    Default BETTER GRASS 1.0

    BETTER GRASS 1.0

    Better Grass' a mod who modifies the battlemap look, with brandnew grass and flora types, makin the landscape something close to things u see in a touristic postcard! Every climate has a different flora, who will catch your eye immediately... breathtake landscapes...


    WHAT'S NEW:

    - Brandnew grass high res
    - Leontopodium Alpinum aka "Edelweiss" for alpine climate
    - Cistus Monspeliensis aka "Cliff Rose" for semi arid climate
    - Taraxacum Officinale aka "Dandelion" for coniferous forest climate
    - Leucanthemun Vulgare aka "Oxeye Daisy" for deciduous forest climate
    - Primula Scotica aka "Scottish PrimRose" for highlands climate
    - Helianthus Annuus aka "Sunflower" for tropical climate
    - Alepecurus Pratensis aka "Graminae" for steppe climate
    - Lavandula aka "Lavender" for mediterranean climate






    SCREENSHOTS (sorry for quality of pics):


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Alpine - Edelweiss
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 







    Tropical - Sunflowers (small variant)







    Steppe - Graminae







    Mediterranean - Lavandula






    Coniferous Forest - Dandelion









    Deciduous Forest - Oxeye Daisy








    Highlands - Scottish Primrose








    Semi Arid - Cliff Rose










    HINTS: IF U HAVE A PC NEWEST THAN A C64, I HINT U TO GROW UP "GRASS DISTANCE" ON MED2 PREFERENCE.CFG FILE..

    DURING THE BATTLE, DISABLE (IF U CAN) OR REDUCE USER INTERFACE THRU INGAME OPTIONS, TO HAVE A BETTER VIEW OF THE FLORA



    THE GAME MUST BE UNPACKED!!!!!




    HOW TO CREATE
    io.file_first, NECESSARY TO LAUNCH THE GAME WITH UNPACKED GAME:

    to create the .bat alternative exe of the game, io.file_first
    :

    To do this, copy your medieval2.preference.cfg file and name the copy "mymod.cfg"
    Then open "mymod.cfg" with a text editor and add the following to the top:


    [io]
    file_first = 1

    [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt
    level = * error


    This will tell the game to use the files it finds in the data directory instead of those in the packs.
    It will also enable error logging to a custom error log, which is highly
    recommended, but not strictly necessary.

    In order to be able to start your game using this config, create a new text file inside your MTW2 directory called mymod.bat
    Open it (right-click, edit) and write this into it:


    medieval2.exe @mymod.cfg
    Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat


    now open your data directory (inside your MTW2 directory) and delete or rename descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt (this is important - if you don't do it, your game won't run)




    README:



    For Vanilla Med II owners:

    Open the .rar file, copy the folder "new_vegetation" and paste it in:

    .....\Medieval II Total War\data

    a window will ask u to overwrite, say yes!

    now enter the game, via mymod.bat or whateva you use



    For people who has MedII version with mods installed:

    copy the folder new_vegetation, inside the data folder of the mod u are using, and overwrite sayin yes!


    FILE IS FINDABLE IN THE ATTACHMENTS:





    folder inside rar, goes inside new_vegetation/grass


    if u have bugs et similia, post here.. i will happy to help!



    TEAM MODDERS WHO WANTS TO USE THIS WORK FOR THEIR MODIFICATIONS, I WILL HAPPY TO GIVE U MY PERMISSION... SEND ME A PM TELLING ME THE MOD U RAPRESENTS AND I'LL GIVE U THE PERMISSION TO USE IT 200%



    Have a nice BETTER GRASS 1.0 game!

    Nice efforts but the most of the new grass textures are completely unrealistic.

    there's a folder called "Tools" inside Med2, open it and launch "unpack_all.bat"


    to create the .bat alternative exe of the game, io.file_first:

    To do this, copy your medieval2.preference.cfg file and name the copy "mymod.cfg"
    Then open "mymod.cfg" with a text editor and add the following to the top:

    [io]
    file_first = 1

    [log]
    to = logs/system.log.txt
    level = * error

    This will tell the game to use the files it finds in the data directory instead of those in the packs.
    It will also enable error logging to a custom error log, which is highly recommended, but not strictly necessary.

    In order to be able to start your game using this config, create a new text file inside your MTW2 directory called mymod.bat
    Open it (right-click, edit) and write this into it:


    medieval2.exe @mymod.cfg
    Congratulations. If everything worked, you should now be able to run the game with your unpacked files by starting mymod.bat


    now open your data directory (inside your MTW2 directory) and delete or rename descr_geography_new.db and descr_geography_new.txt (this is important - if you don't do it, your game won't run)
