Good fun that you found this, have been playing with it myself now, it thank-heavens is very easy to get rid of the lack of color variations in forests/vegetation also for none autumn looks.

Drawdistance is still a thing to solve though.

 

However what would also be funny to find if you could also do this for the "Inception" cities buildings autogen where all buildings have the same color.

I just tested. It works. As far as I understand, whatever you put into your community, as soon as it matches the core structure, what you put there will override the default files. Cool for the upcoming today udpate 😉

Here's the link of the .zip file with just the structure and two fake (but working) layout and manifest files : click here (without the 10-asobo_biomes.xml file that I don't have the right to share). Then, just put the modified "10-asobo_biomes.xml" file provided by @BijanStudio into the vegetation folder.\

Community\Fall\vegetation\10-asobo_biomes.xml
Community\Fall\layout.json
Community\Fall\manifest.json

Let me know if it can help.

 

 

 

Thanks so much for making this work in community folder.

Big Bear, 10th of November. Thank you for the mod, looks great !

To avoid replacing "core" file, isn't it possible to create something in the Community folder as we did for other mod (like the trees size weeks ago) ? By creating a similar community folder structure (as the original Official\OneStore\fs-base\vegetation), we overide core file replacement and we can manage the MSFS update (btw today)

1. A folder structure : Community\vegetation
2. A simple manifest.json and layout.json

As it was done weeks ago to correct tree size ? For example:

Manifest.json:

{
  "dependencies": [],
  "content_type": "CORE",
  "title": "",
  "manufacturer": "",
  "creator": "community fix",
  "package_version": "0.1.80",
  "minimum_game_version": "1.7.12",
  "release_notes": {
    "neutral": {
      "LastUpdate": "",
      "OlderHistory": ""
    }
  },
  "total_package_size": "000000000014658"
}

layout.json:

{
  "content": [
    {
      "path": "vegetation/10-asobo_biomes.xml",
      "size": 62523,
      "date": 132387590510000000
    }
  ]
}

 

A big thank you !

I have a new update to fix part of the world where the fall colors were missing. It's another file in the same folder. How do I add a second file in the setup layout and manifest files?

Great work!

Would you consider three file variations for early, mid and late fall with an increasing percentage of colored trees?

Just add a second group like this:

{
  "content": [
    {
      "path": "vegetation/10-asobo_biomes.xml",
      "size": 62523,
      "date": 132387590510000000
    }
    {
      "path": "vegetation/second_file.xml",
      "size": 12345,
      "date": 132387590510000000
    }
  ]
}

Have you already release the second file... somewhere ? Do you need any other help ?

I tried that but placing the folder in community folder didn't work for me.

Do I need to add the folder name "fall" in there?

{
  "content": [
    {
      "path": "vegetation/10-asobo_biomes.xml",
      "size": 62523,
      "date": 132387590510000000
    }
    {
      "path": "vegetation/15-asobo_biomes_cities.xml",
      "size": 29111,
      "date": 132387590510000000
    }
  ]
}

Oh, sorry to ear that. I didn't have to add the root folder "fall" in the .json definition files. The content of file on my setup is exactly what I shared.

Yes it's possible but time consuming.

Attached is just one part.

Great Work! Love the colors!

I am personally very excited about this. I was tired of seeing the same green all over the world so I looked into it and found a way to adjust the tree colors.

It's not perfect and there is no way I can keep everyone happy. Some like colors dull and some vivid. Some want more colors and some want less but I may be able to customize fall colors in your city. You can provide pictures and I will match it as best as possible. Message for more details about this.

🙂

Will something be released that allows for an easy unzip to the community folder, no editing files?

Yes but I can't get it to work but others see it.

Place this in your community folder.
