Improved coastlines and/or map textures [NOW WITH SCREENSHOTS]

[SeekerAfterTruth]

I have both SS6.2 RR/RC and SS6.3 installed on my computer and while playing a little of 6.3 (i prefer RR/RC) i discovered just how much better the map looks. It has the improved coastlines which are great!!! and for those people who think that 6.2's map looks dull the textures in 6.3 are a bit greener and therefore less dull.

So i shamelessly took the files from 6.3 and added them to 6.2

Here is the version with coastlines and textures. (copy/extract the files into ur SS6.2 folder and overwrite, remembering to delete the 'map.rwm')

I also have a version without the textures (for those who dont like a bit of green or think it unrealistic, u still have to delete 'map.rwm') and they are attached at the end of the post.

I hope u all enjoy

SCREENSHOTS

NOTE: these sreenshots are with the changed textures, without the changed textures the colours of land in the changed will be the same as original original new

[napoleonic]

pics please?

[k/t]

Yes, pictures illustrating the differences would be great.

[SeekerAfterTruth]

I have added screenshots to the first post

[k/t]

It's greener, no? I can't see a difference in texture.

I can tell the coastline is not made up from straight lines anymore, so that's an improvement.

It is only a little bit changed, if u compare the two pics of the baltic in the bottom left corner if u go a bit inland it is slightly lusher looking. If u need a better representation than that i can upload a picture of France which is more obvious.

how do we get that type of water in stainless steel- when i tried using the sea mod from the released mods section it didnt work

[k/t]

Isn't that the original water? I should have tried the new one, but bane said he didn't like it so I followed PB's instructions for getting rid of it. I'll give the next campaign a try with it.

Delete data\terrain\aerial_map\sea and then remove the "bak" from data\terrain\aerial_map\sea_bak.

Sorry... what? If I did, then I'm retracting that statement.

[SeekerAfterTruth]

I have no idea about the water, that is just how mine was and i havent installed anything to change it

[FaantBoy501]

The coastlines look great when I start an early campaign, but when I start a late campaign the coastlines look just the same as the normal Stainless. Any idea how to change this?

[gracul]

Someone actually appreciates 3weeks of my work spent on this

[k/t]

Yeah, you did. You said something about the pastel colour.

Mwahaha! You can't retract anything! The internet never forgets!

[bɑne]

Alright, call me... smitty.

The pastel effect of the new STRATWATER is really dulling on the campaign map. Is there a simple way to revert to the old, more vibrant waters PB?

I've no idea what that even is.

[smitty]

Hey now I'm proud of defying the new water, and I'm retracting nothing, even if bane and I are the same person!

As for this current submod, I've been wanting more vibrant greens on the map for a while, looking forward to downloading this.

Ok, bane must have used his powers to change everything around. This is a conspiracy! I've been set-up! He has two accounts!

I know in 6.3 Ireland was split in only 2 so another region could be added to Novgorod. Does this map file change that or just the underlying ground?

More. I often post with a new one so that I can then answer with my main. Never wondered why the same questions are getting reposted in the main forum?

Only textures from what I can see. You could use JSGME (Generic Mod Enabler) to try it out.

[k/t]

I'll just back-up the save files and try out the map.

Very nice job. Is combatible with 6.3 or only with RR/RC last edition? I have them both.

Sorry, I don't quite understand your question.
