[WIP] Ground texture mod

No boot or ban here, but then i was not expecting either of the two possible outcomes. Its just a texture reload. Individual file sizes are the same.

just ran it online in those last pictures. on my own server, actually thats the only way that mission works. but i would like some testers for the online aspect and an ATI tester of the mod too.

do you have any examples of this, i can do it but without a model of the hedge it might not work to well,, ahhaahh. unless i add this idea as a raised area to the normal maps with darkening on the diffuse. ( the effect will only be prounced from distance (+500m) and at low level light situations)..... hmmm. examples please if you got any. !

they are 12 mip map stage DDS files of DXT variations 3 and 5 for the trees. located in the parts folder and the $core folder within SFS files.

Maybe something more similar to this in colour...(although, IMHO, as photos show, the terrain in England would probably be slightly lighter in summer)

Great work, thanks.

Btw, this kind of visual options should simply be standard in any game, so that every player could play the game he likes.

A bit too dark, but I like it MUCH better. Relly looking forward to it !

Count me in Buddy, also I use photoshop a lot so if you'd like any help I can try my best to pitch in there too.

i'm guessing you will pm about testing?

ok hmmm. pondering this ...... its summery but still garish. i like it. maybe if i apply some sheen to the mip maps it might help, i dunno. HELP ! feed me with ideas please.

And why don"t you just batch process the textures?
