IMPORTANT! I've not yet figured out how to get created pieces into the game. I discuss this a little more at the bottom of the post. This guide will show how to actually generate the pieces, but not how to get them into the game. What are Terrain Pieces? Terrain Pieces are purely aesthetic...

The only way I've discovered to view these(I only have access to free image editors) is to download the DirectX SDK and install the utilities that includes. The DirectX Texture Tool can open the A16B16G16R16 and convert to something like DXT5 that other editors can open. NOTE: The only dds...

If a rename worked, I'm guessing your issue is in the entries in terraindef.csv.

Also, if anyone has the Terrain Editor figured out, I'd love a basic tutorial, I can't seem to be able to do anything with it...

All of the terrain in the game uses heightmaps to determine appearance. It uses that grayscale image to create the actual 3d heights displayed on the terrain in the game. This is fairly simple to play with on the basic grassland and plain types, add a big dark circle to the heightmap and you'll...

Have you tried using Deliverators dds file, but with an identical name to the one you are using(euro_grassland_red_d.dds)? If the only difference is the content of the dds file, then the issue must lie in that file. It looks like you are using Paint.net to edit it?

Can you post the terraindef.csv too?

Have you tried using the csv file and dds from Deliverator's example in your mod? I started with that, and then ended up discovering that ModBuddy was setting those resources to import=0 in the modinfo file. If you look in his modinfo, it isn't set at all. In mine, I had to change the Import...

Trying to figure out if there is a way to have a promotion give free promotions to eligible units. The few times this is done in-game currently(such as for embark) all have their own column specifically for it and appears to be all handled behind-the-scenes. With buildings you can easily grant...

Got BTS off of Steam a couple days ago. Using it in Vista, and the normal game works fine. However, when I go to load one of the scenarios and the game exits to reload with the mod files, Windows pops up a "Program not responding" box and sits for a little while before telling me I need to close...

I have the exact same problem, I've noticed it happens a lot when the game is loading the diplomacy screen, but it'll do it at other times as well, usually just restarts the computer.

Is anyone else having issues where the diplomacy screen crashes the game or computer(it usually just restarts the computer)? I'll hear the music for the particular country play, it will act like its loading for a little while, and then it will just restart my computer. Anyone else? Any ideas?
