lawyer Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Ed, I'm a big fan who uses your mods. I've also spent time scouting Belgium terrain on vacation. I think the top photo looks a bit like a rug. The bottom close up looks better. But the rounded till effect looks more like Iowa than Belgium to me. The IH combine look doesn't give me the feel of 1944 Europe. Because Euro fields (particularly at CM scale) are typically smaller and far less tilled by IH machines in 1944, as well as today, I believe you would do better to drop the rounded corner pattern and just do straight back and forth rows. When tiled next to other textures like rough, this gives a pretty good small farm look. Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work. PS. I'm going back in August to take more photo's and hope to be able to share them with mod-makers like you. Cheers, Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Panzer Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 tanks: ...bless you for taking this project into your capable hands. i have no doubt the textures will not only see the light of day, but will also turn out splendidly.

Tanks a Lot Posted June 8, 2002 Author Share Posted June 8, 2002 Thanks for the nice comments. Lawyer: I removed the rounded corners. Because of the way that CM rotates textures 90 degrees, the rows won't always face the same direction. Is this better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I like how it does such a nice job of showing terrain contours. Good work! DjB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 HiHi, *cool* mod! The rounded corners are better, by the way! Regards, Thomm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcm1947 Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Just my opinion Tanks A Lot but yes the last picture looks much more real to me. The first actually did kind of look like a rug. So now we'll finally have wheat fields that actually look like wheat. What an idea. Should look oh so much better in the game. You the ground guy Tanks A Lot. And again thank you for another mod I'll sure be using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtweasle Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 They both look great, thanks for making these! Even though the rounded corner option might be less realistic, it looks better my eye than the one with the 90' shift not quite right. I don't suppose there is a way to make all the tiles line up either North - South or East - West? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
