They also become available in the Mayor mode tree menu, for you to be able to plop groupings of trees, and you can decide which tree you want at a certain spot (again plopping). Basically, the trees don't come automatically.  The ground textures do, however it will just be flat land unless you plop trees. Hope that helps!! quote> It does, Thanks

Date: 10/11/2005 8:43:31 AM Author: Andreas Roth I assume CycleDogg is updating the mod soon, using the installer scipt I created. With this, the installation should be much easier than before. I don't know what you expect from the look, but I suggest to remove the flora brush and the tree models, and use the ones that are available on the STEX. As far as I know, the textures haven't changed.quote> Thank you, Andreas. The ground texture is correct, with the tall grass and little flowers. I first heard about this mod through the MONK CJ. That city is very lush and densely forrested. I thought perhaps it would have more trees. I think, after looking at all the pictures in the MONK CJ that he must have manually added all the trees. Also, when you go the Cycledogg's site (with the broken links), the pictures there are very lush. I guess I just thought the mod would make things really lush like that. That is why I was asking about the CPL_Columbus_FloraBrush_Wetter.dat file. Because I don't have that file, I am wondering if I am missing files that would make my cities look more like theirs. Make sense? Thanks again for the info.

My wife and I absolutely LOVE what you have done with this. You gotta love the Monk TV show too. What mods did you use to make this, in particular, which terrain, rocks, trees?

I am a bit confused... I realize that the links are down and that some of the textures have been uploaded on the STEX for use with Jeroni's snowcapped mod... but... I have all of those installed and I do not get quite the look I am looking for. I see mentions to files like CP_ColumbusPlayTerrainParameters.dat CP_TerrainTextures_No1.dat CP_TreeModels_No1.dat CPL_Columbus_FloraBrush_Wetter.dat CP_ColumbusBeachCliff.dat CP_ColumbusRockTextures.dat Where do these come from? I know some are on the STEX, but what about the others? Are these included in the files that we can't get to because of the broken links? Are they part of the original Columbus mod? And, finally will all the files from the broken links be put on the STEX or were the textures that Cycledogg put on the STEX recently all that are to be uploaded. Thanks
