(Rel) Smaller trees

The link between TerrainTypes.raw and in-game textures is made through Terrain.cfg, but I guess you figured that out already.

Now, open TerrainTypes.raw in photoshop and set Image->Mode->IndexedColor.
After that use the color picker to find out the color index value.
In Terrain.cfg you'll see something like

[IdxConversion]
IDX 1=2 ;Polar Deserts
IDX 2=2 ;Arctic Tundra
IDX 3=3 ;Typical Tundra
IDX 4=3 ;Southern Tundra

Where IDX 1, IDX 2 etc are color indices from TerrainTypes.raw.

Pintea, you just gave me one missing piece of the puzzle, you are my hero!

I was sure that color values in the raw map had to be in relation with indices listed in Terrain.cfg, but until today mutch as I tried and tried again I couldn't find a way to match them.

Converting the map to indexed color mode, as suggested by you, finally made the trick! Am I correct in assuming that terrain's seasons settings are taken from cfg files found in the Env folder for each zone defined ClimateZones.tga?

I have one more question, if you don't mind: is it possible to set the game to use different seaweed and submerged rocks' textures, depending on season and terrain type, as done with seabottom sand, emerged rocks, and land vegetation textures?

Glad to help !
I haven't had too much time lately to keep an eye on the forums so I may have missed some discussions, but if anyone has any modding questions you can PM me.

Yes, you are correct.
The vegetation type distribution is done through the TerrainTypes.raw/Terrain.cfg files, and the seasons for each vegetation type is defined in the Climatezones.tga/cfg files.
This is done because some vegetation types are used in multiple areas around the globe, but the seasons are not the same everywhere.

Unfortunately it's not possible, those are not linked with the climatezones/season data.

Thank you sober. Is the screenshot in post 35 with your more trees mod enabled? In this case I need to edit my first post.

Its a seperate mod . it just adds more trees , not smaller or darker . You need to use it as well as your mod Echolot .

they are textures. Overwriting them with this mod is safe
