I want to modify existing biomes and add them to outerra as new biome.

For example - Take a forest level and change the trees to Giant mushrooms or something similar :)

Post by: PytonPago on August 07, 2014, 03:31:38 am: Know Cameny plans to make a tool to create and alter all layers for terrain building (from flora-distribution to biome terrain background colloring), later on, till then, just texture-swapping goes. Those are in antenworld textures folder, so you can use gimp with the DDS plugin to play around with them ... (better make an backup of it). ... not sure how to modify the layer-data at this stage, but ME-DEM guys should be helpfull with that - try checking out their forum.

If you mean this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3IOewwtT9Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3IOewwtT9Y) (I have uploaded it again into a new Channel) But there is only a little Tree Mod and a higher Sealevel in it .
