Vein Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Veins_TerrainDesaturation_CMBN_v2 has been uploaded to GAJ's site (or at least it will have been in a few minutes): http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods/ See THIS thread for pics: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=97542 This is a comprehensive mod of the terrain in CMBN encompassing 'Veins_Skies_Mod_V1' This mod includes new textures for the following: brick wall model top brick wall model w_normalmap ground water ground sand ground rocky red ground pavement2 ground mud ground green crop ground gravel ground grass ground grain ground dirt road ground dirt ploughed ns ground dirt ploughed ew ground cobblestones All paved road textures Railway textures clouds all skies sun Mountain clear textures N E S W Most other textures moddified to greater or lesser extent N.B. The screenshots included in the zip are reresentative of how the mod looks on MY monitor. Due to compression the colours may looked a little more saturated than they actually are. Zip includes README.txt Feel free to unpack the mod for use in your own personal setup but it would be best if my textures weren't used in uploaded mods. It could get confusing if there start to be mods of mods, and then mods of mods of mods etc. If you want to get the basic look of this mod, desaturate the stock textures to -30 in Photoshop or other image editing program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waycool Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Amazing! Love the subdued effect. It is much nicer then stock IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Awesome!!! Any effect on FPS that anyone has seen good or bad? Downloaded tonight going to load it up tomorrow. Great job sir! No effect on FPS because the file sizes are the same. I originally had the larger textures (grass, dirt) double sized to try to sharpen the detail close up, but there was a slight fps drop so I changed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 You're welcome guys, glad you like it. My mods are really all done just to please myself but if someone else enjoys them it makes all the uploading/screenshot-taking hassle worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCat Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Looks really good in-game, even the non-CMBN player (the wife, but is a gamer so I'm trying to get her to try playing CM ) in the house commented how much more realistic the game looks with your mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyJJ Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Fantastic work! Makes the game look superb, can't thank you enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGarner Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Now in your free time can you make some trees that dont grind my FPS to a slow crawl when they sway in the wind? Cool thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I could very easily. Unfortunately they would be invisible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 A couple things I noticed... mini ground grass.bmp and ground grass.bmp look just a bit too mottled/dark on my screen so what I did was take your v1 .bmps and mix them together adjusting the layer opacity of the v1 layer. Seems to have turned out pretty good. The new paved road with the rounded pattern seems a little out of place for a country paved road, no? A bit too fancy? Otherwise like I said before loving the mod, thanks a ton for uploading it for us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vein Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I did blur the mini grass after uploading but only by a smidge. I haven't come across the curved paved road in a rural setting yet so it may well look a little out of place. I have only seen it in built up areas. I may bring out a little 'hotfix' update in a few weeks with a few tweaked textures rather than a whole massive V3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCat Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Of course with TFT LCD displays it makes a big difference on your viewing angle for overall brightness/contrast. On one system I am look pretty much at the middle of the display, here of course it's darker and inspired me to make the tweak. On another I look more down at the screen and this one is much brighter of course, probably doesn't even need the little grass tweak I did, except to reduce the mottled effect. The mini .bmp is a bit too blurry for my tastes actually... mixing in the v1 .bmp does help it out a bit. I might want to just redo it. Is it really just the full grass .bmp shrunk down to 64x64? Yeah the pavement showed up right in the middle of a Quick Battle small map with a farm house in the middle in a very rural setting. Hotfix update sounds like a much easier plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
