The Mod "Natural Environment Professional 1.1" in Steam Install?

[6plus1SMC]

I just watched colonel Failure Latest upload on YorTube an got the mentioned mod - but I am uncertain on how to make it work on a steam Install.

I found ( I think ) the (Steam-) mod folder and placed it ( unzip'ed :-) ) there - I changed the line in the settings.lua - file as directed on the DL palce.

But still no go.

Any help out there?
Best regards

Did you place it in X:\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\mods ?

Thank you for helping out - and - Yes I did :-(
I'll have a look at it again tomorrow - see if I can see what I did wrong.

Thank You
Best regards

I didn't change anything anywhere, just unpacked the mod to TpF/mods folder, started a new map (in this case Awaji Island) with European settings - with the mod active before starting the map - and it works.

I got it to work - Looks amazing !
Thanks for the help.

That's cool. This mod is indeed amazing.
Just so others know (since it's not in Steam Workshop):

That is pretty impressive. Here are two direct-comparison screenshots with the mod enabled and what it looks like without it:

Having the land covered with (good-looking) fields automatically is magical for me.

For some reason I just get a blue haze over the original textures..,
What could be wrong?

Set it as your last mod in your active list. It only did the blue haze for me when I set it as the first.

[themajor]

Thanx , i will try that.
But I believe the website tells us to put it first..?

[cszolee79]

At first install I just enabled it as it came (almost the last in the list) and worked.
Then started testing.
I put it first and all I got was a blue haze.
I put it last and it works and I get the pretty field textures.

Don't know why :)

[themajor]

I now have tried it with the mod in last place.
And yes.., the fields are there, but so is the blue haze.., now what?

[cszolee79]

Blue haze is part of the mod. Looks pretty :)
And after checking my mods, I think one of the enhanced track textures mod is overwriting the fields textures in Natural Envuronment. So that's why we did not have fields when this was set as first in the list.

"Blue haze" as you call it is the Rayleigh scattering[en.wikipedia.org], wikiquoting:"Rayleigh scattering of sunlight in Earth's atmosphere causes diffuse sky radiation, which is the reason for the blue color of the daytime and twilight sky, as well as the yellowish to reddish hue of the low Sun."

* New atmosphere with Rayleigh scattering (in and out scattering)
* New natural lighting system, yellowing away, realistic light and shadow calculation

[themajor]

I know that, But I still think that this is overdoing it a bit...:)

Indeed, I use also this mod, but the blue haze irritates me.
Hope there will be a version without the blue haze.
