No you can not add new textures, you can only fix existing ones. Textures are in the files \ GROUND \ TEX1.BMP ... TEX40.BMP
TEX39.BMP = TEX24.BMP, mistyping smile

You can add a texture to a file TILES3.BMP

As Ab_99 said, the detailed factures are in that folder. It should work given that you properly replace them ( same name, etc...)

What is probably important is that its the same type of file, .bmp at a certain bit depth, im not sure what it is for AC but you could check it in photoshop or another software programm that can handle this ( not paint).
If it fails, do show a sample of the texture you are trying to replace and the one you are replacing it with. (in attachment) (not a screenshot of it, but the actual texture).

If GSC got them in game, they can be changed.

As ab_99 said, you cant add new textures, because from what I can tell its hardcoded in the engine how much textures it can have in the editor, ofcourse with the source code and the proper knowledge anythings possible, but seems a lot of work just for some textures.

Regards.

Textures AC and CII are not compatible. TEX1.BMP ... TEX40.BMP only change the brightness (256 gradations) texture from a file TILES3.BMP

If Google search correctly translated my idea. smile

Well, I know that this topic is old and that I probably won't get an answere, but I wanted to know if it is possible for someone to tell me where to get the source code? I have been trying to learn modding but few help me, give advice and direction. Most tell me that I will have to experiment, but I don't know where to start. If someone could help me that would be great!

You want to change the texture, or something else?

AI and what ever else I can.

What I really want is to change AI and formations along with adding troops to nations and kicking out some nations. But anything I can get the source code for will be great. Oh, where can I find the source codes for the game? Many tell me that I need to experiment and ask here at this site. I'm hoping that I can get information and help here.

Thanks, Me [HWK]MarshalBerthier

Maybe I'm crazzy to keep on asking for help but since no one has answered, I have been wondering if I'm being ignored. What I want to know is where do I get the source codes and how do I implement them? Any source code someone could give me would be great as I can get some experience by playing around with it and then hopefully as I get more source codes, I can begin modding.

Thanks for any information and help that can be handed down.

Well I would like to do programming, but I need help getting started and would appreciate any suggestions. I'm sorry that I didn't see your reply, I had assumed that because I had accidentally posted on the wrong thread no one would answere. As to ask Lord Gex, how would I able to contact him? And how do it decompile the AI.dll file?

I am learning computers in college but not for the purpose of programming, though, programming is something I want to do also.
