DESERT 4 Mountain Regions+ Addon by Centurion and Piecemeal

 

Requires Piecemeals Desert 4 Terrain available here:

http://combatace.com/files/file/14551-desert-terrain-v4/

 

 

DESCRIPTION

This addon is for Piecemeals excellent Desert Terrain V.4 and adds more diversity to the mountain regions by adding several new tileset types. In addition to this, Piecemeal has modified all the city regions to be more diverse and less "square" and also changed movement routes and such. Overall, this makes the region more interesting to fly over.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This patch updates the airfield names from the generic D1, D2 and so on to be specific place names. This will break you campaign files!!! Changing them to fix it is a simple matter of find-and-replace-all in notepad, however. Saved files will not work any more.

 

KNOWN ISSUES

Two airfields in the mountain regions have flattening issues that I have not been able to correct, if anyone could help us fix that would be great. AI Planes are bit bouncy there but the airbases are fully usable, it is mostly a visual issue.

 

CREDITS:

Piecemeal for the excellent V.4 terrain and the city tiling work + data tweaks.

TK for SF2 and the whole Dhimar/Paran scenario.

Stary and JSF Aggie for the tiles used here.

Centurion for doing the cut/paste operations required to bring this together. Minor tile tweaks.

 

INSTALLATION

Unzip the whole folder into your Terrains/Desert4 folder.

Thanks Piecemeal and Centurion for making an already wondrous terrain even better!!!!

Centurion deserves the thanks more than myself. This add on was his brain-child. I just helped out.

Huh, that is strange indeed and I had the same problem before!

Try it in a different mod folder install, I think there could be some type of ground object that inerferes with it. I actually had a similar problem myself, fixed by testing a different mod folder.

Thanks i try to find out what is causing this  , from 15 attempts to use the terrain only 3 are successful

[+Piecemeal 450]

It's definitely a ground object issue; more than likely a third party mod or mods. I had this issue myself and eventually had to end up renaming my "groundobjects" folder, allowing the game to create a new folder, then adding the items from the old folder over to the new folder one at a time. A big time pain in the arse, I know (not to mention time consuming), but it's the only way of weeding out the offending object/ objects.

I'm getting some real bad shimmering on building roofs in the distance.  Is this a known issue or something unique to me?

 

NM.  Found my answer here:  http://combatace.com/topic/72088-sf2-tod-buildings-shimmering-bug/?do=findComment&comment=568292
