FO Stratmap Textures Addon

**Caligula Caesar** · October 01, 2011, 06:00 AM

Some of you may know that myself and Antonov made a new set of strat map textures to decorate the campaign for Fortuna Orbis. I proposed we used them for VII, but no agreement could be reached, so I'll post them now as a submod. Here are some screenshots:

Old:

New:

To install, do the following:

1. Extract the files
2. Paste them over the folder "RTRVII". Overwrite any files that already exist.
3. Rename map.rwm (found in RTRVII/data/world/maps/base, and sometimes also in maps/campaign/barbarian_invasion) to map_old.rwm
4. Run up your game

It appears to be save-game compatible (I tried it out), but in case any unforeseen issues arise, I put in the old files. To restore it to the old campaign textures, delete descr_aerial_map_ground_types in RTRVII/data, map_climates in RTRVII/data/world/maps/base and map.rwm in the same place. Then remove the "_old" tag from the other files of the same name (ignore the files with any other ending - they are antiquated and should have been removed a while back).

Enjoy

Is there a way to get this working with RSII battlemap enviroments?

Because at least for me that one changes also the stratmap textures, and somehow I don't get the FO textures to show up when having installed RSII textures first...

There shouldn't be any issues afaik, so I suggest you try again. Did you paste the files over or in RTRVII (they are meant to be pasted over)?

Yes, sticked to the instructions and I also tried it more than once. Really don't know...

I'm downloading the RSII textures mod to see what exactly is changed in it.

Thank you, downloading right now. +Rep

these textures are great

@Dewitt8: Sorry I didn't get back to this. It really should be compatible with the RSII textures. If you are still getting problems, can you send me the descr_aerial_map_ground_types file you are using?

It is amazing!

**Caligula Caesar** · November 26, 2011, 07:09 AM

This is fully compatible with the Patch, as none of the relevant files were changed

hey guys, I really like these textures. It gives RTRVII an awesome facelift. I liked it so much I used them for EB, too. You should convert them and release them in their sub mod forum, also. If you don't have the time, I could do it. I already have the files, I guess I would just need your permission.

Thanks.
