I have sent the file to MrJolly for test and i hope will be dowloadable from the main map mods section soon. In the meantime dowload it from here.

This is the readme file (there is one also in the zip file):

MOD new_italy_DF 1.4 Export edition by 150GCT_Italo 2008 ©

Features:

-Added island:

Isola d'Elba
Pianosa
Salina
Lipari
Vulcano
Pantelleria
Stromboli
Panarea
Filicudi
Alicudi

-Added peninsula:

Orbetello

-Added airfields:

Orbetello (only float planes)
Marina di Campo (Isola d'Elba)
Pantelleria

TECHNICAL NOTE:
PLESE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE DEFAUL ITALY MAP RESTRICTION (VERY HEAVY TO HANDLE, WITH MORE OF 136.000 OBJECTS!!) THE GEOGRAPHIC POSITIONING OF THE ISLAND AND THE ADDED LANDS IS NOT CORRECT IN MOST CASE. ALSO THE SCALE IN SOME CASES IS NOT REAL.

In next releses i hope add some more islands and some more airbases with realistic architecture on the Italy hinterland.
I hope also to make soon MOD new_italy_DF compatible with 4.09 and with her new API objects.

==========================

does this replace the standard Italy map? if so, is there a way to add it as a new map?

I think you answered your own question...

planes/cockpits/maps/trains/convoys...etc...etc..... if they aren't in your files...you will only see the default...or maybe not at all....and maybe the mission will not load

textures look excellent Big Grin


- papote - 19.01.2008

problem I cant get it to work,

i have the comunity map pack installed

this is what im doing:
1.

i copied the folder italy_DF in the files/maps directory

2.
i added this line to ALL.ini
OnlineItaly italy_DF/load.ini

3.

added these lines to the filelist.txt

maps/all.ini
maps/italy_DF/It_actors.static
maps/italy_DF/It_ed_m01.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_ed_m02.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_ed_m03.tga
maps/italy_DF/load.ini
maps/italy_DF/It_map_c.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_map_c.tga_table
maps/italy_DF/It_map_f.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_map_r.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_map_t.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_map_h.tga
maps/italy_DF/It_texts.txt

when i try to load the map it locks the game. it happens with QMB and with FMB

what am i missing?


oh no!!! i deleted all these lines and still when i try to load the italy map (the original) it still locks the game. i screwed something up Sad


- fabianfred - 19.01.2008

What you do is right, but in filelist.txt you only have to copy only the lines with maps/.... etc. and not the line "maps/all.ini" that is already present above. You have to copy this line also only if you don't have the community maps installed.
Try and tell me.

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

Stay tuned, i will update soon with new airfields more realistic. I'm only waiting for some old photos (early 1940) of an italian airport from a friend of mine.
Bye!

This is a nice reworking. Only thing that struck me as odd was the sand texture climbing halfway up Stromboli - but I've never seen the real thing so perhaps that's what it looks like. :wink:


- Guest - 19.01.2008

I just added the map to the map folder in Mods/Basic/Maps/online italy and added the
OnlineItaly italy_DF/load.ini to the all file, works in QMB. Looks nice. I like that map a lot.

Right. It was very hard to make that island due to its small dimension. In FMB there isn't way to make some things as escarpment or mountain with big slope Sad( the pixels are too small. It's also hard even with small surfaces, put the right texture in the right place due to the same problem. FMB is not so precise. I just preferred thath way rather the sea climbing on the ground.
