Where are the textures surrounding battlefields?

[Duke John]

I know that the textures for the battlefield area and a bit around it are located in \Data\terrain\battlefield, but where are the textures that surround the central area? They aren't the same as the central textures as I made the latter entirely blue and still the surrounding textures were green.

Any ideas?

This is unknown, but from the fact of how incredibly fuzzy they are, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were adapted from the campaign map, or some such thing. I'm playing around with settlement plans a lot now, and sometimes when I mess up with those files, the surrounding textures around my tile get really really screwwed up. This indicates to me that there are no necessarily set textures for that area, and its somehow generated out of something else.

My impression is that the surrounding area does not use textures at all, but simple colours. When you have lots of small textures seen from a distance, not only might it cause lag, but you get unrealistic repeating patterns. I think that the textures simply fade into colour values...

[Duke John]

It seems like the textures are blown up so there is no real pattern to see. I think it would be not very practical to hardcode the colours as ground texture might change and then the coders need to change the code to make the seam less visible. But I'll look further.

[Myrddraal]

perhaps it uses the average colour of the texture? There is certainly no patern to the terrain in the distance...

I am expexting such a thing, so I'm making all textures blue to see wether the distant textures also become blue.
