Importing the terrain and the vegetation of Roma Surrectum 2 into EB

[Havok.]

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.

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.

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:

climate default
{
cultivated_low RSdefault_grass.tga RSdefault_winter_grass.tga
cultivated_medium RSdefault_farm1.tga RSdefault_winter_farm1.tga

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and do not publish it if it works spare it for yourself.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.

Great stuff, thanks to all for their efforts. I'll have to give this a shot next campaign.

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

@Africanus; Save game compatible this is

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?

[vollorix]

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.
