Description
Little side project, CC-DLC Add on for More dungeon background variations.

This seems to work just fine without it, with quick test, but is intented to be used with it, so you get these CC ones less often.

Does not add any backrounds to Courtyard, The DLC already has quite a bit of variations, so I tough I would do something a bit different for the DLC.

This mod adds 3 new backrounds to all vanilla dungeons, so total of 12 new backgrounds, with a little bit of Crimson Court flavor.

One backround with bottles, one with hive, one with eggs, to represent the spread of the monsters from Courtyard, for each dungeon type.

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

Check collection above for the main mod.

For people who don't use all in one mod, but separate background mods, you can download this add-on from Nexus (Link at bottom) and just remove the folders you don't want, they are named warrens, weald, etc. I doubt I will split this up to 5 mods here at Steam (Come on Valve, let us host multiple files with one mod).

These are added to the pool of vanilla and More dungeon backrounds-mods backrounds, this totals up to 102 backrounds total, from vanillas 35, and about from 9 to 23 per dungeon.

So these should be pretty rare, but the game picks backrounds from all of the ones available, at random.

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

Should be safe to install mid game, or un-install, just loose png files, no midifications to the games files. So compatible with pretty much anything, except with mods that add corridor pieces, then the game will read the mod that is higher in load order, if they overlap.

Just in case, install/un-install outside of dungeon, at Hamlet. I have had no problems just with it while testing these, but just in-case.

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

Vanilla base-game assets, and some Crimson Court assets (that is why the requirement) used and slightly edited in some cases, to put these together.

Customizing:

Should be safe to just remove the ones you don't like, just browse to your workshop folder, find this mod, and you can remove, or edit them as you want. If you want some wall to be more common than other, atleast in theory since it is random what the game will pick, just copy that particular picture, and change the number at the end.

If you modifye these, they are just .png pictures, but you need GIMP, or Super-PNG add-on for PS, to save them in proper format. Otherwise the transparency won't work.

Possible updates in the future.

Thanks for the mod man. I was going through the mod files on my system to check for conflicts between your mods and some other background mods I was planing to use and it seems like the ruins backgrounds from this mod conflict with your own ruins backgrounds in the main mod (as in they have the same name and path: dungeons/crypts/crypts.corridor_wall.21 - 23). Just wanted to let you know if in case it wasn't intentional.

@Kahvipannu I think these being rare makes sense, the Crimson Court isn't exactly everywhere.

Nice idea, and fits pretty well with the inmersion. Thanks!

You don't need it to make this work, but if you want all I have ever made, get the all in one package, and this add-on.

This mod - just 12 CC influenced corridor pieces.
All in one - All the rest.
4 dungeon specific packs - All in one split into 4 parts.

Tell me, do you need the original mod for this to work? I mean, if I wanted all the background you ever made, would I need both the original mod and this one?

Thanks man. Just a few variation, but I didn't want to add too many, since I wanted CC ones to be quite rare.

I might add more, but I would need to add more to the other dungeons too then, unless someone else starts adding to the pool too.

Nexus link up, if you want just ruins, or weald, etc, download file from Nexus, unpack, remove the folders you don't want, install.
