New Winter and Spring Tiles Mod - 01/01/15 12:25 PM

This mod is nothing more that a JSGME transfer of the old OFF3 Winter and Spring Tiles into WOFF.

I felt that the current WOFF Winter and Spring tiles are to "green" and do not correctly reflect new growth or plowed fields ready for planting like the old OFF3 did.

Both of these mods are JSGME ready, so you can installed them and un-install them anytime you want to reflect the two seasons.

Tally Ho

OFF3 Winter Mod: OFF3 Winter Scenery

OFF3 Spring Mod: OFF3 Spring Scenery

Panama, distributing those is a bit of a no-no, don't you think?

TimeFusedExistance:
These are nothing more than existing OFF3 tiles and I gave full credit to OBD. Plus, they are no good unless you have purchased WOFF to use them in, so what is the problem ???

dunno, just wondering smile also it will make all the sweet trees placement off (sorry no pun intended)

No, the tree, fence, buildings and animal placement are the same. I have been using this mod for almost a year, and OBD kept the same trees in the same places. Try it and you will see. biggrin This is why it is such a great mod because of the minimum changes.

I just wish that WOFF had the real Fall and Winter trees like they did in OFF3. Those trees had colorful leaves in the Fall and bare trees in the Winter (unlike the current WOFF).

I think your mods are great, Panama. Thanks for doing them! ... so are you able to get at the trees in OFF3, and update WOFF with those too? That would be very cool smile

I am not much of a painter, let alone someone who can work well with alpha's.

That is why I need someone else to volunteer to either convert/mod the OFF3 Autumn and Winter trees to WOFF, or mod the current WOFF Autumn and Winter trees so they look more realistic.

The individual tree graphic tiles are slightly different in OFF3 versus WOFF, so it takes someone with "painting and alpha" skills to do the trees since it is not a direct import from OFF3 to WOFF. sigh

I may be showing my ignorance here but I will throw it out there.
If I happen to be using the OFF, let's say the Winter Terrain, for a certain month during a campaign , can I not just copy the tree file(s) along with it via JGSME and get them to work. Or is it not quite so easy? I will guess the latter.

The trouble is the tree/building .DDS's are different, so just using the old OFF3 tree/building .DDS's will give you black buildings, animals and other trees that have been added to the WOFF tree/building .DDS's.

This is why all the new items needed to be (1) added back to the OFF3 tree/building .DDS's or (2) the old trees need to be overlayed onto the new WOFF tree/building .DDS's.

The OFF3 and WOFF Terrain Tiles are the same, just painted different, that is why it was a simple swap (once you found all the parts that needed to add to the mod).

As for just using the WHOLE OFF3 Winter or Spring folders, you have other problems since there are a number of files in there that refer to the loacation of everything, so you would have a messed up "world" doing this. That is why I had to extract only the appropriate Terrain files for it work correctly.

Ah, ok thanks for the clarification.
Figures it wouldn't be simple. Just reinstalled OFF/HitR to nose around inside the folders.

PR, glad you've gotten these OFF items to work in WOFF. Well done! I agree wholeheartedly, it would be outstanding at some point to have full fall colors in this sim. I miss those a lot. Fingers crossed that either someone here has the time and ability to take on this project or that fall colors will be part of the next expansion pack.
