About This File

Cutaway Texture Mod 2.0, by CoriBoom and Raymond
This new version supersedes the prior one, because this new version has the original mod plus three new styles.
----------------------------------------

This is a terrain cutaway mod in HD resolution (1024x1024) and Normal resolution(256x256) textures.
It replaces that default cutaway Maxis textures, They can be used with standard definition terrain mods as well.

Many thanks to Cori and CB !! @CorinaMarie @Cyclone Boom,
I still remembered when that little newbie cautiously asked the help from Cori couple of months ago, How generous help he got.
I still remembered after the first version, A gentleman knocked on my door and inspired me with his kind and beautiful modification.
During development of this Mod, I received many good ideas and advices from them, Thank you! Dear CoriBoom !! :}

DEPENDENCIES:

There are no dependencies required for this file.

----------------------------------------

INSTALLATION:

To install, simply unzip the contents of this file into a folder outside of plugins folder, Then choose one of the DAT file which you prefer and simply drop it into the Plugins folder (Or you can put it in to any directory in Plugins as well).
Each Style has a corresponding picture which name is similar to the Style file's name.
The textures in the DAT file will be loaded and will overwrite the defaults(Maxis).

Note:
1) In order to utilize HD textures you had better rendering in hardware mode, otherwise you may experience a crash to desktop.
2) If you have already installed a cutaway texture include in your terrain MOD or others, you need to make sure My MOD loaded after them. e.g. Put it into prefix 'z___*' or 'z____*' directory.
3) In order to see the changes from region view, unfortunately, you will need to load each city and save it.

Thanks.

Maybe I'm babbling again, but I do appreciate people who gave me helps before, people who I was learning and inspiring from, Whatever I do now benefits from stuff other people have done before me. Without their splendid tools @rivit and great tutorials @CorinaMarie @Cyclone Boom I couldn't make it, I'm really standing on the shoulders of giants. For that, Thank you!:}

Yours Sincerely,

-- Raymond

The biggest difficulty I had was choosing which of the 4 I was going to install! All are spectacular! *:party:
I liked 4 very much, however, it was strange on steep slopes, so I preferred to stick with 3. *:yes:

This is texture 4: it looks like a stretched image.

Congratulations, it's an excellent work of art. *:thumb:

Thank you very much carlos, @carlosmarcelo Your advice is very important, it seems like texture which doesn't has too many layers and shapes is more better with the steep terrain, I will try to create some friendly to steep terrain mod at the next versions, Obrigado!*:thumb:

Sincerely,
