SCREENSHOTS





Most M&B players finds themselves spending most of their time watching these ugly textures in world map view. So how about replacing them with much better ones?

Since I found myself still going back to this game - I refreshed main map's textures again! enjoy and share





NOTE FOR MODDERS in case you want to modify these textures: To make everything more alive I treated mipmaps as separate textures renderer blends between. So - before editing make sure you are loading them with whole mipmap set (there is a checkbox for that in DDS plugin's dialog screen). And when saving them again remember to check "Use existing mipmaps".

If your DDS dialog box isn't showing up then you need to find and reset this option in windows registry.

Features new hires world map textures
