Sorry, ETds4, I don't understand. You mean, the trees are too small now?

Regards.

In the vicinity near buildings they look ok (maybe because city-vegetation is normaly trimmed) , but trees in the free open are growing very high.

good work, the trees near the buildings look to be the correct scale

i have not looked at the other trees but if they match the ones by the buildings then your ok

For me it looks like a great improvement. Thank you for your efforts!

Thank you Echolot for the nice work.

Although I am not very often close to the shore in the game but far away on the Atlantic, I find it great every time a modder improves a part of SH5.
That´s what makes it a fantastic game. I look forward soon to return to my harbor to see the new sized trees

best regards
Cyril

The trees are that big in order to better fill the huge visible land while not killing performance, however that may not be necessary anymore.

Someone could try ramping up the number of trees and modifying their distribution by modifying the data/terrain/TerrainObjectsDistribution.raw file. It's an 1250x1250 RAW file, can be modified with Photoshop.

Hi Pintea, thank you for your head-up.

I've opened that file and all is see is a pattern of sprayed-like white/grey spots on a black background.

Can you explain how does this file work?

That texture represents the tree distribution over an area of 5km x 5km (one pixel for each 4 meters). It is tiled everywhere, so the texture should be tileable, otherwise it will look bad.

Black = no trees
Grey to White = probability of trees, the whiter the more probable a tree will be there.
