The problem lies within Canon's map_C file. He has tried to simulate shallows by adding grey areas over water ways and this is what happens.

The only way to fix this is for cannon to play around with the grayscale values of his shallows until he no longer gets trees in the water.

Our first attempts at creating reefs and shallows for the Slot map originally gave us this problem.

It's actually more a map_t problem. So that I had muddy shallows I placed non-water tiles in those areas. Fine, until there's a tree.tga in that slot.

Simple fix will be to wait until the final release when it's all fixed.

Quelty, I've been messing around with these a little bit, mostly to find out more about how it
works. Of course, there's only so much u can do with a load.ini file.
I've gotten rid of all but a couple of small clumps of trees in the water along the coast
of France (North of Dieppe and along the coast of the Bay of Biscay).

The only thing I can't figure out is the trees that inhabit the chalk cliffs. Did you manage it?
Is it possible?

Any ideas? I kinda think it will take Cannon himself to sort this. Not likely just now as I see he
has a plateful already with other maps.

I don't know how to say this without comming across piggy, uhm is there a time frame you're shooting for for final versions (this AND the amazing MTO map you're doing) FYI I don't do christmas very well either :oops:

It is like Canon UK said. There are pixel for textures which include trees. If you paint this textures too near to the beach you will get trees on the water. The beach textures for example do not have any trees. So I use the beach pixel to eleminate the trees in the water.

The MTO map is on hold and definitely won't be seen before Christmas. The Channel Final is busily being worked on and should be out by the end of October.

So can I only install these on add on maps --- I can't fine a load.ini for the orig game maps

They look great BTW - thanks for sharing

I just got around to installing these textures and I must say WOW!! A huge improvement on both Canon's and Asheshouse's maps!

I too have the trees in water problem as well trees growing on the white cliffs...but the scenery is so stunning that I can totally live with this untill the full map is released.

The extra autogen trees really add alot to the atmosphere of both maps. I used a combo of both bob_fields_1 and bob_fields_2 textures and the results are increadible!

Awsome job on these and thanks!

What do your FPS say when you have this nice trees on the map? Mine isn't that happy, drops like hell Smile BUt then again, my graphics card has seen it's time some time ago (x1800xt, 512MB).

Hi to all!
Many thanks for good words!

2 weeks I was absent and could not answer on your posts.

I did not guess at first, but now my colleague deSAD prompted me a method how to do that there are no a necessity by hand to change the file of AlteredbushTL.tga. It is necessary in the folder "trees" to place 3 files with the identical name, for example:
Autumntree.tga
AutumntreeTL.tga
AutumntreeTrunkTL.tga

And to write proper line in load.ini:
...
[APPENDIX]
...
Tree0 = Trees\Autumntree.tga

Thus we can get maps with the unique set of auto-generated 3D-trees.

Rus, please (if you have time) could you e-mail me a copy of your _Tex folder for the summer maps. I really like your first BoB textures, but when I put them in the folders _Tex/land/summer I get no trees Cry I've made sure I have forest=3 in my conf.ini and all the correct tga's are in the right place. The only folder I have in my _Tex folder though is land, no others. This is really confusing me, please could someone help me :?
