Winter strat map?

[Moonflower]

Does BC use a "arctic.tga" or something similar that is the winter version of the normal campaign map? I've been trying to add snow to the Levant (as is true of the area) but cannot seem to locate the necessary tga. I've already changed the area within the map_climates.tga to reflect something similar to the Amol-Sari-Gorgan area which undergoes a similar weather effect thus gets snow (can't think of the technical terms but its due to the area being arid/temperate on the coast yet bordered by mountains--all the moisture rolling in from the sea is spent on the terrain before the mountains and none hardly ever gets across the mountains because the moisture evaporates rapidly from the heated terrain.)

So it begs the question... is BC fully unpacked? I'm hoping to release my own little submod with all the various changes i've made and this would help me realize that goal

EDIT: ah yes I believe this is the term I was looking for: the rain shadow effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_shadow

BC doesn't have its own terrain textures yet. Also, I don't think arctic texture is a good solution. You could rather work on heights. However, the Lebanon Mountains, as I believe you are referring to them, are already high mountains, and they have snowy peaks...

Ah okay. Then I am lost as to how to make the levant area appear snowy during winter... since BC doesnt use its own textures then i would assume the small edits i made to the map_climates.tga (literally copying the color used on the amol sari gorgan regions (orange) and pasting over it the blue/purple area of the levant) would show up. deleted map.rwm so the map would regenerate... and the changes cannot be seen even by checking with toggle_terrain climate. looks like the original

i followed the mapping tutorials and someone is helping me there but so far no results. fingers crossed

I think you have to work on ground types to see any changes.

hmmmm. okay, thanks wudang
