Ground types settlement plan

This article is about ground_types that are used inside settlements.

ground_types

A settlement plan ground_type file can be found under data\settlement_plans\ground_types. It is a .tga file that is used inside a settlement plan, and tells the game what sounds to produce when a soldier walks/runs over that given section. It will also disable/enable grass render for certain ground types.

Most of the example images are sized 512x512, but I suspect any size of factor 2 will work.
The .tga file is being referenced inside a settlement plan. It has its own line after the floor.

The -288 -288 288 288 is the positioning of this file and the scale. You can use this in your 3d editor and create a plane with length and width being 576, and applying this .tga

You can paint different colours in here, but thanks to Feral we know what each color means.
