Treetops

[-Praetor-]

There is a realystic tree size mod. I`m unable to find it though.

Hope you can.

Bye.

I stay out of trees. I stage battlefield ambushes by rushing hidden troops out of trees. And I use missle troops that can hide in long grass.

But I stay out of the trees...

the mod about realistic tree height is called relistic trees, and can be found in RTR forums, as well as some mods around here...like spqr...there is a second mod that includes the realistic trees, and adds to the experience by modding vegetation such as stones and bushes...it's called realistic landscapes..and is available at TWC...there is also the trees from Blue Lotus and NTW2, that make it possible to have a nice battle inside forests...see my screens at the EB screenshot thread(They start at page6) to see some of this trees in action with EB...i don't run away from fights in forests...i love them...your field of view is limited by the forest ceiling, and the tree trunks are nice and realistic obstacles to your FOV..., the trees, in Blue Lotus have a reasonable diameter, so no more units getting stuck between trees...search the EB Screens to see what i mean...

any chance of that mod working its way into .8?

If someone wanted to work with us to make more realistic trees for EB, and they had proof that they could do it, we'd be happy to. But we won't just use another mod's trees when that mod has yet to release them.

i don't know you should talk to Teleklos... Edit...looks like he beated me, and got here first...
this mods, you can implement yourself into your current EB install...it's quite easy..just follow the instructions...
for the Blue Lotus trees, and the NTW2 vegetation, knowledge on how to edit the .txt files of the game, would be needed...but it's not too dificult, and is quite possible for a noob to mod them into their EB install(there are quite a few helpful tutorials in the Scriptorium area, for this things, wich are extremely helpful to noobs at modding)...that's what i did...my start at modding,was adding this trees to my EB install...since then, i've edited, stats, regions, resources, added new units, with new entries on rebels, mercs, restricted recruitment.... skinned a bit, and today im still a noob, but a noob who knows more or less where he should go to make things his way=).... now thinking about going to learn a bit of Moddeling and maybe make some fancy tree models for EB(if they acept them in case i suceed in my learning)...RTW still has quite a few things to wich he can expand before ppl move out into MTW2...who I guess, won't be as moddable as ppl want to assume...seen already quite a few games highly moddable, highly popular, give rise to sequels, much less moddable, and therefore much too less popular...

and i have a gut feeling that all those fancy graphics will take their toll on someother highly anticipated features of the game...normally nice graphsm and good gameplay, as well as depth of gaming and moddability, don't mix very well...
