Better Mountains Mod

BETTER MOUNTAINS MOD



mountain-goat_635_600x450.jpg

(These sorts of things can sometimes be found in the mountains in case you didn't know*)​
CK2 PATCHES:
This mod was designed for CK2 with The Old Gods (version 1.101).

DOWNLOAD

Use the 'Legacy downloads' because this is just as ancient history as the setting of CK2! Unless you are a person who's not using the RoI patch or later, there's no reason to download this mod. It won't work at all.


Legacy downloads

Better Mountains V1

Better Mountains V2

Better Mountains 3

Better Mountains for SWMH


* Goats not included in the mod


THIS MOD IS NOW REPLACED WITH BETTER MOUNTAINS II

Nice work but I think I'll have to give it a spin to see the difference.



Fixed it for you.
Damit! :p

Yeah, you can't really see the difference from the pictures.
 
Two minor suggestions unrelated to the mod's functions: the original .mod file was misspelled (Better Moun[t]ains), and for the purposes of retaining mods checked in the launcher, you should use filenames and folders with no spaces in the name (ex., BetterMountains or Better_Mountains). Other than that, looks good, especially the valleys in the Turkish/Arabian mountains.
 
Okay thanks. Didn't know that about mod names. I've replaced the old files now.
 
Very nice !! Keep up the work
Maybe intergrated in NBRT+ in the next Version if it´s ok for you ? :cool:
Thanks!

Yeah it's sort of a minimod (in terms of size), so it will be easy to incorporate into other mods.
 
Any plans to make this compatible with SWMH?
Hmm...

atm I haven't been looking after this as much as I should what with Painterly CK2. I did make a second version which is included in that mod, which irons out a few mistakes. Actually I quite enjoy making these though so I'll try a SWMH version too.
 
Okay, there are two new releases now!


Better Mountains 3:
An all-new version of better mountains which fixes most of the errors, is more faithful to the terrain textures, and is generally BETTER.


Better Mountains for SWMH:
A version of Better Mountains that can be used with SWMH. It's made using the same techniques as Better Mountains 3, so you aren't missing out, but I advise you to try this version and download the excellent SWMH (somewhat more historical) map mod by Aasmul.


This mod is designed for the current patch (1.111). But it is unlikely that any future patch will render this unusable. The only patch that changed the files Better Mountains uses was the Old Gods patch which added the rivers.

Just an FYI, neither of the current versions come with a .mod file. I assume they're supposed to be like this (filenames would be same as folders):

Better Mountains 3
Code:
name = "Better Mountains 3"
path = "mod/better_mountains_3"

Better Mountains for SWMH
Code:
name = "Better Mountains for SWMH"
path = "mod/better_mountains_SWMH"
dependencies = { "Some what more historic 2.8" }

EDIT: Whenever the SWMH version changes, you'd have to change the dependencies option, but that should be all as long as they don't change the topology.

Drat... I always forget something when I upload a mod... :(
 
Okay, re-uploaded... Sorry!

On my EUIV mod I have a before-after picture of something, and I actually used the same image twice by accident... :blush:
 
NOTICE: This mod will not be compatible with RoI on release. Please await a new version, thanks.
 
High Res Mountains is now CANCELLED FOREVER! Gone! Delete it! :mad:


And replaced with BETTER MOUNTAINS II! :)
