Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
That.
Is it possible? if so, anyone would know how?
My objective is simple to enhance my own experience with EB, i dont indend to make a mini mod or so, i'm just asking if its possible and how it would be done if so. I'll also ask them this same question to avoid possible issues that some can raise in this.
Re: Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
Importing terrain from other mods has been done before (from Res Gestae amongst others), but I don't know which files are required. Try searching the R:TW modding forums.
Since this question involves modding EB I am moving it to the submod forum. If you prefer R:TW modding questions, just send me a note.
Re: Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
I can just say on ground types on other textures I have no experience.
For ground types namely strategy map textures,
open descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt on RS2
you will see these lines:
add each tga file "../../../../eb/data/terrain/aerial_map/ground_types/"
and of course backup old file because I have not tried to add RS2 textures I am happy with old RS textures...
and do not publish it if it works spare it for yourself.

Best to wait since DvK said that hes going to make it simpler the next patch. I tried and failed miserably.

OK this is what I have done one by one,
1-You need to RS2 and EB
2-Open descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt in Rome total war/data folder as RS overwrites RTW data as it is not modfoldered.
3-copy it to C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\Data folder say yes to overwrite.
4- open the descr_aerial_map_ground_types.txt file with any reliable tex editor I use Nodepad++
5- ctrl+a then delete
6- open the spoiler below then ctrl+a then copy and paste into file
7- then open C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\Data\TERRAIN\AERIAL_MAP\GROUND_TYPES folder
8- ctrl+a copy
9- paste it to C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\Data\TERRAIN\AERIAL_MAP\GROUND_TYPES and click yes to overwirte
OK up to here you can have RS2 Strategical map textures but I had some CTDs so to solve it
1- delete map.rwm files one in C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\sp game edu backup folder
the other one is on C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\Data\world\maps\base folder
2- open EB via trivial script it will say that it could not find the map.rwm file as error but EB campaign will be opened.
3- start a new campaign exit
4- copy the new map.rwm file on C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\Data\world\maps\base folder into C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\EB\sp game edu backup folder
5- have fun :laugh4: and write AARs :book:
P.S. use it with the mod https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...moval-Mini-Mod
feel the difference.
Regards
Atra

Those are the old RS1.6 textures. Hannibal Smith's link points to the new RS2 work.

@Africanus; Save game compatible this is
Re: Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
You say you need both EB and RS II. But RS II changes the RTW folder. How can you have both installed at the same time?
Re: Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
By saving the main RTW folder (with each mod inside ) outside of the program files, i´d say.

AFAIK RS and EB work together as EB modfoldered.
Re: Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB
RS and RSII are not modfoldered however, and will prevent you from using other mods unless you back up your game files.
