I just tried to put this in vanilla and apart from some odd coloured strat map sea around the uk, it looks pretty good- i might even be tempted to play vanilla again

No it just means no one's tried it yet

im looking forward for someone to properly put this in the vanilla RTW, the multiplayer would look cooler. And as for those that still play the vannila campaign

**DarthLazy** · January 03, 2011, 11:24 AM

If the skins and models can be ported to vanilla, then why not the Lighting and Vegetation ?

They released the environments the Team used in RSII to other people, so now they can, giving credits to the right people, use these environments in other mods like, say, EB

Great news for the Community!
I have been already working to adapt these enviroments to our mod, and I must say it looks like a new tw engine. I'm glad every mod can now take advantage of the impresive job made by RS2 team.

I hadn't really thought about it before but this shows quite how much work goes into roma surrectum, top work guys.

Would like to see this compared to RTW vanilla map just out of intrest.

**tone** · January 04, 2011, 06:21 PM

Here are the vanilla maps compared with RS2:

Map heights
Vanilla

RS2

Map climates
Vanilla

RS2

Map ground types
Vanilla

RS2

Quite a lot of work went into this map to try and get things accurate...eg. a distribution map of ancient beech forests (corresponds to the dark orange climate colour):

and some pics here of modern forest distribution:

Broadleaved:

Coniferous:

Good to see HSmith back on his feet!!!!

I do not know if anyone has considered modifying the MMvs3 maps???

**Anixx** · January 05, 2011, 04:07 AM

I was waiting for such a release for years.I love rs2 climate map .Its awsome

**Lord Minotaur** · January 05, 2011, 06:09 AM

wait wait... can i use this with vannila?

**tone** · January 05, 2011, 06:55 AM

Not at present until someone does a suitable climate map for it

**tone** · January 05, 2011, 08:36 AM

OK here's a hybrid of RS2 and vanilla climate maps.....this should work for vanilla - unzip to data/world/maps/base and also delete map.rwm....make sure you make a back up first.

Really you'd also need to add the RS2 strat map textures (not sure whether these were in the download).

Could someone with some modding experience check this please?
