    Default problem with ground_types

    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.

    There should be no file ground_types, the file you're looking for is map_ground_types.tga.

    I'm pretty sure that's what he meant.
    Although there might be something called that and that's why it's blank.

    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.

    Expand your borders, a mod based on XGM 5.

    i meant map_ground_types.tga but thats a mouthful and i just prefer to shorten it to ground_types.

    Perhaps you could upload the map in a zip file, so that we can look at it?

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

    http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downl...o=file&id=1231

    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.
