That texture set was a tinted one i did with the roman texture pack for make the lorsch abbey since i didn't know how to make textures i just grab the closer one and painted. That can be changed for this stone type properly

Yes, easy man iI know. let me see if @wackyserious can solve this. building isn't so easily.

What about this one?

I moved the roof texture per column, each one 5 spaces up and alternate to create irregularities. The same concept was done to the shadows.

We can test? i mena ese the building.

[Alexandermb]

for some reason parallax doesn't want to work on civil centre or other buildings with their texture even when is enabled on actor

@LordGood is the expert in this.

In my opinion we can call have a noise I less harmony. check lordgood's mod.

Dunno about the most recent alterations to the texture, the current color pallet feels weird / unnatural / gloomy / dark (just a few words that come to my mind) (btw, I wasn't a big fan of the initial state either)

Well, I do like the current texture, more than the previous one. I've seen houses and buildings like those in eastern and northern France, Germany, Denmark, Czech Republic, and Romania (Transylavania mainly), I would'nt know if they really fit in the dark ages period, because I'm not a specialist of this period, but they certainly feel germanic to me, and not too high or fortified like it would be in late middle ages...Personnally I think it's going in the good direction, though changes can be made here and there, but I've got the feeling of this

Why did you created a new stone texture? The old one for the school and the wonder is good already. That new stone looks nice as a replacement for the grey one though. I tweaked it a bit and also reduced the saturation of the warm toned wattle and daub wall texture.

Now without effects?

[wackyserious]

Yeah, no spec and norm yet

Then I ask ... not shadows... I want to see better. but is great at this level.

[wackyserious]

I will have to tweak the shadows again, I accidentally merged the layers

[Alexandermb]

i'll leave textures there so you can choose wich works  however the gray ones needs to be updated.
Here spec map and normal map:

Your spec map is way too bright and the normals are weirdly desaturated everywhere but on the stone texture, that might be messing with your parallax

The normals i baked them from blender first and tested, wasn't doing anything then did a few test on gimp normalmap filter and had no luck until i did that one (only the stone zone is the one i changed the other was at it is) and they didn't had any specular map texture, look at this:

@Alexandermb @stanislas69 Should I commit the new Carolingian structure texture?

Yes, those colors match better with the lorsch abbey and church texture.

Baked a cavalry armor in case armorican cavalry could end being the cavalry champion (will make a saddle too)

Can you commit that horse armor and its actors and simulation files. Carolingians should definitely have a Champion cavalry.

[wackyserious]

We will have to reorganize the spear cavalry actor files. Maybe the current advanced rank variations should become the elite rank and the former elite variations will be used in the new champion cavalry variations.
