Anybody? I remember Rome was a bit strange.
I want to change the colormap_hires.bmp textures but I think unlike the other Paradox games this means a re-cache.
Unfortunately it wont work, I have tried the empty cache and the empty province_textures folder but no luck. I also deleted the colormap_time which I vaguely remember was part of the procedure but it does not work and the game will instead use the colormap_water.dds file which may just be the underlying part of the map and no textures for the land are being created.
Cheers Modestus.

I am not sure wether it is just Vista or all OS's, but if the loading of your map files fail you have to empty or rename your cache folder each time you want to load a new/changed map, so extending or replacing of the map folder doesn't work. When it comes to the colormap-files I can't help you, but hoppefully someone who can will stop by. All I know is that they have caused quite some grief in the past.
I am not entirely sure I understand you questions but have a look at this thread as we cover most of the map related subjects in there.
Ha one of the links is to an old thread where I explain how to do it for the mod file, now that's a strange one for the books as I am now learning from my past self.
Anyhow I will see if it works for vista 64.
I was just about to post about the same thing, after I had checked if it was you on the original thread. 
It works on vista 64. Its a lot easier to just overwrite the whole map directory rather than running half of it from the mod directory.
EDIT: Have you learned anything new from editing VII and HOI3?

Just got better using photoshop, Rome is different.
By the way the re-cache still wont work for me even after following my own past instructions.
It will work on another computer using XP but not on this one.
I had the same issue for a while, where I could only get it to run off XP, then all of a sudden I was able to do it on vista64. I dont know why.
I still cant compile the old RIMP textures properly on vista 64. Maybe because it was originally created on XP.
