Updated for DEI?

Hello @phazer!

I think the mod needs an update for the DeI mod..!
As @Ghostx said, the new buildings that DeI adds, look really off! :steamsad:

Thanks!
MissAlice 19 May, 2024 @ 12:01am 
Can this crash the game?
Ghostx 20 Nov, 2023 @ 9:36am 
Most recent DEI patch adds in a new appearance for main city building chain but it appears with vanilla/default textures. Can this be updated to retexture the new building?

Great mod!!! I have only a small question: why are the eastern cities so blue? Were they really like that?
Shatilov 16 May, 2023 @ 2:04pm 
@Ihavemanybullets That is because you have crossed the Mod Limit set by Rome 2 Mod Manager. decrease the number of mods used.

I get invisible officer faces when I use this mod for some reason, currently playing the empire divided campaign.
AstroCat 28 Jan, 2023 @ 4:43am 
Yep, still working for me with latest DEI beta. :)
Terendelev 31 May, 2022 @ 8:39pm 
Mod still works, using it with DEI 1.3
Kharn the Bloody 24 Feb, 2022 @ 5:39am 
Does this mod still work? Anyone know if it's compatible with Dei 1.3 Beta? How to see if the mod is actually working? Does it work for all cities or just certain areas?
phazer  [author] 25 Nov, 2021 @ 7:40am 
Yeah, it is the final version :)
The is an older version, just called "HD Cities", which looks different, not as good I think,

The other ones called "Barbarians" etc, is just that type of cities, and then the rest are not changed.
RECKLE$$ 3 Aug, 2021 @ 11:48am 
is this the final version of your cities mods, all types are in here? i dont need to subscribe to the other ones?
phazer  [author] 22 Jul, 2021 @ 4:32pm 
It is compatible with everything, as it is just replaces 3 texture files. There is no risk of conflicts or save game mess-up or anything. You don't need to start a new game either.
Wolff94 1 Apr, 2021 @ 12:24pm 
is this compatible with save game? or do I need to start a new game?
ruseruse21 31 Dec, 2020 @ 2:12am 
you should make the campain map for DEI hd
Ragnar LootBlock 13 Dec, 2020 @ 2:49pm 
awesome stuff could you make a version, submod for the Medieval 1100 AD mod which is awesome! but could use your help with that ^^
phazer  [author] 1 Sep, 2020 @ 6:03am 
Standard. Not changed.
steesh86 4 Jun, 2020 @ 7:31am 
What Brightness & Gamma settings are you running?
Hugh Bollocks 29 Apr, 2020 @ 6:40am 
Thanks.
MasterQueef 28 Apr, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
do you need to play on extreme to notice the dif?
phazer  [author] 26 Feb, 2020 @ 2:45am 
I guess I could do that, but then if would just look like plastered wall = all white, as the romans usually hid the brick under concrete and white wash as you say. Would that not be a bit boring?

Also a lot of the textures are shared, so it is possible that if I change the textures for houses that temples or something else also will be affected..
FERRDO 23 Jan, 2020 @ 8:00am 
Love this mod! Coupled with the close zoom campaign camera, when you build a new building you can really get in close and inspect it.

I have a comment about Roman buildings. I noticed that most of the masses which I assume are supposed to represent houses and insulae appear to have stone walls. The Romans were known for their wall constructions of bare brick, brick faced with stucco, and concrete.

Just wondering if a more muted stucco stucco texture would be more appropriate.

@everyones :
Here is 3dx max playing an animation that my program has extracted from Rome2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJI_DM-BR4

I have finally gotten animations OUT of Total War games, so people can edit them and put them back in the game My program RigidModel Editor 1.0, that can do those things will be released as soon as correct the last few bugs. It can do lots of thingd, including drawing the models with textures, lighting normal mapping, so they look like in-game.
phazer  [author] 2 Sep, 2019 @ 11:47pm 
Thanks :) If you have any ideas for changes, then let me know.)
kittyboy 24 Aug, 2019 @ 5:59am 
nice
Slavv 13 Aug, 2019 @ 1:29pm 
i like it:csgostar:
phazer  [author] 16 Jul, 2019 @ 1:33am 
Yes it should work with Radious, as this mod only changes ONE texture atlas, and it is NOT one that any other mod changes, so there should be no conflict, it even works with DEI.
NoProb 14 Jul, 2019 @ 7:14am 
Does this work on Radious mod?
Jason Wolf 9 Jul, 2019 @ 7:04am 
I need to try it. From what I heard it should be okay.
phazer  [author] 9 Jul, 2019 @ 6:54am 
Jason Wolf: Did you try it with the aqueduct mod? I have used an aqueduct mod alongside my city mods many times, I just have to make sure that the textured for aqueduct fit.
Jason Wolf 2 Jul, 2019 @ 4:33am 
Okay thanks.
phazer  [author] 1 Jul, 2019 @ 5:07am 
Jason Wolf:,Yes, that should work, but it changes the textures for the aqueducts too, so they look different (better) then vanilla:)
Jason Wolf 22 Jun, 2019 @ 10:52am 
Aqueducts (DeI version)?
Jason Wolf 22 Jun, 2019 @ 10:51am 
Will this work with a mod that adds aqueducts?
phazer  [author] 4 Jun, 2019 @ 3:41am 
I have finished the Dei Campaign Camera SubMod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760624445

You have to switch the vanilla Campaign Cam mod off, when you use this, because the vanille one can change the behaviour of DeI in a bad way. That is why is made a special mode for DeI.

Please try it :)

@everyone:


Updated camera mods, adjusted battle camera and fixed campaign camera


The campaign camera mod has been updated so it works without any issues for the following campaigns:

- Grand Campaign
- Imperator Augustus
- Cæsar in Gaul
- Empire Divided
- Rise of The Republic



https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1497092498



The battle mod camera mod has adjusted so the the movement and rotation speed fits better with the longer ranger, and min/max height is also slightly adjusted.

I see, it sounds complex - I'd love to see what the screenshot would look like - red and blue colour was on every column?

Interesting
phazer  [author] 10 May, 2019 @ 1:44pm 
I have already tried that, spent a lot of time on it, too.
I'd have to change certain areas of the atlas (map of textures) to red and blue respectively, but the exact same areas are used for things like the amphitheaters, wells and much else, and then the columns were red and blue and looked really well, but the blue and red color also appeared where they should not be, because the column textures are used for a lot of other things. Aside from the columns a lot in city looked really buggy.

I can try and look at again, but as the original texture was only 64 pixels wide, I don't think there is a way to separate "column textures space "from "public building texture space", I am quite sure it is the same area.
•LGA• Cyrus: Emperor of Mankind 10 May, 2019 @ 1:15pm 
So even if you add in the colours, it doesn't look like as shown in AC Odyessy - even if you use bright colours it doesn't make it look good?

Can you show screenshot
phazer  [author] 10 May, 2019 @ 11:07am 
I have tried making the columns red and blue, but the same texture is used in many places so it just became an ugly mishmash of ourtof place color.

Greek cities - AC Odyessy
•LGA• Cyrus: Emperor of Mankind 9 May, 2019 @ 2:30pm 
Hi,

After seeing the Roman Cities in AC Origins and the Greek cities - would it be possible to colour the Temples in blue and red? Ancient Cities were more colorful than we give them credit for - I would certainly love to see Rome get a lot of red and gold colours in this.

Tenerife_Boy: ]b] It that what you wanted :)?

Please try this shield mod for agustus/cæsar legion, it makes the battle much more beautiful:
