Terrtex path subsitution – image 1

LAST EDITED ON Nov-14-04 AT 04:39 PM (EST)

Has anyone figured out how to trick the sim into reading terrtex files from "non-Kujo" terrtex directories?Here's the problem I'm trying to solve: much of California does not get snow and the grasslands have 4 distinct seasonal appearances: green in the winter, green plus wildflowers in the spring, golden brown in the summer, and a ratty greyish/brown in the fall. But Kujo, in their wisdom, only provides 1 alternative terrtex directory: snow. Which means I can only set up 1 of the 4 seasons as an alternative and to specify that alternative season in an activity I must call it snow, even tho I might want sun or rain.In other routes one might want snow textures, but rainy weather, etc. etc.I was thinking that perhaps I could fool the sim by redirecting the path to the snow terrtex directory on some dynamic basis from an activity specification. For example, /redirect terrtex/snow to a /terrtex/autumn, a new directory that I would create and populate with seasonally specific textures.Any ideas on how this might be done?Dave NelsonWP mainline, Oakland-Stockton: 100% complete;
