Correct me if I'm wrong, but that should only work offline.

You can't go changing the map objects and expect different folks with different sets to both be able to shoot up the same strat... It's a conflict. I think it'd mess you up in online play somehow.

No, only changing textures, I've been playing in ma with these textures for last few days.

Oh, I see! I thought it was changing the strat to look like the screenshot you showed. Now that I look at it closer I can see it's tank town, not a strat! :aok

Reminds me a tad of Scenario Aircraft Converter (did I get that wrong?) that you could use with Air Warrior.

Great job! :aok

BUT, I cant stop thinkin that people start making their own textures... for example terrain without trees etc.. you could spot nme GVs easy and drop bombs to them. ..

I think we do need development in graphics section but game environment should be the same for everyone in MA.

Hmm, well you can't change trees on other maps than your own, which is a good thing if you ask me.
I just think that current terrain textures we have are just ugly and plain.
I liked the ones we had before.


Oh and, these textures work only with 1024 texture pack

I think it looks ok, pretty good croduh, I am interested in HTC's stance on it though, to see if they are going to allow players to go in and edit/manipulate/change the games original cache files of textures/tiles.....

hope  for the good of the community and HTC there is a way it can be allowed so it benefits both the community & HTC.

Good Luck on your efforts, maybe a suggestion to think about is to ask them 1st if  they would mind before you attempted or at least posted publically.......

I really like the clouds, nice work

Looks very nice.

How can we get it to work in 512?

I can't run HiRes online.

Well, i did post in my original thread they can delete the thread if i am doing anything that is not allowed, i am well aware that this is out of usual "terrain making and editing", but so far i haven't seen any reaction from HTC.
I would like to see their position on this, if they don't feel that this is ok, then ok, files will be removed.

those terrain tiles are really awesome cro, they look really realistic

is there any way to add even more? add some variation in the terrain? snowcapped mountains, sandy deserts etc would be totally awesome:aok

The visual effects and clouds most likely wouldn't be a problem.

It's when you crossed the line, changing the terrain textures on the widely used MA terrains that is rubbing some people the wrong way. It opens a can of worms that is probably going to be very hard to close now.

i don't see why. he just modified the terrain textures. i don't see anyone rubbed up the wrong way, we all think they're great. they don't effect the game, and there are loads of maps out there with custom tiles. i highly doubt that HTC will look down on this, infact i reckon if cro keeps going like this they'll hire him :lol

I've already PM'd Croduh the reason this is not a good idea. To do so in public would just complicate the matter.

Changing the game for the better has to be looked upon in a positive light.

Sorry guys, i just think Nhawk and a couple of more have good point there.
I have deleted files from webspace, and will ask Skuzzy to delete threads that have to do anything with this.


This is not the way we should get new textures.

this way is better than getting no textures, and the same boring maps...

If you knew the ramifications of this you would take an entirely different view.

Croduh made the right decision for the integrity, playability and fairness of the game.

I agree NHawk, and also think HTC or the Terrain team should look at croduh's

abilitys  and consider him
