Grizzle Report post Posted September 17, 2005 The surface of Mars in UCAWA looks great! But the planet view is a little 'pale' in comparison. As long as Derek doesn't mind someone messing with his property (delete this thread if you do SC), then give THIS texture a shot. Copy to your UCAWApte3stetex folder (rename or move the original first!). Take a trip to mars and enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supreme Cmdr Report post Posted September 17, 2005 Of course I don't mind. But this should be in the modding section. Moved. The bitmap is wicked btw!! The only problem you will find is that the topology height map won't match. It won't matter, since there is no water on Mars; but if this were a map that had such elevation variants, you would click on a water mass (in Tacops) but then find that you're actually viewing land when you zoom to the ground level. Thats why certain maps (pte3ptemap*.pte) have special global height maps (pte3ptemap*.ghm) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grizzle Report post Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah I compared them and saw it was not aligned with the map you had. But I figured it was just for external appearance. Maybe I'll take the time to edit it and line it all up as best I can. BTW, I just dl'd GBS for the first time, wish me luck! Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzle Report post Posted September 19, 2005 Thanks! This was a texture I had laying around that I leeched off the net. Just modified it a bit to look good with UC's lighting. I think it's more consistent with the surface color now. Which by the way I'm very impressed with the new terrain engine... it's sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serondal Report post Posted March 8, 2007 I'm a little late to the party, wonder if there is any where to find this texture now a day. The links in the post are dead I'm really interested to see what all the hype is about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moonracer1313 Report post Posted January 29, 2008 ditto. Looks like a lot of interesting mods on here are no longer available. Would someone who still has this (Grizzle, if you're still around) be willing to put this up on another file share service and give us a link? This sounds interesting. thanks, Moonracer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
