How do I reskin terrain?

[Garett20]

I think the title says it all. I saw Deliverator do it but can't figure out how to do it myself.

 

[Garett20]

Can anybody help me?

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 property of the resources(csv and dds) in ModBuddy for each one from 'false' to 'true'.

What? Here's my mod info

And here is how it looks in game:

but when I use my own reskin it just makes Grassland Black.

Can you post the terraindef.csv too?

 

[Garett20]

Oh, I'm just using deliverator's. Does it make a difference? I'm a bit of a graphics newb.

 

[nodrownboy]

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?

 

[Garett20]

Yeah, I use paint. NET

 

[Garett20]

I tried naming my file after deliverator's file and that worked. I can't seem to be able to reskin the plains.

 

[nodrownboy]

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