Help with trees

[Pobs]

Hi Centurio,

first off I would copy back the vegetation.db that I sent you over since that should work with the other files in the zips. If you are getting a ctd when you try to view the trees then you probably have a tree model missing somewhere... see if the problem is common to all tree types ie can you view palm trees for instance?...

another way to overcome a missing model is to copy the folders in the zip into a copy of your original folders so that you are in effect only adding the new trees to the existing ones rather than replacing the old ones and possibly missing a model that is still being called up.. if that fails you are into the rather time consuming job of looking in the decr_vegetation. txt file and checking the models called up are actually in the models_vegetation folder ... but that shouldn't be necessary really since the files are working for at least two of us without a problem...

it is always possible you have a corrupted file in the zips though... if all else fails I can send them again and you can re-install them to see if that helps...


cheers,

thanks for the insight pobs,
I did what you suggested and so far no impassible fat or super tall trees in germany!

also, I did this mid-campaign and so far nothing serious as far as random battle CTD's go.

Glad its worked for you PF ...

Sorry for the delay. I can view the settlement when I use all the files and folders you sent me. However, there is no change at all. Not the slightest.

Hi CN,

so with the files I sent you installed you still see the oversized megatrees ??... that is very strange since the calls are now being made to the new models and they dont include the big old tree models, so I can't quite see how they are still appearing in your game, unless the 'view' settlement uses a different set up to the battlefields. Have you tried fighting a battle yet ??... perhaps they are changed in the battlefields but not in the 'view settlement' view, I dont use that so I am not sure... check it 'in-game' and let me know if it works in a battle setting will you ?...


cheers,

Is there a way to reduce the amount of trees on the battlefield?

[Pobs]

Hi Rage,

yes look at that link I gave in my first post on this thread, apart from resizing the trees you can also change the 'forest templates' that are used to lay out the trees on the maps...


cheers,

fenix3279 said look in RTW/EB/Data/descr_vegetation and follow the directions there to lower the number of trees

Pobs linked a guide here https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=60901 that can help you change the density in that file,

my pet-peeve was the strange trees and with Pobs advice I got normal looking tree trunks! Hope this helps!

Edit: hehe, Pobs beat me to the post!
