i've been trying to do some modding to the troy total war ground_types file but i can't because whenever i open it, it's just blank. Why is that?
Also the campaign still works fine even with this blank ground_types.

This probably isn't the place to aks this.
You might want to contact one of the develepers.
i tried but the modder who made the map hasnt been active in 2 years
There should be no file ground_types, the file you're looking for is map_ground_types.tga.

A map will load without a map_ground_types, but the ground type will all be the same, medium fertile I think.
So, I don't know how done Troy: Total War is, but it sounds (reads?) like they hadn't gotten to map_ground_types yet.
troy total war is done completely. thats why im so confused. when i tried editing
the map there wasnt anything there. and it wasnt a color it was just all alpha.
symantics!
i meant map_ground_types.tga but thats a mouthful and i just prefer to shorten it to ground_types.

Can I ask are you using GIMP. I ask because I had a similar problem with the maps on a sicily add on campaign

The map would load and the game was fine, but all that showed up in gimp was an alpha layer. Anyway I opened the file up in another program "Ulead photo express" not an application I normally use and the image was there. I can only assume the file was saved in a format that GIMP can not read properly.
I dont have TROY-TW but maybe the same thing has happened here. Try opening the image using a different package.
