Deicide4u Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) See the image. Art on some of the trees should be corrected, as to not block the view as much. It's making it vary hard to guess where the base of the tree is, or where or when a storehouse needs to be placed. Bug: The trees are blocking the view of the ground beneath them. Desired state: Trees should not block the view. Map: Lake with Temperate biome. Also affects all random maps with the temperate biome, maybe some others.

Deicide4u Posted 20 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) I know the mod she uses, but that doesn't address the issue. Only obscures it. Also, I want to look at the pretty graphics Edited 20 hours ago by Deicide4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless I understood you wrongly, you cant have pretty trees that dont block the view? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrik Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago (edited) Alt+Shift+S (enable silhouettes), it's disabled on your screenshot. Edit: ah actually foundations don't produce silhouettes lol Edited 19 hours ago by Atrik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I...can? How hard it is to have a pretty tree that doesn't have huge treetops? We aren't playing real life simulation game here. EDIT: Age of Empires 2: DE trees, as an example. We are 3D, so just grow them a bit. I am not saying that they should look exactly like that, but older tree models from A23b looked better, IMHO.

real_tabasco_sauce Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago @Deicide4u there isn’t a specific small trees mod as far as I know, but you can try playing on biomes (in random maps) with smaller trees like the steppe. also, rotating the camera up and down makes placement easier, although it requires figuring out a good set of key binds. I’d like to know what key@ValihrAnt uses for this, but maybe it is top secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most people would agree that realistic trees are prettier, though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you place a storehouse, it'll turn red to tell you it's too close. Back off by a meter and boom, it's placeable. This takes no more than a second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rotate for aligning as well, rotating the camera just needs E ans Q for right and left respectively, as for rotating the storehouse we already know all you gotta do is hover your mouse around while having the building selected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the art guy says it isn't going to happen, it isn't going to happen. Feel free to close the "bug report". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
