thanks for wolfgang for the idea
he dropped a hint how to do it but that kinda was just that
after few hours of research, and guessing i realized what he meant
browsing trough a lot of talk about TGA format and finally founding some hint about DSA and transport fewer where modders had similar issues
Gimp came up with an option while saving TGA to change the starting point, and save with no compression
This means you can do this trick without compiling in linux and if you know the info, its as same as putting a picture in the game folder, replacing the original with a desired one, running trough gimp and export in this format
Then you delete the contents of GroundTileCatche which will be generated again if you restart the client
without this step the textures will only show up in spaces where 8x8 is fully same biome color and cant handle the biome edges

What you need:
The "ground" folder contains 7 pictures in TGA format which are the 6 bioem types we got and the "edge" which is a generic photo while you are loading parts of map. Similarly to edge, jungles are technically dark green color edges.
Also if you fail the format requirement, your new texture turns out to be a blue edge pattern.
The new texture has to be same format, size, DPI as old one
Which is TGA, 120 dot per inch, 512x512, No rle compression, starting point bottom left (this option is top left by default in a lot of application, the only thing that even offers you a choice is gimp "export as")
even tried photoshop and couldn't find this choice

You need a texture, preferably seamless tile, which means that it ends on one edge of tile and repeats, when placed multiple times on same picture, you don't see the edge tiles and a seam
once replaced, you delete the cached ground tiles, and the game auto generates new ones from the groudn tiles, this is a longer load time next time when game starts

You can make seamless tiles, by offsetting edges to middle(pushes the picture horizontally and vertically, sides becoming center), then use a healing brush, smudge or blur tool to make that middle . this part is much easier and more professional looking in photoshop, but you can find this kind of pictures on google. Just resize it to 120 DPI and 512x512. this covers 8x8 game area so if the details are bigger, the game looks like the grass is giant and everything else small

no time to go to detail but i will work a bit more with it

Can you change all the sprites in the game like this?
Could you change the trees into realistic trees?

Proportion of textures aside, this looks really good! I love the sand

... are those bees?!?

Yes.

Nice mosquitos

pein · 2019-02-24 05:34:48

you can change them the same way, havent really messed with sprites yet, this is more simple and quite refreshing after so many hours seeing the same biome backgrounds

adjusted the textures, try it out, i havent myself but it should work

the mosquito is not my work, this is literally just a picture of a test run, and i was lucky to be on 4 edges and the mosquito
but i liked that mosquito for visibility
i will try to find the author of that one

edit: it didn't worked
but no downloads yet so is fine

desert and savanah ok
green should be greener, too bad i made it lighter

after a lot of messing around i learned a bit about leveling the colors, then that diamonds are better than lines, as they arent so easy to see patterns, and that a little noise is always good, also that adding same thing to itself 4x, turning it 45 degree, then cutting off and masking again results in pretty random texture

pein · 2019-02-26 02:07:11

added new jungle, darker green leather texture
new swamp in previous version, lot of people think is snow

so i added a blue sand pattern if people want to use it and this neon green became alternative too
so you got 7 base and 2 alternative

Grim_Arbiter · 2019-02-26 03:05:57

I think you've swayed me to add these.. Spice things up a bit!

Aurora Aurora · 2019-02-26 12:40:50

Its like the uncanney valley, I like it but it will haunt my dreams

pein · 2019-02-26 21:50:51

i swapped it out, it's a dark green jungle now
i left it as alternative if want to use it

karltown_veteran · 2019-02-27 01:27:07

I have no idea how to do any of this
On an unrelated note, I like your profile picture, pein. I don't understand it (the character has clearly had a boob job) but I like it.

FLAX 2.0

-new green biome
-new badlands
-new fog
-reorganized files

Click image to download from google drive

Should I delete the alternatives?
black and the fog is decent, rest not so much

pein · 2020-01-12 10:08:33

added 2 new biome textures

a yellow sanded version for the savannah and a brown blue swamp texture

quite similar to original just less of painting style with long brushes

made an error offsetting the textures but actually created a varied texture with multiple sublime details

there is a half-visible overlay, originally looks dirty, covers each 8x8 (the biome textures repeat at 8x8)
made a new version with swirls and it's creating an interesting effect on top of the other textures
