Trees not showing
« on: November 29, 2018, 07:20:40 AM »

After downloading Kevin P's excellent map-making tutorial, I started to experiment with some rudimentary features.
One features that I'm having a hard time with is the auto-generated trees.
Altering the "Forest" feature in the Conf.ini file did not produce the desired effect (not trees on the map at 1, 2, or 3 setting); so I went forth to create a tree.tga file for a _field texture, with the appropriate white "speckling" (greater than 3 pixels), but this too failed to produce the desired effect (again, no trees).
What did I do wrong?

Check if you have the "perfect mod" for landscape detail

Your conf.ini must have these lines + you need a graphics card:

Quote
[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll
 
[Render_OpenGL]
 
HardwareShaders=1
 
Forest=3

The .tree.tga file must be in greyscale color mode.

Naming should look like this:

Quote
texture_fields.tga
texture_fields.tree.tga

Maybe you should upload both the textures.

Trees might be invisible in MapBuilder while readily appear ingame.

Hi Milvipes

Did you check your load.ini ?
You must have those 2 lines (or something like that) at the end of the [APPENDIX] section :

Tree0 = Trees/MTO_AlteredBush8a.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees\LightM256.tga

I've just made a test. If you delete it, trees don't appear.

Btw not all texture slots will work. For example when I added a fields texture in the City0 slot it did not generate any trees. If you edit a map you can see that all settlements have manually placed trees.

Tree setting in the load.ini file:
Tree0 = Trees\AlteredBush9a.tga
TreeLightMask = Trees\LightM256.tga

Slot used for my texture:
Midland0 = land/summer/midland_fields.tga
Tree map: midland_fields.tree.tga (basically 520 x 520 black background with white blotches; in gray scales).

My conf.ini setting:
Sky=2
Forest=2
LandShading=3
LandDetails=2

In game: still not a single tree.

You have to use forest=3 under [OpenGL].

Curiously, trees become visible in WOOD texture, even though I did not assign a tree.tga file it.

Thanks that KINDA solved it, but since I'm using a laptop, it killed the FPS. Oh well
