Chaos Terrain Mod - Corruption Paints the Map Red

Chaos Corruption Paints the Campaign Map Red with Blood & Gore
The creeping tide of Chaos now menaces your campaign, gone are dull grey stonescapes, now the soil is soaked with blood, gore, and foul daemon tendrils. Will you turn the red tide back, or will you paint the Warhammer world red? Witness the terraformation of a daemon world, or wash out every spot of murky hell.

Description:
Chaos Terrain Mod changes the Chaos creep dds files from dull grey landscaping supplies to a muscle and artery red texture befitting the triumph of Chaos. Wherever Chaos creep is applied because of Chaos corruption, the new red textures will be used.

Improved Textures
Textures now upgraded to a true wet blood and gore effect. Khorne's wetwork bathes the map. Improved performance around cities with low corruption now with less blockiness.

Limitations:
It still snows on top of Chaos creep, like vanilla Chaos creep the texture is not visible in Norsca, Naggaroth, or land with snow, and some other map textures will override it. Chaos creep does not render at the battle preview screen.

Chaos creep textures do not render on battle maps. CA did include a terrain dds for battle map creep, which this mod also replaces with a red texture, however like vanilla creep it doesn't appear to be applied in battle. Let me know if you have or can get vanilla or this mod's Chaos creep textures to appear on battle maps.

The way the game engine renders creep around cities with low corruption is a bit clunky and can appear blocky. This has been improved in the mod update.

Modding Creep:
There is enormous potential for a talented texture artist to make excellent creep mods for Chaos, Undead, and Skaven. The gameworld can be much more than an asphalt carpark when the Realm of Chaos wins the day. This mod tries to be fun and serviceable, but a talented texture modder could really do the idea justice. Any texture can be substituted for vanilla Chaos creep. See this mod's structure for the files to be modded. The dds files are located at terrain -> textures -> campaign -> default -> creep -> chaos.

There are four Chaos creep dds diffuse files, one normal, and one spectacular/gloss. They can be edited in GIMP, make them tileable, and save as DXT5 with minmaps. The diffuse and normal textures are 1024x1024, the spectacular is 256x256. Total War normal maps need to be orange, not blue, see Magnar's tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALr43DLoud8

The four Chaos creep diffuse textures are layered by the game engine around settlements and the campaign map. Some need to be fairly transparent to avoid hard edges, particularly 0, see the vanilla creep files for an idea of how CA implement it. 3 is applied in the circle immediately around cities, and 1 and 2 are applied on the wider map. Part of the challenge is the maps need to share a normal and spectacular map, and because they are layered by the game engine, need to be progressively more filled out versions of the same texture. I settled on a light texture for 0, and the full texture for 1, 2, 3. Better modders may have better implementations.

Compatibility:
Graphical mod. Only changes the dds Chaos creep files. Will work with anything unless it also changes those same dds files, then whichever mod loads first will apply.
