Enhanced and detailed grass mod

[Lizzard]

i want to use this mod. which files i should install? grass textures only and ground textures only at the same time?

 

just replace the noise file in your "LandTexturesWinterOther.zip" that`s all:)

Glad you liked it. I'll include the new texture in the discharge of the first post to be one package. :)

hi ebabil, if you want to use all the mod you must download the texture pack terrain and then you can also download the textures for the grass (for low flights or CA) you can choose the 8K or 4K version. Or if you prefer to only use texture recent winter can download it and install it as Lizzard said.

 

I'll reupload within minutes the first pack of terrain textures to include the new winter texture ...

Ready! :thumbup: The first post is now updated with new texture for winter. With respect to the texture for the grass, made new changes in my Medium.lua file, modifying the most important single lines, and also I am now using the 4k version, and I think now might have less loss for fps.

 

Only these two lines:

 

Line 48: Height = 400.0;

Line 132: smallNoiseStartDistance = 200.0;

Thanks mate. Great job! :)

Do these Medium.lua file edits apply to just the grass mod or both grass AND terrain mod?

The modification of these lines in the file medium.lua is to improve the visibility of mod grass is not necessary for the terrain mod, but if you use both, if necessary. :)

Folder "Bazar\Terrain\vfstextures\LandTextures" has already been added by the "Enhanced Terrain" mod.

"blend_noise.bmp.dds" has already been altered by the "Enhanced Terrain" mod.

[Stonehouse]

it is normal if you try to run 2 Mods affecting the same files/folders with JSGME. So JSGME tells you "Hey dude..there is an other mod dealing with that folders..do you really want to install the new mod?!?"

[Stonehouse]

Sorry T.Jacob, you are probably going to feeling like shooting me. Your winter texture was so good I went and loaded up Spring Summer and Autumn to compare them and now that you've set the benchmark with winter lol I can see that to a lesser extent the same tiling/striping exists in the other seasons too. Again know you are busy (I really never expected to log on this morning and see you had fixed winter) so if you feel like looking at it and when you have time please think about doing whatever magic you did to winter to the others.

 

Best wishes,

These mods are BRILLIANT!

I am having big trouble to download from the hoster right now, anyone else having this? Could you maybe upload it in the user section or a alternative hoster?

 

edit: NVM problem resolved.

Off topic...

 

Just thinkin... {I don't know why I surprised that Mustang uses stock Ka-50 cockpit...}

yes..really crazy..I never ever used the winter season very much, because all the terrain mods and the stock terrain just didn`t look like real winter..but with this mod I find myself flying mostly in Winter now..very cool mod indeed:thumbup:

[NRG-Vampire]

fyi, there is no real snowy winter in Georgia except in the high Caucasus mountains

so i think that's why ed does not use "full-winter" textures

by the way: im curious what kind of winter (and other seasonal) textures will we get with the NTTR map :)

[T. Jacob]

I believe that creating an entire winter is the best choice to have a stronger visual feel and see that the ground is covered with snow. Although not correspond to a real Georgian winter but perhaps a bit like Russian winters. I think when I created that texture was inspired by the winter of IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad.

 

Well ... I like :thumbup:

For other seasons the work is more difficult. Hide repetition is very difficult because the other seasons have differences in the same texture, I mean, light areas, dark areas, gravel areas and other areas with shrubs. The differences that can not be removed, make visible repetition of texture, especially if you use an extreme visibility. The different zones is very difficult to hide repetition is inevitable that you will always see the pattern. With winter texture I could manage to hide a little repetition because I created a homogeneous surface, with very few differences, or at least are smilares, or small details. But in the other seasons I can not do that. Doing so would be very monotonous visually. Although I have improved the fall season, because repetition is noticed more than the other two seasons (spring and summer). Later I will show it.

 

The solution you ask, would be make some textures with less detail so that it does not look much repetition. :(

[Stonehouse]

Ok thanks T.Jacob I understand and not to worry. Your work is a huge improvement regardless.

 

Cheers,
