I want to make dedicated autumn and winter maps/polypacks so they can be in the same installation (without overwriting the spring dds files)
That way we can have missions in all the seasons in the same installation
I discovered that it's possible to add more dds for the landscape in the file matlib.engcfg (for example we can add the winter dds files) but i don't know how to edit a polypack to make some changes (to repaint the whole landscape with the winter or autum dds textures)
I readed in the editor manual that there is a landscape tab to do those things (to add flora or vegetation or trenches, buildings...)

Ok i found the landscape tab....
But how it does work ?
The editor manual isn't very clear

I wish somebody could make a simple video tutorial about adding plants and things like that to a map. I don't need a complete detailed info, only something to begin to understand how does it works

In the videolessons it describes quite well, of course in russian. I don't know is it possible to see the lessons in eglish. U may start from the polygon source files, which were included by game authors:
...Steel Fury - Kharkov 1942\docs\video_lessons\lesson_data.zip
Unzip and have a look on the folder SOURCE.

He only drawed dds files - only textures - no data
I don't think he can provide  help. He only did photoshop work with the textures - nothing related to the info stored in the polypack/maps
I can add those textures to the matlib.engcfg file (with a different name than the stock ones so they can be used to paint seasonal maps) but i don't know how to draw a map

lockie those video lessons are not available in the english version
