Can we have RSII Environment working in this ? Think it would realy benefit the mod.


Edit: Here is a link for an RS2 environments pack for PI.

The respected ToonTotalWar Has made it for many updatings, it is necessary to ask to make it about it, for Peninsuly.

If someone knows how to do it, he is welcome!

RS2 environments is not difficult for any MODS, if you use the main data of RTW how base... only care descr_climates, and some .db...

Did you get it working? Looks like you did. If not I can do it.

[Sertorio]

Yes i did thanks

Sertorio, could you give me some guide how you implemented the enviroments? Thanks in advance.

[Sertorio]

I have no guide but at Resef advice i am now well succeed in implementing RS2 environments.
Simplest way is having a enviro pack, say for example for Hegemonia. Then with notepad++ i check each text file from the pack looking for the "BI/HCS" entries and replacing them for "PI".
for the folders i move them to PI, with one exception.

The exceptions are:

I don't move the world folder so i don't screw up the climates map and heights map of PI.
I may not move the descr_aerial_map_ground_types if i want to keep the same campaign map. I believe that if i change that file, it will change to RS2 textures also.

This is how i do RS2 Packs for any mod. If i want to do it from scratch with the multi-mod environment that the RS2 team gifted, it probably needs more editing.

Back up the Data the first time you going to try this.

Here, i made a pack for PI. Do you mind testing it ? If all is ok i'll link it on the first post.

Thanks for your advice Sertorio I am going to give it a try soon. It is good to know which files I should avoid to change becauce I do not want to change the strat map textures to RSII ones.

[Sertorio]

Edited my last with a pack. Check it out.

Ok, going to give it some play testing. Btw. I have noticed on your screens that you are playing with the normal unit size. Is it a recomended unit size for PI mod?

[Sertorio]

No, those Pics were taken on a hold PC, so i had to play normal size units.
