Rhye's Terrain Graphics Modpack

[msz4]

screen is beautiful you should sell this mod instead of giving it for free I downloaded already

Thank you Rhye. This compilation is really impressive.

 

[Rhye]

Uploaded version 1.33, with new marshes (made from scratch) and plain irrigations.
I'll update the previews soon

 

[TopGun]

Awesome. The best terrain graphics yet!

 

[mrtn]

Rhye, the sample island doesn't contain a marsh, care to post a preview?

 

[Rhye]

added marsh to my preview

I am not sure if this was said or pointed out before...

I used the mod but it seems to affect starting locations and the AI advantage. It is really hard to get a decent start and then when I run into the AI (sometimes right away.. depends on the size I choose obviously) they are way advanced compared to not using the Mod. I am only playing on Monarch so they should not have any advantage they appear to be getting.

Is this a bug or intentional.?

Hasn't anyone else had this probelm?

 

[Rhye]

This mod doesn't change any rules.

 

[skywalker]

Yes. Substitute the files in Conquests\art\terrain folder with the new files(after having done a backup)

Why would you want to backup the old terrain?

 

[Rhye]

why? well, in case you want to switch back...

I'm not sure if i've done this right but, I wanted to use this mod for PTW all the time and not just as a scenario. I loaded the files to:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Art

Then, after that didn't work, I tried to load it to:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Art\Terrain

and it still doesn't work. I know it's probably something simple but i'm new to customization. any help would be appreciated.

 

[Rhye]

In that case unzip to C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\

 

[Emperor C]

thanks for the help rhye. i figured out the problem though. my computer was "hiding" the file into a self titled folder in the terrain file. simple thing i overlooked before. also, does anyone have a link to amesjustin's 164 resource pack. i clicked on his link but their isn't one.
thanks for the support and the great graphics.

bump. Graphics looks great. Thanks!!

My only nit would be roads that stick out a little bit more... I have a hard time seeing which tiles have roads.

 

[HellboundHeathcliff]

There are many different road graphics available in the forum. Try some out until you find one you like.

Very nice! I won't download this Mod yet because I have dial-up and it will take too long. Maybe when we get Comcast High-Speed Internet, but for now I can't. I love the idea though, and even the screenshot looks good.

This looks great!! I always hated those trees in the original.. But when I tried to install it (I have vanilla with DyP mod), the game crashed.. I followed your instructions exactly. So could it be the DyP mod that messes it up? Is it even possible to have more than one mod installed at a time?

Thanks.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Fjonis, it is definately possible to have more than one mod. You installed DyP to your .../Civilization III/Scenarios/ folder, right? And then you go to your ../Civilization III/Art/Terrain/ folder, and backup all those files (copy and paste somewhere safe). Then, when you download Rhye's vanilla terrain, you put it in ../Civilization III/Art/Terrain and overwrite all the files there. Is that exactly what you did?

PS: When you have DyP, you can still play normal games without DyP, you know that, right?

 

[The Fjonis]

EDIT: problem solved. Great mod, Rhye!

 

[Smirk]

This is beautiful! I downloaded this instantly, thanks for this great bit of artistry!




My only comment is the waste/pollution sometimes goes unnoticed. Course I can just swap the original back in, so its not a problem at all.


Again great work! Also installed your color schemes, very nice.
