I've just added the fxFoliageReplicator update into the HEAD codebase.

I will continue to add in the others.

Melv, question on this piece of code...

Is it possible to do texture switching on it to simulate the passing of seasons, such as from summer to winter where the leaves turn colors?

Was wondering because I wanted to integrate seasons into one of the projects I'm working on and this seemed like the best way. Thanks!

Ted,

Yes, it would be very easy indeed to modify it.

On line 1587 ...
glColor4f(Luminance,Luminance,Luminance, ItemAlpha);
You could modulate your colour components with the 'Luminance' variable such as ...
ColorF SeasonColor(0.4f, 0.2f, 0.0f);
glColor4f(SeasonColor.red*Luminance,SeasonColor.green*Luminance,SeasonColor.blue*Luminance, ItemAlpha);
Changing the SeasonColor would change the foliage colour whilst still allowing the varying lighting to still work.
