The feature thread gave me the idea to ask this. I am trying to add a new terrain to the map. I think I figured out how to get python to do what I need but I haven't been able to get the graphics down.

This is for the events mod I am building. I want to add a volcano terrain. (Seems kind of lame to have a volcano event without a volcano!) This is especially difficult (or maybe it will be easier) because of the fact that it basically is a peak with a "crater" at the top. I could modify the peak graphic but event that is challenging because I haven't yet figured out how the peak graphic system works and I don't want ALL peaks looking like volcanoes. Only a few. For all I can tell it is hard coded.

Ideas anyone?

on event you just change the terrain at a specific plot, like global warming does.
adding a new terrain seems to be easy, since I've added several new flat terrain types ( like grassland, plains.. ), just by defining them in the corresponding xml's.
Maybe adding a new kind of peak with a different heighmap ( having the volcano crater ) and texture might be a bit more tricky..
