[CEP] Rural (Evergreen)

[The Amethyst Dragon]

Just saw this entry on the Vault by Helvene: http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Hakpaks.Detail&id=7956 (Rural Winter Trees Override). It replaces the default BioWare rounded brown broadleaf trees with evergreens, and looks very nice (both in the toolset and in-game).

This entry gave me an idea, one which I do not have the time or skills to do myself. Why not make a non-overwriting copy of the [CEP] Rural tileset, but replace the trees in it with Helvene's (or similar) evergreen trees? Maybe call it "[CEP] Rural (Evergreen)" or something to set it apart.

After all, many northern climates have forests filled with evergreens. And winter is not the only season, even in northern places. Using the normal grass and colors would provide the ability to make such areas but with spring or summer in effect, rather than just frozen winter, and it would allow it to be done without resorting to dropping in dozens upon dozens of tree placeables.

Good idea, i was thinking on those lines as well when i saw that. Lets see if the tileset gurus here are up to it.

Helvene has plenty of good haks.. I give it 2 thumbs up!

I second Amethyst's motion.

I just now saw the override in use and love it myself. If it could be a non-overriding option as either an extension of the CEP Winter Rural or even a seperate version I'd love to see it added.

I know that Choco400 recently joined the DEP team and these evergreens actually look very similar to the way he changes the trees with his NWNCQ override. I don't know what he/you all ave planned but if his NWNCQ override content makes it into the CEP it would look great with these evergreen forrest trees.
