Strat Map; Sea, Terrain, Trees Textures V1

[danny X]

This mod is a further development of Charge's MapMod: Trees, Textures, Sea V1.7. There are many small subtle adjustments to the textures from Charge's original mod.
It improves the strat map sea, terrain and trees textures for M2 TW and is required to run through the Kingdoms.exe.
These textures were originally developed by Charge for M2 TW and have been updated and altered by dannyxx30 for use through the Kingdoms.exe.
There will be a V2 released in the near future that will include many more adjustments to improve the appearance of the strat map.

The following pictures use the PDeR V1.0a map developed by Socal_Infidel and Gigantus, and are in no way related to the map i am currently making! The PDeR V1.0a map has been used for my convenience to preview the SM STT Textures V1 mod.

SM STT Tex V2 will be released when i have finished the map for the mod project i am currently working on, here is a preview picture of the sea texture:

Installation Instructions

Please install to a mod that is mod-foldered, you will NOT be supported or advised if you install to the M2 TW vanilla data folder!! This is due the M2 TW vanilla.exe reading certain textures differently to the Kingdoms.exe. If you wish to use these textures with M2 TW vanilla i would recommend downloading either of the following: Retrofit by Unspoken Knight or Bare Kingdoms by Gigantus If you use either of the above methods, please read and follow their install procedures. Please note that many mods may already include Charge's MapMod: Trees, Textures, Sea V1.7, therefore you will need to remove those original files and then make a back-up of them incase you wish to re-install them. If the mod you are installing this mod to already has these files: - descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt - descr_climates.txt - terrain (folder) Please remove them to a back-up folder, create on your desktop. Then you will need to extract the data folder in the SM STT Tex V1 to your mods main directory, there should be no overwrites neccessary. The path should be similar to this: medieval ii total war/mods/mod name

This mod is developed for players and modders alike.
Permission is granted for use in your mod aslong as credit is given in your mods credits list. Therefore no mention in your mods credits of this mod and its creators will mean that you have no permission to use it, simple!

Looks pretty nice IMHO. I'm currently downloading.

And if it's not too much trouble for you, could you upload that map and the files needed for it to work? It seems really interesting to me.
(I've taken a look on the actual PDeR mod but I don't want to download all x-hundred mb of it)

Thanks mate, it looks better in game!

Im sorry mate, i cant upload the PDeR V1.0a map files, i have no permission to distribute these files im afraid! If you contact Gigantus, he might be able to help you out with that.

Thanks mate, its not a huge change from Charge's textures, but you should notice the difference and hopefully it gives a less cartoony appearence.

Thanks for releasing this, really made me want to start playing my Stainless Steel game again.

Just a question. Is it possible to add any more effects or shaders to the map, maybe something along the lines of clouds?

[danny X]

The sea texture should/could reflect clouds.

Could you be more specific?

[Dáin Ironfoot]

Similar to what we have in Napoleon. Some sort of mist which could transverse across the landscape.
