JK - Thanks for getting back to me, much appreciated. I tried all the TGA options presented to me in paint.net and whilst I can convert to greyscale, there doesn't seem to be an option anywhere - maybe a plugin I can find somewhere? - to convert to 8-bit. Will download GIMP and use that for these.

The Modding Wiki made no mention of texture formats hence going ahead with standard TGA file, so not a fully comprehensive guide then ;-)

Quince99 - I believe they need to be 8-bit (greyscale) and I haven't used compression (but maybe it can have it). I made or converted them in GIMP (as that supports defining it). It doesn't seem to be detailed in the modding manual.

I've been looking to add some of my own brushes and despite using yours as a template, I keep getting the following error:

Assertion Failure: Assertion `brushTex.GetTexFormat() == TextureFormat::R_8' failed.

The game loads to 100% then unceremoniously dumps me to desktop. The options for saving on paint.net are limited for TGA files, namely RLE compression, sRGB, and the choice between 24- and 32-bit.

Can I smoother rotate the brush?

I used this with Mad Hatter's autumn trees mod and my wheat fields look stunning! Great addition to the game. Thanks for the mod.

Very useful, thanks!

Ah, yes, found it. It might be helpful to mention, that it's useless to "paint" the tress, but to press and hold the mousebutton until the chosen trees/buhes are placed along the pattern/lines.

@4mB3r197 - Select any of the game's trees as normal, the increase Brush Size above 1 / Single. Then, as well as the 3 standard Brush icons (shown at the bottom of the box), there should be these 7 extra icons to choose from.

Hm...the mod is loaded and activated, but I cannot find this selection in the trees section?!

Thanks! that would be great!

@zaehner - Maybe. There could be a dotted line, but you may end up with multiple trees per dot or them being uneven. I'll look into it if/when I do an update for this mod.

really great!
Would it be possible, to have the trees in a row, so it can be used also for making wine yards?

First I thought WTF is this. But man this is great. Thanks a ton!

These custom brushes are a lot more useful than I would've thought when Urban said, we support custom brushes.

Something that I and everyone else in the UK have been waiting for! Many thanks for this superb addition to rural scenery!

Sehr genial danach habe ich gesucht.
