Panzer Leader Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 Nice! Man, I wish we had a CMMOS to switch back and forth. After all, I don't want my opponents to know I use such gamey play-aids when I post screenshots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and we really need a forum exclusively for mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianc Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 First link to Steppe grass is incorrect and points to CMBBsnow.zip. Please fix or do somefink! Thanks for making these available for D\L guys; you rock! ianc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wacky Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 Originally posted by fiftymicrolitres: Could you do hexes, pretty please? thanks 5mSorry, but I don't think it can be done due to the way CM repeats grass tiles, or at least it can't be done the ways I tried. Maybe someone else can give it a shot. [ September 28, 2002, 11:31 AM: Message edited by: Captain Wacky ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Wacky Posted September 28, 2002 Author Share Posted September 28, 2002 Bump. I've been working on a hex mod, but it's pretty frustrating. Creating the hex layer is easy, but getting the hexes to line up at the edges of each tile is real bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Panzer Boxb Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 Originally posted by Carl Deppen: Hi, What's the difference between high and low resolution?The the difference is the size of the texture and therefore the quality. A high-res texture looks less "grainy" or pixelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullethead Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Captain Wacky- I really appreciate your efforts, but I was wondering if you could make some grids that were a bit more subtle? Let me explain what I mean... Back in CMBO, there was a mod called "Velvet Grass" that just rocked. Each tile had all kinds of different colored pixels on it with the result that the ground looked to be covered with very realistic, tiny 3D-looking moguls and stuff. Then somebody made a gridded version of it by simply erasing very thin stripes of these multi-colored pixels leaving the original, plain green showing. And he did these stripes through the center of the tiles instead of around the edges, so you dind't get a double width of grid line at the tile boundaries. This was simply superb. The overall effect was the best of both worlds. If you looked at the map while zoomed out, the gridlines were invisible unless you wanted to see them. And even when you were zoomed in, they weren't obtrusive and you could choose not to register them if you didn't want to. Do you think you're up to making something like that?

Do you think you're up to making something like that?I don't think it would be too hard. I'm not all that familiar with fooling around with textures and have no artistic ability, but I could easily make the grid lines more transparent. They are simply a layer on top of the normal grass tile and transparency can be adjusted easily. I think that's what you are asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
