[WIP] Ground texture mod

[Mauri]

This is possible without the SDK. We need to take the original texture and replace all the small fields step by step. Yeah it's time consuming, but this is possible.

yehp ! its a major PITA imo. but somthing i might try. besides the alpha channel is a good basis to work on for layout.

Looks good Ali. I'm keeping a keen eye on your progress...

Very nice work, Ali!
Whilst the work that guy on the Russian forum has done looks nice, are the colours really representative of summer? It looks more like Spring to me.
It shows, though, how 3'D hederows really are needed to give the game that realistic boost.
Rather than creating new tiles, couldn't that guy have just recoloured the existing ones?

EDIT-looking at all the pictures on the Russian forum, I think the default colours are much better.

That does look much better!
Can the trees be moved/arranged, Ali?
Also, here's an interesting photo....

WOW, this was only by changing trees?? I hope luthier is watching your work, because you are doing it for them! I almost feel as if last patch's lighting upgrades were a direct response to your experimenting

Great job!
