@ Richard: Thanks! :) --- The modded FOG2M swamp vegetation also works in FOG2 (FOG2M BushesTileEdge.s4f replaces FOG2 BushesTile.s4f).

Winter Wonderland:

Recoloured trees, added new swamp texture and vegetation.

Mensch Mord, the marsh looks terrific!

Love the second pic with the water reflections, I almost hear the mosquitos buzzing.

You can't easily replace the forest 3d objects with the single leafless tree model unfortunately. The forest object contains multiple trees, there is obviously only one tree in the single leafless tree model. The 3d models are encrypted, so can't be modified even if you knew how. So you would need ...

The "shadows" are probably because the are probably from the TEX2_N and TEX2_S files are for the vanilla texture which you changed. Already done, and problem solved! :mrgreen: https://i.ibb.co/12SsXTP/Screen-00000028.jpg I should have went to sleep about three hours ago! Mord. Good night,...

Cliffs: Recoloured and contrast decreased. Some strange dark spots like shadows can be seen on the front side of the castel hill. Perhaps the result of overlapping textures or a shader problem?

All grass and crops deleted, only shrubs remain, shortened and recoloured. I'll keep the FOG2M ground and rough tiles, I think they are looking quite pretty with the FOG2 objects. Replaced trees A1, C1 and C2 with the bald tree A2. That doesn't effect the forrest and other elements though, and I don...

Thank you very much, Mord!

Will continue to work on this during the next days. Excellent idea with the bald tree, perhaps the model could be used to replace the deciduous one.

Experiments with combinating FOG2M winter tiles and recoloured FOG2 objects. Still WIP. Some some work to to with marhes and fields.

Mord, thanks for all the hard work, but I'm not that convinced. I just don't like the FOG2M fields at all, and the combination of both styles do look unnatural IMO (at least in your first pic). The original FOG2 textures combined with the TexMod result in a natural and nice looking landscape - so no...

It should be noted that the problem with the missing swamp elements does only appear with maps of the Epic Battles.

The randomly created maps (which I've tested dozens of times) seem to be completely fine.

Mord, please check TEX1.dds in the NorthernEurope_Overlay folder. The Medieval version looks very different compared to the Ancient version and features a number of additional swamp elements.

Great initiative, Mord! And thanks for the help, Paul. Replaced the object.txt file as Paul proposed. That works fine except that there seems to be one (?) missing tile overlay for swamps etc. (wich is shown as a snow tile in the screens). https://s12.directupload.net/images/210206/8qletyl4.jpg http...

On second sight: It doesn't look blurry at all ... Should have put on my glasses before posting stuff here early in the morning ...

Lord, I'm getting older.

What screen resolution do you use, Melm?

I agree with Melm. The new desktop icon looks blurred, especially when compared to the FOG2A icon.

For today is the day! Rejoice!

Interesting idea! Thanks for the inspiration!

Great news!

I was only referring to the replacement of textures and vegetal models from FOGII anciets to Medieval. Yes, perhaps this might work. Creating a new winter tile set based on the Ancient tiles and textures would be inevitable though. I'll check as soon as I have the game (apart from all my whining :w...

Ah, now I see myself working with the FOG2 Ancient tiles and texture files for days and weeks, making a Winter or even a 4 Seasons mod - again. Believe me, Toska, it's not that easy at all. I'd rather skip that.
