View Full Version : terrain mod like GJK's mod for TOAW3?
I find SPWW2 and SPMBT sort of too busy in the terrain department for my personal enjoyment. I've looked around a bit for a mod like GJK's terrain mod for TOAW3, but I've come up empty. Does anyone know if anything like that exists for Steel Panthers? Thanks in advance.
AFAIK SP graphics engine is not modder friendly at all (in TOAW you just have bmp's to do..), so only the SP Camo people really made changes.
If you don't like what they've done you'll have to do it yourself I fear...

The SP games use .shp graphic files which are fairly hard to modify. It can be done but it is rather time consuming so most probably shy away from doing this.

I remedied this situation not by changing the terrain but by outlining the unit icons. I tried changing the terrain but the enhanced version is too good to just scrap. And you need to see certain things on the map, such as hills and slopes.

That was for WaW, where the problem is that US or other "green" units are not clearly visible, blended with the terrain color. It's not a problem in WinSPxxx ...
