From the included readme file:

This texture set is for the 'Pacific' coconut palms using my bushy mod (included in recent B.A.T. versions). They slightly lighten and desaturate the color of the fronds. It looks better on all maps, and matches nicely with my 40m palm plantation block object.

If your game does not include my bushy palms mod, but you have added it already, then these 6 textures will replace those already there. Just drag 'n drop these 6 textures into your existing \3do\Flora\Palms\ folder.

If your game is a more recent BAT version which includes my bushy palm mod, and if you already have a mod folder containing one or more map objects, drag the 3do folder here into that folder. This will keep your mod folder count down by one.

Thank you Wx...

Glenn, are you certain that your bushy palm mod is included in BAT? Because I don't think it is. I have the most up-to-date version, but still have to add your mod manually. To illustrate (Green Hell map)

Clive,
Ahhh... Looks like my wires got crossed over the inclusion of the palm tree plantation block. I'm still on BAT 4.0, and hence couldn't confirm my mistake.

From your screenies I can't really tell if there's a difference in the palm fronds. Are you seeing a difference? One way to tell, if you have the 40m palm plantation object, is to place the two side by side.

I know that when I see such video or stll shots by others I see the individual palms are of a darker and more color saturated aspect than is the palm block.

I have not downloaded the new plantation block yet, so can't compare that one. I have superimposed the block already in BAT to the previous shots. No real difference as far as I can see.

G'day cbradbury

I have B.A.T. 4.2.1 and my palm trees don't look like screenshot 1 ( B.A.T. Vanilla).
Something's wrong there.
I have bushy palms and never had to add them manually.

You are right. I just checked on my other BAT install (which has no mods at all). The one I posted above is from a version with several map mods. It may be that one of those changes the palm texture, and when I add Glenn's trees that changes them back! I will try to track it down when I have time.

Edit: Anomaly found - the Coral_Sea_Solomon_Sea map series adds the troublesome trees which led to my confusion.

So Glenn, your palms are in BAT by default as you stated. Sorry for any confusion.

Hi Guys

This is something that came up some time back (CzechTexan or squashman), but I was using VP Modpack and it didn't effect me.

If you look at cbradury's screenshots above or my first you will see a palm tree that doesn't belong (anywhere).

What would your preference be, to have the same colour as WxTech's Bushy Palms or a slightly different colour that still blends in?

B.A.T.



VP MODPACK



SAME AS BUSHY PALMS



SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT

In my very recent fixed objects pack I have somewhat repainted these trees. If you install that pack you would have them available, and you could try your hand at adjusting the color to your preference. Note that, due to the presence of alpha channels, you would need a paint program that can save 24 bit TGAs (meaning, it must be able to use alpha layers).

This tree is, I believe, 3do/Flora/palms2/

Or you could exchange the textures with those present in 3do/Flora/ngnb_palms/
