I still keep on finding things to do and try and improve on this. It never seems to look right.
Time to let it go I think.
I'll pack up and send to RB for perhaps a new Chickamauga build.

Your terrain looks great!
Should go very well with either the "Chickamauga or the Gettysburg" maps.
Now, just waiting on "Pom" to finish up with the new Sprites.
And of-course the Flags from "Reb", the game just wouldn't be a game without them!
The Game is looking good with these new additions!

New terrain mod by Jolly...
Unzip and copy to the Mods folder, prioritize below Chickamauga in Modifications:
ChickamaugaDD
Rather than an update, due to contrasting textures between this mod and the previous map, I've decided to offer this mod separately so it will provide for the option of another map, rather than replacing and eliminating the former.

Another big THANKS to Jolly, refreshing and transforming map terrain textures as he only knows how!

Thanks RB.
I've noticed that sav files keep the original graphics, so you won't get the new graphics loading.
One way to fix this is to copy the contents of the ChickamaugaDD folder into your existing Chickamauga in the Mods folder, backing up first of course. That way you won't need the ChickamaugaDD in your Mods folder.

"Jumping Topic"
Jolly - Question - Have you ever played around with the Maps? (i.e...Working on any of them)

Only the Graphics, for the games/mods if that's what you mean?

OK, Thanks!
But, I meant using your "Photoshop Talents" to see if there were \ are ways of exploiting how the "Power-Render" RGB files can truly work.
I don't think that no one has ever figured out all of the ways that the Program can actually improve the in-game graphics, such as the ground terrain.
I think that the PR \ RGB files can create things like shadow and terrain effects that no one knows how to implement, it sort of take years to learn how Photoshop even works.
The RGB files work with a Black background, but the black can be replaced with a Grey Background, I think that it is the Grey that can produce the Shadow effect, but my knowledge of Photoshop is limited.

Ah, I see what you are getting at Davinci.
I've delved into what you mention, without really going into it. I know the files you mention

Yep, without the original files it's like a deconstruction, I remember now after checking.
Definatley something to work on - I did get some interesting results.
Cheers
