Wanaka update -- did you install the Willow textures?

The official REAL NZ support forum

Postby toprob » Sun May 20, 2012 1:13 pm

The recent 'Southern Lakes' update for Wanaka included the option to install a new 'Willow' texture set which replaced the 'Cottonwood' textures. This was offered as an option, as it only made a difference for those without NZSI.

I would like to use these textures a bit more, but I need to know whether people would actually install them. They work a bit like the native bush textures in VLC, but without the ability to switch them on and off via the VLC config tool.

I guess the easiest way to figure this out is to ask people who installed the Wanaka update whether they installed these textures.

I did install them, but I was wondering how to uninstall them without uninstalling the Patch. unsure.gif

The installer keeps the old files, replacing the .dds extension with _dds.bak. So to restore the default:

Go to the Scenery\Global\Texture folder;
search for 'cottonwoodelm' (without the quotes!);
You should get 10 files;
Shift the 5 with the .dds extension into a temporary location (these should be the new textures, which will probably be deleted, but it pays to keep them just in case this doesn't work -- the Recycle Bin is a good place to put them provided you know how to recover files from the Bin.)
Rename the 5 remaining files to remove the _dds.bak extension and replace it with .dds.
