Okinawa Terrain Set Download

[Paul59]

This is the sixth of my alternative terrain styles for Sengoku Jidai.

This is the Okinawa Terrain set that you will need for my Attack on Shuri Castle 1609 scenario, which will be available soon. It is basically the Japanese Green terrain set, with some changes to allow the distinctive red and white striped Shuri Castle courtyard be depicted.

This will only work if you have updated your version of Sengoku Jidai to at least the 1.2.8 patch, that added the capability to have extra terrain styles.




How to Install:

1) Download the file:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/n8vli4xws ... a.rar/file


2) Extract the file:

3) Within the file you have extracted you will find two sub folders;

Data; Copy and paste the Data file into your ProgramFiles (x86)/Slitherine/Sengoku Jidai (Steam version: /ProgramFiles (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/Common/Sengoku Jidai). Click OK to overwrite any existing files.

ORIGINAL OBJECTS; This contains the Original Sengoku Jidai Object Texture files. As the Data file overwrites the original Object Texture files, I have included them here just in case you want to revert back to them.

4) Unlike the standard terrain options (Ukiyo-e and Green) this additional terrain set cannot be selected from the in-game Options screen. So find your Sengoku Jidai OPTIONS.TXT file. Mine is located in My Documents/My Games/SJIDAI, but yours may be different depending upon what version of Windows you have. Open the OPTIONS.TXT and change the AltTiles line to read AltTiles 20.

Cheers

Looks beautiful! Very interesting castle design. Looking forward to the scenario. Thanks, Paul!

PS: I see that you've somehow managed to implement those straw huts which are normally not used in the game. Interesting. Clould you please share how you have managed that?

Thanks Adebar,

Actually those straw huts aren't the huts in the vanilla TEXTURE@.DDS file. Another modder, urkki63, made me a new hut texture to replace the vanilla low house texture. I then created a new folder for Okinawa buildings, and blocked out the taller houses using the alpha texture. So the new Okinawa house model just shows the lower huts/houses.

I think I managed to get the vanilla SJ hut textures working by using them with the Pike and Shot village model, but they did not look right for Asian buildings, too tall if I remember correctly.

The new Okinawa objects folder will be in the scenario, so you can just reuse it for your own scenarios if you wish.

I actually finished work on this scenario three years ago! So I have had to examine the files to jog my memory on how we actually did all this!

cheers

Thanks for the info, Paul.

Will check those objects files that come with your scenario so that I can experiment a bit with them.

You know, sometimes modding a game can be more sexy than actually playing it.

That looks beautiful.
Thank you for your graphics mods.
I still have your orange version installed now. I was thinking of trying the green one. I guess this graphics should only be used for Shuri and Okinawa battles but I like the red and white stripes on the castle grounds. I wonder if they used this style on Kyushu cause I might do an AAR of the Mongol invasion of Kyushu.

The Okinawa set will only work correctly for the Shuri battle. I think I used one of the normal field tiles for the red and white courtyard, so if you use the Okinawa terrain with other battles you will probably get the courtyard popping up amongst the fields!

Okay thanks for advice. I think I will use orange to finish my campaign now and then try the green mod.

I have a simple question in reference to the mod. You give direction on how to install it in I guess a steam version of the game. How can I install this mod for the game that I purchased from GOG? any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply, I have only just noticed your post.

The download instructions I have given are for Steam and Slitherine purchased games. I am afraid I have no knowledge of how GOG works at all, so can't give any instructions for it. Presumably the game is installed into a folder called Sengoku Jidai somewhere on your PC, does GOG have a seperate location for it's games on a PC?

After you have found the Sengoku Jidai folder and installed the mod, I assume that Step 4) would be the same for GOG.
