@Crroatian:  i didn't know this game  but i admit, i am inspired at the "Astérix" BD for my town

The tree house makes it look more Asterix than Evil Islands. Perhaps you can use the arena dummies to put a bard there
Should we get a roman style city I can put them next to each other...

Going by numbers I would say there are enough houses but you can check that best when you walk through it with the peasants walking around (and the guards standing around).

@Boosh: Looking good

@Liquidninja: I thought about it, I also thought I could try to make a dungeon city complete underground and name it "Dungeon 51"

@ Liquidninja. Thanks for your help. I had to re-install my video drivers. Apparently Windows 7's drivers are just a teensy bit unstable.

@ Berpol: Thanks! I have a few more updates that I'll post later.

I don't know if someone has the same problem that me but it's a little annoying:

You can see, i have painting this volcano with snow texture and i have adding white color (the maximum that i can) but i have always green color in some parts of the terrain (few yellow too). I don't know how to remove it. Maybe it's impossible..
It looks like the original color of the terrain.
Sorry if there are already an aswer, i have searched, but i have nothing found.

Ps: To not posting for only one question, here, one house modified:
Only one, maybe two with stone for keep a some logic at the e1.
Otherwise, i have found the smoke effect for the volcano (battlefield smoke), but someone know the effect of the "empty" object?
Nothing passing (good word?) when i use it.

Looks like an opacity issue to me. Here's what I would recommend doing: Repaint all of the white snow with the brown terrain you used for the rest of the mountain, while making sure that the sliders for opacity is on full. So that is is perfectly brown. Then select your snow terrain (also on full opacity) to paint the tip of the mountain, and reduce opacity as you move down the mountain for a natural "receding" effect for the snow.

Painting snow terrain can sometimes result in a few issues, especially on un-even surfaces. Depending on the camera angle you're painting from, I find that the terrain sometimes doesn't "stick" quite right. So it is generally a good idea to keep the base of the terrain you are painting snow the color you would imagine the land to be if the snow melted away.

As for the "empty" objects? There are a lot of objects that I've tried (and failed) to find out exactly what they do. Some objects only work at night (even if not explicitly stated in the object name), while others only modify other objects around them. If you are really curious about how things work, the best thing I find is to preview the object at night, with a known object (like a barrel or something) near it to see how your "unknown" affects other things.

Let me know if I wasn't clear on anything.

Unfortunately, it's always the same problem. I have completly painted with path texture, we can see green color, of course when i make more darks colors, it's better, but always here. With the snow texture still more because it's a color more light. i have maked some tests like desert texture in my town, same problem.

I have used the snow texture for create ash, i have thinked that it will be the best texture, and modify some parts with gray color.
Maybe i should modify all texture in the scene.txt with snow texture, because it will be easier to replace with another texture after.

Are the texture of terrain and the texture that we add, keep some tracks (impossible to delete)?
It's i'm thinking.

Edit: I try this solution and now it's good, of course i have a lot of texture remplaced by the snow. I can work now 
Thanks anyway Liquidninja 

I'm happy that you got it all sorted out:

Thanks a lot but i have an other problem for you 
I have saved my game and Mount and Blade has crashed :'( when i tried to load the town... the game crash. Same problem when i try a new game, the problem come to e1m1 file.
Are there any solution? (the file was 1.09Mo, it's a problem?)
I lost a lot of things but i've an other old savegame but it's very very annoying :/


The volcano some hours before the crash, less beautiful... but i think that i have finished... :


Sorry for all my problems...

Some cities out of custom settlements that I'm adding to my tweaked native expansion 550.


More cities from custom settlements that I want to add.



I have gotten 16 cities replaced still have to change peoples positions yet, not replacing Tihr or Wercheg.

Well, it's a very exclusive mod, but I guess we can share it with you 

http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,68400.0.html

Edit: @ Zerfei: 1.09mb is large, but since there have been scenes at 0.5mb or larger, that shouldn't be the issue. I actually have no idea why there are all the crashes! Are you using the "Scene Editing Mode" via the settlement menu? You need to have cheats enabled to see it. The only thing I can say are the suggestions I gave to Boosh on crashes But perhaps some one else can shed light on this. I wish you the best of luck.

Floating wall.

@liquidninja, yes, i always use the "Scene Editing mode" and i have tried the suggestions that you gave to Boosh but i have always this problem. My drivers are ok, and i think that my computer isn't too old :p

Now my file does 1.14mb and when i put some grass or stone ball ( or some a same elements) and i save the game, M&B crashes, of course the file is dead.
But it's very strange because, i got this problem when the file does 1.09mb (and more) and i remeber that i have put a lot of grass at this moment.
I'm afraid to add something :p
Anyway, the grass are my obsession. For the environnement it's more realist to add a lot of grass especially when i see a forest, at the feet of trees it's shocking without grass, even if i add just some plants, it's empty without grass
I hope we can put infinity elements otherwise i will remove a lot of grass and the stones of a house.

I have took with and without graphical Enhancement (resources and textures), i have seen that the "village" texture is very different.
Should i put the "path' texture for people don't use the GE?

With GE 2.5:

Without GE 2.5:

Hey Zerfei: Sorry I cannot offer a possible solution this time I am at a loss to why it crashes! However, regarding the issue of the textures, since GE is not officially integrated into the mod, it is probably better to paint your textures for non-GE. Or else people with vanilla M&B who just install custom settlements will become very confused by the miracle of crops growing out of the cobblestone paths .

No problem and thanks for all your help.
I'll follow your suggestions
Maybe at later when i'll have done the rest.

"I'm Always thank you for reading my post in spite of my humble English."

I'm sorry for confusing category.
I deleted what is in wrong place and repost this post here.

(1 - moved post)

During making city, I fell 'little' bored, and I tried to find some fresh work.
It's why I post screenshot although my work is not finished. 


- City Name : Rosengard
- Work : 60% Completed


<Finished Work>
- dungeon part (not interior)
- guard posts (to conneting dungeon part and city.)
- Light House
- Many things.

(2 - New reply for davecheeney)

nice job - great scenery. I think I would get lost wandering in that castle so make some obvious indicators of how to exit.

Suggestion on the sword story - change the hero's name to "Mike Hunt"

Click to expand...

thank you for reply and advice, davecheeney 

I considered main road is easy to find the way. (because Maingate to inner castle is only one ; and if you just follow 'a big road(or covered stone(castle battlement h - barrier)', you can go to south(riverside) or north(landside).

but you go into the dungeon, or hidden way (for example, I build ways between dual battlement or below building.) you would get lost. (RPG role ; you have to get lost your way in dungeon. It's concept! )

and village... I'll find some way to notice exit. ^^;


ps1. Mike Hunt...is who? 

ps2. I added some screenshots for you.

Wow that Rosengard looks amazing 

This is a picture I took last night for TWCenter's M&B Picture of the Month contest. Since it is Custom Settlements, I felt I should post it here as well.

This is Shiverglen (I didn't make it).

Wow! That is an amazing picture! Thank you for sharing - got any more?

Some more.

Again, none of the settlements shown are ones I made (I gotta give props to everyone who's made settlements - some of them are just unbelievable).

those are the best screen shots i have ever seen
