How do I install in a non steam game version?

JSGME  install:  Folder structure,  Mods/Flowers/data/graphics/Grass/Textures/Summer grass texture.dds

 

1:  Flowers is the name I chose to call the mod, call it what ever you want.

 

2:  Full Summer grass texture.dds was renamed to Summer grass texture.dds and placed in the Texture folder. (Use only one dds file of your choice within your Texture folder after renaming.)

 

3:  Activate with JSGME and enjoy.

 

 

Thanks for the Mod. Works well on May-Bugs "Green Moscow Map".

I'm sure it's me but I don't get the install. The flowers download consisted of 11 files all unnamed and without indication of what

types of files they are. I use jsgme to load mods but don't understand the direction to build a jsgme ready mod file. Any additional help is appreciated.

@NETSCAPE ; @PA_Spartan-:

 

 

 

 

Sunflowers WIP texture.

In my opinion useful only to make some screenshots. Unless it is possible to apply it only in selected areas of the map, to simulate fields cultivated with sunflowers, I believe that covering the whole Soviet union of sunflowers would be historically and agriculturally waaay "overmodelled".

 Hi TheSNAFU

FIRST you  MUST download and install the original grass texture mod from FF*VaSoK*22 and only after  pick one of my textures , renaming it "summer grass texture" and copy over the folder of the original mod allowing overwriting!  Hope you understand my very bad english...obviously not my native Language

 

Cheers...and flowers!

Yes, of course. Only some areas would be great. But obviously ... I am illiterate in the technical part of that undertaking. Happy enough with the try.

The mod will work without FF*VaSoK*22 mod, as my install on May_Bugs "Green moscow Map" does not have the "VaSok Summer grass texture .dds".

 

You will have to re name the dds texture file you select to "Summer grass texture.dds" and place in (JSGME)  Mods/Folder named by yourself/data/graphics/Grass/Textures/Summer grass texture.dds folder structure.

Only use one "Summer grass texture.dds" texture file at one time , do not load all the dds texture files at the same time.

Was certainly possible in ROF:  -  although I never refined it enough to be worth making a download available for others, I'd been tinkering with my original flower mod and got it to the stage I could have ferns and bluebells under the trees and in the woodlands,  poppies in the cornfields and scrubby weeds on "brownfield" sites. I don't know how easy it is to get at the raw code for this updated game engine but in ROF the game read the colour of the underlying ground texture to decide which sort of "grass" texture to apply. So by tweaking the sensitivity with which the code differentiated different  hues on the ground and by repainting the ground textures where needed to emphasise different hues I'd gone from one standard grass texture to about a half a dozen for different locations.

 

Once Flying circus is released and I can get back into the cockpit of my beloved camel I'll have  a reason to consider mods for this updated game engine so I may start tinkering with my sky/ground/environmental mods again to see what I can or can't achieve.

 

Cheers

Ok got it working. Thanks to bzc3lk and Flytitus for your help. This is a great mod, especially when combined with  FF*VaSoK*22 's 4k grass mod.  

[Cybermat47]

Gorgeous! Adds a lot to the map

 Thanx very much Indeed!!

My repaint can be used as standalone... but, imho, it works best with 4K  FF*VaSoK*22  grass textures and May-BUG gorgeous Green Moscow Map as suggested by bzc3lk.

Thank you for your dedication ! I really hope for some revisited and refined paintwork from a more experienced painter . Anytime i see some skinning an painting skill from you MODDERS out there i feel so noob!!!!?

[SARFlytitus]

@NETSCAPE , @PA_Spartan- ,and anyone interested:

 

Sunflowers  (for screenshots purpose)

As usual Download link in first post.

 

 

 

Cheers ?

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

Wow! The pictures look great. I have more in the spoiler. 

 

You are absolutely right. If we could combine the flowers and sunflowers in different fields ..... it would be just perfect!

Wow that is amazing. I don't recall such an effective landscape mod as this. If different flowers in different places can be achieved that could add even more to the overall look and feel. The mod as it is makes such a subtle but big difference. Sometimes it's the little things. 

[Dakpilot]

Can't believe it was 2014 when I posted that ?

 

LOL

 

Took a while, but good things come etc...

Really nice mod and easy to use.  Thanks to all for sharing!

[Avyx]

I downloaded both, but don't know how to install them

Could anyone help me, please ?

[SARFlytitus]

Edited first post with new download link JSGME compatible !

[Marvel]

Hi, congrats for this amazing mod!! Is possible to install it with OvGME?

 

Thx!

@Marvel Ciao Marco, non conosco OvGME ma se usa la stessa struttura dei file penso non ci siano problemi.

Mi riservo di dargli un'occhiata e ti do conferma ASAP !

While in BoX VR we shutdown the grass to zero in the start.cfg file to keep the FPS high and straight.  ?

But I do like the flowers aspect, I only think because the 2D modeling, it was maybe better to keep the grass length low, so you do no notice that weird looking 2D effect.
