As I said I used layer masks to make transitions (ie grass to stones) for both color maps and normal maps. There is no special trick, you need to make sure that everything tiles correctly. Unfortunately often all this work is invalidated by bad positioning in game...


Anyway, I finished uploading .dfmod builds for all OSes. They can be found here.

Well my base textures tile perfectly. When I make normal maps from them, its a mess. Because they all have different strength apparently.

When you make a normal map from grass, and than u use the same settings for a tile with grass and stones, the grass will have different strength on this tile than on a "grass only" tile. Also, the normal maps on the terrain never worked resulting in very harsh terrain at the distance.

I doubt anyone can recreate it according to that explanation..

This is exactly what is was trying to explain to you. I didn't make color maps with masking and then run a tool on them. I made BOTH color and normal maps with masking.

Yes, i had to make masks for the main textures so i it wasn't an issue to re-use them for normal maps. Making them for already existing textures is doable but is something i would be less enthusiast to do...
