Tired of unusable mountain battle maps?

[Lusted]

Before:


After:


Basically using a Hex editor to modify descr_geography_new.db(doesn't cause a crash, it's the .txt version of the file that does) and Muizers excellent tutorial on battlemap modification for RTW as a guide, I've been able to reduce the general hilliness of maps. This makes mountain maps less insane, and also reduces the amount of hills on maps which should be flatter. Simply put the file in the .zip attatched to this post into your Stainless Steel data folder and load up a battlemap to see the difference.

Walk me through the installation again, lol. I can not find this file in my data folder to replace?

Thanks Lusted this makes fighting as Ireland much easier when getting a foothold in Wales:

[Lusted]

It won't be in your data folder to replace, as I do not know of any other mod that modifies this file, so just place it in your Stainless Steel data folder.

Tremendous! Thanks, Lusted.

Always felt that the extreme topography on some maps detracted from the immersion

Lusted, I thought the 1.5 patch fixes the geography_db timestamp crash?

Dunno, plus it's the .db file that affects the game not the .txt as far as I know.

Meh, I'm a bit bored and just messing around with things.

Do I love Lusted? Yes...yes I do.


I've always hated those ridiculously hilly desert maps (it's the desert, why are there cliffs everywhere?!)

[gracul]

AND I THOUGHT THE KING IS DEAD!!!

Will you allow me to pack it up with a general pack of fixes for SS6.0?
