Map Texture Replacer

Mod Window Opened

This mod allows you to easily replace grass, dirt and cliff map textures in your game.

This mod takes advantage of the fact that map textures are stored as standard unity textures, making them straightforward to read and set.

Hopefully when the full official editor releases, it will include map theming tools, but in the meantime this mod makes basic theming possible.

Requirements

BepInEx 5
HookUI

Installation

Download the mod from either thunderstore.io or from the mod's releases page on GitHub
If installing from GitHub, place MapTextureReplacer folder inside BepInEx/plugins and optionally download the example texture pack DesertMapTheme.zip

Instructions

To open, click on the HookUI button near the top left of the screen and select the mod from the dropdown
Click "Load Texture Pack" to load a texture pack or click on "Select Image" to replace an individual texture.

Texture Packs

This mod has support to load in texture packs via zip files. This mod includes one example texture pack, a desert map theme.

The vanilla game uses 4096x4096 sized map textures by default for grass, 2048x2048 for dirt and cliff though smaller scaled textures will successfully replace. For example, the example desert map theme pack uses 1024x1024 sized textures.

To make your own pack, just compress some or all of the following filenames into a zip file

Grass_BaseColor.png

Dirt_BaseColor.png

Cliff_BaseColor.png
