The Hispano-Belgian team, is formed by Delvpier and by myself. We have some common projects that will be released under our seal, At the same time work on particular projects will continue. Normally Delvpier create the height files, mapC and texturize the terrain, ( the main job ), and then I complete the texturization and add the needed objects, buildings, airfields...

PACIFIC ISLANDS IS NOW BIG FREE AND OFFICIAL SEE DOWNLOAD FORUM

First one is a small modification of a existing map, the Pacific islands, you know the online map with two fictional islands. We enlarged the map in order to get more ocean for those naval and carrier battles and specially added space between the two islands. We tried to mantain a generic look on it. You can see some pics here:

First of all the map:



Now the BIG ONE!!

A 1:2 map of Hokkaido, northern Japanese island including a bit of Honshu, Sakhalin and the Kuriles, it includes tons of airfields, harbours to bomr or defend, indrustrial complexes, railways, roads...
I made this map cause I love Japan specially Hokkaido islands, it have that wilderness look on all his geograpghy. Expect to see big mountains, unexplored forests, lost bays and tiny islands. I wanted this map to being able to land there for a 1946 Pacific scenario, still waiting the Bearcat . But can be useful for historical missions too.

You can see how big the map is here:





I created some airfields, they are a bit different some of them are big and permanent.



some a bit more provisional



Wit cool coastal towns to discover



and big industrial complexes to bomb or defend



Expect to see wonder weapons on that map

You can visit Sapporo:



Or enjoy the meat of the numerous farms:



Included versions for winter, hard, and early, but remember Hokkaido is far north and snow is copious!!.
Download the map here:

And copy this lines to all.ini in order to install it

HB_Hokkaido Summer HB_Hokkaido/load.ini
HB_Hokkaido Winter HB_Hokkaido/wload.ini

Please we need your feedback and opinions, and If you have any problem please contact us here.

Now about the problem, please first try to create and save a mission, If it works, is ok, nothing to worry about, If you can't save the missions, please keep reading.



********************************************** WARNING ******************************************

We have to make this warning. This map, as others, has a little bug.

Some of you won't probably be able to save mission files in regular FMB.

This is a bug recently discribed on this forum. It seems quite erratic...

affecting some maps and not others... or some players and not others...

BUT THERE IS A FIX !

For those who have this problem, you can fix it by deleting the line 13

in bldconf.ini :


(builder.PlMisDestruction)


Once this line deleted, you can save any mission with any map.

We have discovered this fix by chance... but we don't know much about

the relation between some maps and this PlMisDestruction plug-in...

Some people, ie Fly_zo, are searching further but at this time we don't know

what we have to change to make it fully compatible


So by approval of Fly_zo, we decided to release as beta ( so at this time, there

won't be any offcial download link )


We encourage everyone to give feedback about this bug, for this map but also for others,

so we will have more informations to find a way...


Comment : it seems it has no relation with modded objects nor with modded texture used,

for example, this map has no modded objects nor modded texture... and it happens.

interesting map
hokkaido not working,is not possible load,PF islands working but is not possible save ..so I read readme here but I will be wait for other fix ....

The Russians were to invade Hokkaido, so another "Cold War Gone Hot" scenerio is very possible if we carry on into 1946.

[Fly!]

Beautiful job! I deleted the orig. Kyushu & found that if you change the name on the Missions/Quick .mis files 4 Kyushu to Hokkaido it starts u right in the middle of your map.

[vtrelut]

Just a little correction: I suggest you correct the name of one of the Kuriles islands to "Kunashiri" instead of Kurashini.

Habomai, Shikotan, Etorofu, Kunashiri are part of what Japan claims to be Japanese territory which Russia should give back. Until this "problem of the Northern Territories" is solved, there will still be no peace treaty signed between Japan and Russia. Because these 4 islands were seized by the Soviet Union in 1945, Japan is still technically at war with Russia in 2008...

Just tried them out. Really like the Hokkaido ones. Finding info on Home Islands airbases must be a bitch though. I wish you the very best for the final version. :wink:

I noticed an error in the All.ini entries that are causing the crash. Currently it says to add the following:

HB_Hokkaido Summer HB_Hokkaido/load.ini
HB_Hokkaido Winter HB_Hokkaido/wload.ini

There are two blank spaces in the lines of text, before and after summer/winter. The game always reads the all.ini and sees the first space, then automatically reads the next word as being the folder name for that particular map. It looks for the /load.ini bit straight after and gets confused when it finds HB_Hokkaido instead.

To cut a long story short, changing the entries to the following will fix it. Having just one gap in the text is the key:

HB_Hokkaido_Summer HB_Hokkaido/load.ini
HB_Hokkaido_Winter HB_Hokkaido/wload.ini

Sorry to bang on, but I reckon de-mystifying the way the maps work is a good thing for all. :wink:

Good job catching that one Bee! Thanks for the heads up.

[vampire_pilot]

actually I was already wondering about the space without underscore....!
no other map has it, thanks for catching this one!

Now... are you going to tackle Honshu?

this is awsome

[Uzin]

I succeeded in both installing the Hokkaido map (according to the corrected all.ini row) and in saving a tourist mission made by mysaelf in FMB. It is a pity that Kunashir island is erroneously named. I am looking forward for anybody's historical mission on this wonderful map.

[RealDarko]

C'mon mates!!

Is released here for this error, that's why we provided a fix. You need that in game?? Sure? You use the destruction level all the time?
At the moment is improbable a fix for that so If you don't want to touch anything you will not be able to play this maps sorry. Maps are final, only this error impedes a final release.

Thank's Bee for solving that error, my fault!

About Island name was only a typo error, so easily solved you can do yourself in less than 30 seconds. Anyway, here's a fix for it. Simply overwrite the old texts.ini

Magot have you read the WARNING and README files? Have you noticed we don't know why this happens?? We and Delvpier can save missions without a single problem, so maybe you know why this error ocur and can give us a solution?

[magot]

dotn worry,I know about this fix but I dont use it,its not solution sorry,for me this map not working ...
