I've followed the first page instructions and also installed NTL_Darwin map and it still won't load. I also tried changing the load.ini [woods] part to what you wrote on page 2 but it still does not work. It has java.lang runtime exception load problems with the load.ini I also have LAL_Rone hangars etc...

Also tried opening in both 4.08m and 4.09b1m but no luck...

Any idea?? Cry

EDIT:

in the load ini it mentions this:

[MAP]
ColorMap = map_c.tga
HeightMap = map_h.tga
SmallMap = map_M.tga
TypeMap = map_T.tga
FarMap = map_F.tga
ReflMap = map_R.tga

In the folder i downloaded there is no map_R or map_M.....

Hi - sorry your having trouble m8 - It shouldn't matter that those two maps aren't there. Make sure the textures are in _tex/land/summer/Grand_Canyon/

If you look in the load.ini you'll see where the map is looking for it's textures.

I think I followed all the instructions to the letter and put everything where it was supposed to go in my Il2 Folder, but I don't see the Grand Canyon map in the list of maps available when I try to set up a FMB. Anyone know the reason this might be? I didn't install the small QMB file.

- EasyRider - 11.05.2009

jzoopster49 you need to enter>

VKG_Grand_Canyon VKG_Grand_Canyon/load.ini

into the all.ini and it can be found in MODS/MapMods/maps
it will then show in the list of maps in the FMB

Really cool map Viking,thank you it is awesome to fly on

Thanks!!! I was trying to put it in the all.ini outside the mods folder. Works like charm now and great fun. Great map to fly around in.

Your welcome jzoopster49, glad you got it figured out
now you can check that canyon out Big Grin

This is a really fun map alright. I took the F9F for a couple of spins along most of the length of the Colorado river sections last night. Hit speeds of up to 720km/h indicated yet it was surprisingly easy to manoeuvre around the corners. Really great fun doing it though.

Just a comment, the 'top' of the map has some really obvious repeating textures which detract a bit from the overall appearance. However, since I suspect most people are like me and spend all their time down in the canyons it's not much of an issue.

Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

Hi.

This map looks absolutely gorgeous, but I am having some trouble getting it to work.

First of all, I do not have [quick] section in my conf.ini file, nor do I have ../Missions/Quick/ directory.

Creating the directory is a trivial problem, but adding a section to an ini file opens some questions, such as where to add the section, and what to substitute as the number. In this regard, I find the instruction to add "CustomXX=VKG_Grand_Canyon" to conf.ini somewhat lacking.

I'm assuming I can just add

Code:
[Quick]

CustomXX=VKG_Grand_Canyon

to the end of the conf.ini file, but the question is, what should be used instead of XX? Should I use 00 or 01? Does it start index from zero or one? Are the already existing quick mission maps counted on the list?

Well, I assume this is just a way to add the map to the list of maps used for quick missions, and as such isn't as important as getting the map to actually work, which it doesn't.

I keep getting the same error report as here:

Cpt_Biggles Wrote:World land().LoadMaperror.java.lang.RuntimeException:Landscape"VKG_Grand_Canyon/load ini" loading error

and nothing I have done has helped in this regard. I have:

-Installed the NTL_Darwin map (which loads fine in FMB)
-Installed the LAL_Rhone's hanger mod (which also show up in FMB)
-checked I don't have any rogue static.ini files (in fact the one needed for LAL Hangar mod I had to create manually - and had to subsequently rename to static.ini.backup because it caused all the ground objects to seemingly disappear from the game when playing with the stock maps)
-checked directory paths and cases to match those in the load.ini
-tried to check that the files specified in load.ini actually exist.

The last part seems to be something of a question mark, because I can't seem to locate some of the files mentioned in the file, but then again they could very well be utilizing the retail game data and I wouldn't see those files in the mod directory.

Here's my (relevant) directory tree:

Code:
G:\Pelit\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\Mods\Mapmods>tree /a /f

Folder PATH listing

Volume serial number is 0000-0000

Here are the files mentioned in load.ini that I can't see in this directory tree (there are others but most likely they are default game files):

map_M.tga
map_T.tga
map_R.tga

forest\ForestMask.tga
forest\ForestMask2.tga
forest\MiniMask.tga
forest\ForestSide.tga

Trees\MTO_AlteredBush8a.tga
Trees\LightM256.tga

Like said, most likely this is not the issue, but I'm fresh out of ideas here.

Am I missing something obvious? Does this map has some other dependencies than the ones already mentioned in this thread?

I really want to get this thing working, but it is eluding my efforts and it's getting frustrating.
