Because I figured out earlier that I cannot have my villagers use the foraging animation while gathering from plantations if the Because I didn't like the dilemma (sp?) I was stuck with, I took a different approach altogether and simply made plantations autogather gold at the same rate that villagers gathered from them previously, added 50 food to their cost, lowered hp and armor, and made them take a population each. Well, recently I created a new texture for them, so that I can have villagers gather from them using the farming animation, without it looking so bad, and I can get rid of the silly autogathering. Problem is the "replacetexture" feature just isn't working for me, and I've tried a heck of a lot of combinations but to no avail. Here's a screenshot of the new texture, it's a little sloppy, but I think its not bad: (Note that the dimensions are acually 256 x 512, you just can't see the lower half of the pic becuase of the black background.) The ddt I made from that image is called "plantation" it is placed in my "C:/Program Files/.../Age of Mythology/textures" folder. and it has the same dimensions as the farming textures I want it to replace (BMP for both = 256 x 512, DDT for both = "12-bit, 4-bit alpha I haven't noticed any errors in its anim code either, do you see any?: Quoted from Plantation_anim: //========================================================== ==================== //========================================================== ==================== Yet what appears, in game is simply the unbuilt farm appearance (aka "world a farm cabbage01") it pretends my new texture does not exist. Is there something wrong with the texture itself? Or is replacing a farm texture not possible? (I would doubt that.) Does anyone know why, and what can be done to fix it?
