This page shows you how to increase the number of possible ground angles on a mod map!
The number of ground angles defines in how many different orientation field ground textures can be (eg cultivated ground, plowed ground, etc).
The basegame maps have 8 ground angles. This page shows how to increase this to 256 ground angles!
Disclaimer: This will not increase the angles for planting rootcrops (carrot, parsnip, beetroot)!
Map i3d
To begin the i3d file of the map will need to be edited in a text editor. This can be done in notepad, but more advanced editors like Notepad++ or VisualStudio Code provide helpful features like syntax highlighting.
- Open the map i3d file in a text editor
- Search for "GroundAngle"
- Change numChannels="3" to numChannels="8"
- Delete all the lines starting with <Option between the line with "GroundAngle" and the next line down starting with </Group> (This should be a total of 7 lines)
- Insert the following lines in their place:
