Polynesia 2.0 No Mods Needed
UPDATE 8 – Apr 4 2017: No longer needs Daylight Classic to use! Even so, with Daylight Classic it still looks great: it has a deeper green, reminiscent of Moorea. Either way, less eye pain for both vanilla and DC players.
– Total rebalance to vanilla (default) color and lighting.
– Textures improved, adjusted to new lighting and replaced: Wave Foam, Water Normal, Cliff, Cliff Normal, Ruined
– Lighting exposure adjusted to vanilla lighting
– Water color in tropical based biomes is still a major frustration. Hot tip! Use Theme Mixer mod, find a theme that has beautiful water you like, and then from there add whatever parts of this theme that you like. Water currently cannot be changed. Check out BIsabeol’s New Caledonia Theme and MarkFire’s Monte Belo Theme. They are both temperate made to look tropical – the water effect is outstanding.
“It’s so dark now!” – turn off your daylight classic and LUT and see! Even so, still looks very nice in DC (a deeper, richer green).
Original description:
This is a complete replacement for the previous Polynesia theme, with all sorts of improvements and fixes. It has been completely remade (because updating the first was not working), now with a few higher quality textures, elimination of problems like that ugly road texture issue and bright gravel issue. thanks to a bit more experience and lots of help from the community. I hope it is nicer, and please do let me know if you have any feedback, it’s a learning process!
Miyagi Polynesia Gen II
You can use this theme with any originally tropical map you would like to. This was designed to replace the old, and as the theme for the new map Harapan Island
***Items see in screen shots***
Here is a collection of the items I’ve used to make this map and its images. If I’ve missed yours let me know so I can add it!
Update 6 – Restored to original version issued May 2016. I’d like to make some improvements, so please chime in what you think, or if you like it just as it is.
Update 7 –
1. Disasters: configured disaster probabilities to match South Pacific region.
2. Visuals, lighting and colors – Currently adjusting colors and light levels to look correct with no mod and no LUT. Please be patient while the transition is in progress, and if you still use Daylight Classic you can experiment with turning off Classic Sunlight Intensity and Classic Sunlight color. Finding a nice LUT can also help.
3. New Water Foam added
