This is a really dumb question, but is it possible? Im using the rivendell cliffs on my helms deep map, and I dont want the grey part to be grey, but more brown to match the textures Im repainting.

I've never tried it, but this should be what you're looking for.

Ha ha, I had already thought of using this technique for Weathertop. I will move ahead with this project so I can do what I need and what you need at the same time.
Here is a texture for the Helms Deep cliffs. I will work closer to the photos I have of the New Zealand hill for Weathertop's textures.
Picture is a link to the actual texture.
Also - Nazgul can make terrain textures as well?
My way of changing textures in ini only works with button changes (I managed to change the RJ-Cam icons for City of the Dead) I've tried it with the Rivendale Cliffs. I do not understand JUS_SAURON's way and cannot get it to work either. :(

Yeah Naz can make textures, hes busy though. So I usually wont bother him.because Ill end up waiting due to him being busy. I dont really mind, its just that there are people who arent as busy and can whip something up pretty quickly.
Im sorry for not being clear on the texture, Im using the CLIFF ANFALAS01 and 02 for the mountains on helms deep, The one youve created would work if I was keeping the original texturing.
Thanks Bofur, Ill have to look into it.

Helms Deep on the left and Weathertop on the right.
Here is my unsuccessful progress on making a code in a map.ini
It instant crashes the game when I load the map.
The error says it is with line 3 " ... Error parsing field ' Draw' in block 'Object' ... ".
Object RivendellCliff01 ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01 Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01 StaticModelLODMode = yes RandomTexture = prascliff01.tga 0 prrivcliff01.tga OkToChangeModelColor = Yes DefaultModelConditionState Model = PRRivCliff01 End End KindOf = INERT_SHROUD_REVEALER IMMOBILE Geometry = BOX GeometryMajorRadius = 90 GeometryMinorRadius = 120 GeometryHeight = 290 GeometryIsSmall = No GeometryOffset = X:70 Y:0 Z:0 End End

Bump, I still have not figured out how to change the texture in the map INI (and I don't think NJM has found the code).
My above post is what I have tried. And I do not know how the replace modules work. Rob38's article mustn't be basic enough for me. ;p

Are you not missing an end after the end of the draw module? you are replacing it after all... (which is a "command" with an end at the end)
Or you need to move the kindof and the stuff under it out of that draw module...

Ridder Geel, it still has a problem with the code at line three (Draw)
Object RivendellCliff01 ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01 Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01 StaticModelLODMode = yes RandomTexture = prascliff01.tga 0 prrivcliff01.tga OkToChangeModelColor = Yes DefaultModelConditionState Model = PRRivCliff01 End End End End
I also think there are too many ends now. Someone would like to fix this code?

Oh right...
Make it look like this: (Sorry i shoulda spotted it sooner)
Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01_neworwhatever
So your problem is that the "new name" is the same as the old one, this:
Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01
should be:
Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01_neworwhatever
that should fix it

It works! Now all we need to do is to add the textures to SEE-DC.
Here is the code that works
The tag means Rivendell Cliff Texture to Amon Sul Cliff Texture.
I need to copy this for the other cliffs that I used.
Object RivendellCliff01 ReplaceModule ModuleTag_01 Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_01_rivtoas StaticModelLODMode = yes RandomTexture = prascliff01.tga 0 prrivcliff01.tga OkToChangeModelColor = Yes DefaultModelConditionState Model = PRRivCliff01 End End End End

Well thats great news, just wondering if the textures could be kept in the map folder with the map and the map ini etc Naz seems to have been swept away by the bruinen that is life and disappeared.

Oh no, don't worry Naz is still around
Although he hasn't posted much due to him waiting for something, but apparently that never came, but i think you'll be hearing from him soon again

Don't think you can njm, why would you want to? They have to be in the asset.dat anyway.
As you can tell my vast knowledge is limited to mapping. I just recall seeing a map that had a new texture for a river, in the map folder itself. So I was thinking it might work that way
Oh no, don't worry Naz is still around

Well thats comforting.

Editing textures of rocks and stuff specifically for a map is exciting. It's kinda what Radspakr has done in the Lone Wolf Worldbuilder.
