WTF are you talking about?

well, yes, under two conditions:

1. the grass is covered in frost

2. you forgot to turn off teh surcafe effects of ice when you put the grasss skin on it.

I'm not really understanding what you're trying to say, so I'll just explain it in two ways.

Skin the Ice and Snow bitmaps on Ice Fields so they looks like grass. Then, if you WANT to slip on grass, just skin them and you're done. If you DON'T want to slip on grass, skin the snow and ice, and then go to the [effe]Effects tag. Swap Effects/Vehicles/Slip Grass with the two metas for Slip Snow and Slip Ice. Hope this helps!

Open up Bloodgulch in HMT . Open up the [bitm] tag and scroll through the bitmaps that start with "levels" untill you find the grass. Save it.

Now open up Icefields and scroll through the bitmaps that start with "levels" untill you find the snow. Inject the grass over top this.

Don't double post please. That is one form of spam.

You might want to swap out some of the cubemaps though. I can see it a bit in your pic and DEFINATELY see it when I did it for a test, that the snow and ice has a refletiveness to it that makes the grass look not quite right. Especially in the cave. Also, it looks really cool if you leave the rock as the original granit.

i love reskining best part is u dont have to use the original bitmap one time i put someones face on the ground and go to shader environment and look for one that says snow or what ever and u should be able to switch the snowy texture to dirt etc ive done it
