CMT Retexture

Replaces original trees from CMT with different textures.
Basically, this mod aims to deliver a different visual approach and style to original vanilla and CMT trees. It's not a better visuals, per se, but a different take on it. Some trees are reimagination of these that were in place, some of these are a more pronounced vision of vanilla. It may not be vanilla-friendly in some aspects of it and can be somewhat inconsistent and imperfect in places.

There's also no visual variation between same species of trees beyond minimum possible (size/horizontal flipping/summer-winter colour cycle for some trees). At least for now.

It doesn't replace any code or provide any of it's own that can cause any kind of errors by it self. Only significant difference from original CMT in this case is presence of sprites for Anima Nexus which is a replace for Gauranlen tree provided by [Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Anima Theme]. It will automatically use an alternative sprite if you've got it installed. Read "Optional dependencies" below to find more details.

It exists purely because one day after playing some Stoneshard and having a great joy looking at it's trees I went browsing RimWorld's workshop the other day and stumbled upon Comigo's Majestic Trees, so the idea of redrawing tree sprites was born. And after some tests and sketches in december of 2021, I finally reconciled with the idea of creating this mod. Since 8th of January 2022 I've started drawing a tree or two per day with occasional procrastinations for days and here we are!

You should check out Majestic Foliage Framework which is a more developed iteration of Comigo's Majestic Trees and Majestic Foliage - Djeeshka's CMT Retexture which is the same coat of trees as I've got here, but it is not maintained by me.

Requires [Comigo's Majestic Trees] and all of it's dependencies: [Harmony] and [XML Extensions], in order to work. Obviously should go after all of these in mod load order.

• [Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Anima Theme] for a Gauranlen tree alternative looks. This mod should go after VIEAT in load order to work properly. Otherwise expect visual differences and errors. VIEAT can be placed after original CMT in mod order safely.
  
• [ReGrowth: Aspen Forests] - supported as in original CMT. Replaces Red and Yellow Aspen trees. Obviously ReGrowth mod should go before CMT and This mod in mod load order.
  
• [Alpha Biomes] - only one biome supported as in original CMT. And that biome is Ocular forest.
  Other biomes can be disabled in AB's options, if you may so desire.

As you may already know from reading descriptions of original mod, there are options that allows you to control radius of tree fading effect.
In order to access these options, you'll have to navigate to
Options → More Mod Settings → type in search bar or find in a list "Comigo's Majestic Trees".
I suggest:

• Using at least value of 6 for [Size of the effect], especially if you're playing at swamps.
  
• To have [Refresh period] somewhere around 6~8 or higher for a smoother performance in price of a little bit of choppy fading time.
  
• To use https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218078784 to comfortably set values on sliders.

• For some reason XML setup for Gauranlen tree alternative sprite result into errors if you don't have Ideology DLC activated. These errors are harmless but I will look into fixing it. It should not cause that kind of errors, since requirements check is in place.
  
• If you have [Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Props and Decor] there may be errors. However, there's fix for that: [Majestic Trees/Props Compatibility Patch+] but there might be size difference between prop trees and living trees, which I may fix someday later.
  
• For some unknown reason if you mouseover trees (featured in mod) while they're being planted - there's an error that does appear without CMT Retexture with some trees and doesn't with some other trees. Not sure why it's happening. Investigating the problem.
  
• Fading on mouseover may not work for trees on an existing save for an existing map, if original CMT wasn't used before. That's a Comigo's Majestic Trees' issue. However, newly grown trees will have fading feature as well as any trees on newly generated maps.

• [Q] — Are you dead?
  [A] — Not yet.
  
  
• [Q] — Would you continue improving this mod?
  [A] — Probably not. If I will get back to modding - I'd probably make a new one using a different framework and art techniques.
  
  
• [Q] — Why?
  [A] — I'm an awkward wierdo.
  
  
• [Q] — Can I ask you something personally?
  [A] — Sure, why not. I prefer to use Discord, so you can find me directly by ID:Djeeshka#6034 or feel free to ping me in #mod-general on [RimWorld Community Server].[discord.gg]
  You can also DM me on twitter @Djeeshka.
  I don't really like to add new people to friends on steam, but if you have something important to ask - you can try, but don't except a fast response.

• [Q] — Do you accept commissions?
  [A] — No, sorry.
