Vanilla Campaign Ground Texture for RTR

[Candelarius]

I hunted around the forums for this old plug-in and couldn't find it, and, since the RTR forums are down right now, I re-uploaded the plug-in to filefront.

This plug-in simply restores the standard (vanilla Rome Total War) campaign map ground color and removes the ugly ones (IMO) introduced in RTR. I, and other Rome Total Realism fans prefer the pre-RTR6.3 map colors to the ones created by BDH for RTR6.0 Gold and Platinum.

To install, simply unzip the .rar file, which will create a folder called ground_types. Place the ground_types folder in your /Data/Terrain/Aerial_map folder.

Note: This is save game compatible.

Yours Truly,
Candelarius

Cheers,

It took me ages trying to find this the other week. I cant understand why this isn't in RTRPE by default. The other ground texture is just horrible. What were they thinking?

I really, really, really don't know! I hated it the first time I saw it and protested it's inclusion in RTR Gold, but, alas, it was added anyway.

The first time I saw it I reported it as a bug.

Well RTRPE is the conversion of RTR 6 Gold.. Not RTR 6.3 etc....

p/s: I found my old back up with RTR 5.41 and Bouis Roma Mod installer... Thinking of converting them to RTW 1.5 or BI 1.6 ..

Ahhh Bouis Roma mod. That was great. I can remember playing it to death while 6.0 was in development.
