Depends on what you mean exactly. New biome maps, changing the layout of deserts/savannas around the world, or ground textures and vegetation for existing (or entirely new) biomes?

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 :)

Somebody did a "racetrack" video of Outerra through several apparently modified biomes and it was pretty cool! Unfortunately that Youtube account was shut down for some reason and that beautiful video seems to be gone.

Yes, some very nice ones, and I think there may have been some ground work as well.

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 (I have uploaded it again into a new Channel) But there is only a little Tree Mod and a higher Sealevel in it .
