Ultimate Flashpoint Mod Previews and Videos

There is a version of the model that doesn't use the ground texture layer. Can't you retexture it with the grass textures from the models which use the ground texture? In other words create the full range of available grasses, but only using the model which has no ground texture.

What do you mean by not loading properly? I haven't had any issues with the grass in SP or MP (I'm using the mission template placement method).

Right now, I am just learning how to model and texture in OFP, so it will be a while before I do any of that.

When I say not loading properly, the textures that I have, have an LOD problem so to speak, as they always look like crap for the first minute or so when I start my game. Another thing I am disgruntled about, is that all the downloads I found only had two grass variations. I see you have the one with the flower grass, which probably contains the other variations.

No, I made that variation myself. It doesn't exist in the original release I have. I retextured the model for the green grass with no ground texture to use the flowered grass. The version I'm using is available here.

In this case, it's relatively simple to use a hex editor to alter the grass texture path in the ODOL model for the patch without the ground texture to create the flowered variation. However this is usually a grey area in the EULA of most released addons and is highly controversial. Meaning it is advisable to get permission from the original author before considering releasing any retextured models.

One of the reasons I don't intend to release my Dragon Rising mod is that it contains dozens of retextured models from a large number of addons and it's not practical to get permission from all of the original authors.
