Darker trees mod

Post by Garnier »

DOWNLOAD LINK (2MB)

Extract the contents of the zip into your main Gettysburg folder.

I've modified the tree graphics to suit my taste. The originals were too bright green for my liking. I don't claim my trees are correct or more realistic I just like how they look better. :P

I used Paint.NET for this. The exact change I made was under "Hue & Saturation"
I applied -5 Hue, -10 Saturation, and -30 Brightness.

Very cool mod. Thanks! It definitely tones down the brightness and reduces pixel popping. Applying the same brightness reduction to the young corn stalks in #2 makes a nice difference too; you might take a look at that.

One thing I think is needed is to make it into a proper Mod so people aren't tempted to overwrite their default files. Just place the Graphics directory into a folder called something other than 'Base'. And a short text file included saying where to place the files would be handy too.

Proper mods still can't be used in MP so we're stuck with this for now. (I only play MP)

Edit: I've just darkened the corn as well and reuploaded it.

rclark,

The GCM mod is for the host only. It changes the skirmish formation, tweaks the cannon (makes them a little less powerful), and sets the rifle range to 220 yards.
