[Solved] Everything working fine except grass and foliage colours broken

[0Beechlgz 9]

This is one of those threads where I'm warily wondering why after extensive searching I have been unable to find anyone even mention this. Is it only me who's getting this issue?

Foliage and grass colours seem to be stuck on tundra mode. Whether I'm in the desert, the jungle, swamp or anywhere the grass and foliage colours are a pale low-saturation greenish blue. I have tried editing the grass and foliage colour files in the bin but when I launch the game the launcher must overwrite what I've done because the files are reverted to what they were before I edited them. I wouldn't mind even if it were just all one colour across the world (maybe a mod limitation?) if I could just edit the colour that does show.

I've seen screenshots of other people's game and they seem to get richer colours (doesn't look like texture packs) so it must be my game only that's getting the dull colours. Can anyone please help me get the varied grass and foliage colours back?

Did you try deleting the TFC config files?

.minecraftconfigTFCOptions.cfg

.minecraftconfigTFC.cfg

[0Beechlgz 9]

Yes, nothing changed. I should also note that the biomes shown in f3 don't correlate to what's in my surroundings. Is this normal for TFC since TFC from what I gather uses it's own biomes instead? Or could it point to a problem maybe related to the dull biome colours?

[Emris 156]

I never had this problem before.

Are you using any other mods besides TFC?

Could you post a screenshot so we can get a better idea of what's going on?

[0Beechlgz 9]

I don't have any other mods running besides what the TFC launcher downloads automatically.

A screenshot:

Although I reckon this is meant to be a cool biome, I opened a creative world spawning in a rainforest. The colours were exactly the same.

Also I recently started getting crashes. It seems I can play a world for a short amount of time before this happens:

Once a world crashes once, It cannot be played again without crashing within a few seconds of loading. Not sure if the two issues are related as I don't know how to read a crash report.

The crash is caused because TFC is running out of memory. Since you only have a 32bit OS, the best thing you can do is set both your min and max memory allocation to 1024. Since TFC uses the full 256 height for world gen, with sea-level around 142 instead of the vanilla 61, it requires a lot more memory and much more processor heavy when it runs.

Also, those trees look correct to me, the colors mostly change depending on the time of year (Check your calendar by pressing N). In autumn you will get all the fancy different colors.

I'll second that. Foliage in the screenshot looks fine to me.

If you roam around a bit in Creative mode, you'll eventually find a forest that borders on a desert biome. Check the trees on that border and you should see light-to-dark brown leaves, with brown-to-pale yellow tall grasses. Sometimes you'll also find trees in low rainfall areas with the same coloration.

I asked myself the same question. It's probably still early spring. Wait until summer.

Actually I have a 64-bit OS but I would like to allocate more memory if tfc isn't already allocated 2 GB. How would I go about doing that?

And thanks for the info about biome colours. I forgot there was seasons in this mod.

[aliceingame 114]

If you have a 64 system, install java 64 and you might have to uninstall java 32 to have good result

[Emris 156]

Actually I have a 64-bit OS ...

You may have a 64bit OS, but you definitely have a 32bit Java installed, so you can't give more then 1.3G RAM to TFC.

-------------------

Operating System: Windows 7 (x86) version 6.1

-------------------

Try uninstalling all java versions and installing the latest 64bit version.

That should fix your problem.

And if you want to give more RAM, just use this

-Xms512M -Xmx2G

[0Beechlgz 9]

Ok, I'll try downloading 64-bit java again. I could have sworn that's the version I downloaded last time... It says it's on 64-bit in the programs list too.

And if you want to give more RAM, just use this

-Xms512M -Xmx2G

I don't quite understand. What do I do with those?

[Temujen 31]

If you're using the Launcher, then click Options and you can set min-max memory there

[0Beechlgz 9]

Thank you everybody. I think this is solved now.

Grass colour: Probably just wrong season.

Crashes: Low memory, just increased allocation now. Hoping it works, if it doesn't solve it then that's probably an entirely separate problem from this thread.
