Outback THEME Red Rock for Earth / Realistic

Description
This theme is an earlier work of mine with lower quality textures. There are a number of good red rock themes by talented creators out now. I suggest checking out Pdelmo who has made several Australian themes, for example http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1212270085&tscn=1518066203
Sedona theme by Ronyx69 is very nice, too.

This theme was made as an Earth / real life alternative to the set for Planet Andromeda. The images you see here are from that map (found here) http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682146268

You can use this map theme, though, for any map you like! There are lots of great map makers out there, so venture forth and enjoy this theme's nice textures anywhere you like :) .

/Red rock arid / partial desert map theme, based in temperate biome. Australia and the Southwest of the US are used as analogs for this theme./

Despite being high res textures, my game runs just fine on my cheap new laptop.

When you select this theme for any new game, you'll get the temperate theme's buildings and vanilla items like temperate trees.

Outback for Planted Andromeda (Alien Planet) is exactly the same as this one except its daytime sky is a *tiny* change in sky tint during day time (still looks like Earth), but with huge changes at night. And I mean huge, go take a look at what I'm talking about :) : http://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=681204282

No problem! I finally found an alternative theme for me made by pdelmo, so we both got what we wanted in the end :steamhappy:

Thank you very much! Having the contrast between the three main terrain colors is what makes this theme look so good; I've been using it it pretty much every city I work on

Sure, I can restore the old version. Your point makes sense :)

Hello there,

Is there any way you could reupload the previous version? I've been using it on a city for the last few months and the new update doesn't work well with anything I've done so far.

Or if there's any way I could unsubsribe to the newest update so that I can have the version from before Feb 6th 2018, that would be wonderful.

Thanks!

Hey @Ziggy_Birdman. I've never found a water normal out there. Give a shout out to OWL, because his water normals (including his own foam normal) are things of great beauty. I'lll see what he thinks about making a little tutorial. THe foam normal looks very different - I don'T even know what the word for that type of texture is LOL

Hey, speaking of the normals, you seen any good water normals? I really wish we had the option to have water with more surf foam like when the water touches land and then goes back out to sea. More realistic that way.

Absolutely! This listing right here is actually a map theme that gives you the colors of the US Southwest / Outback, so you can use it on any map you like. The map you see pictured is Planet Andromeda, I forgot to link it in the description :D Good that you messaged!

This map would look good with the american 1900's buildings!

Thanks! I too have heard that the normals are incredibly difficult to make, hence why I haven't tried. lol. All my textures that I've used in themes I've made were found online as well. I haven't done any map themes recently, just a few after the new theme editor came out. Your themes are far more advanced than mine so those videos should help. I may just leave the normals textures to the pros and just download them. I've heard of GIMP, I've used it before but its been a while. I used it back when I was editing photos. jpg is actually a more compressed image where as png is not, which is why you get better imaging with a png, of course you also get a larger filesize.
