Question about 3D houses in "SOURCE MAPS: CITIES".

Mapjunkie

I have installed Perspective 3 and Source Maps Cities and followed the instructions in the "Tome" to create houses in 3D. On the bottom of page 655 it says: Choose the setting "Cities Medieval Grey" ... for the colors/fill styles of the generated houses. But in my case only "P3A ...", "P3B ...", "P3M ...", "P3V ...", "Simple Thatched" and "Simple Townhouse" are offered. "Cities Medieval Grey" I do not find.

The settings probably got accidentally overwritten by an update. Here's the setting for that house style

Roof:

Wall:

Thank your for the quick answer!
After setting all the properties I got a much darker result, even in preview:



What does the content of the section for "Cities Medieval Grey" in the file @System\CC2PER-Colors.opt look like in your case?

... and regarding the houses in the tome, the difference in brightness is even more serious.

The images in the Tome is a bit old, before the global sun was introduced. You can manipulate that apparent brightness by changing the setting for the global sun, or alternatively, turn off shading completely to get rid of the effect the sun has.

Mapjunkie

ok. That works! Thank you very much!

The Perspective Settings "Cities, Medieval Wall", "Cities, Stone Plinth", "Cities, Stone Wall" given in the tome I can't find either ... Have they been overwritten in the meantime? Can you please send me the "old" versions of CC2PER-Colors.opt and CC2PER-Houses.opt? I build the files together, so that it fits with the IDs.

CC2-Per.zip

These should be the right ones.

Thank you!
