Hi guys, after talking to Redko I'm posting a shallow texture for his Palau repaint. I tried to keep it as white as Reddko was going for to match the real Palau area. I hope you like it.

@Bombsaway: Thank you for your great addition to the map first . Just I've found the file into the D/L as : water/BA_Shallows_RedkosPalau.tga.tga

I renamed it deleting the "double ".tga" and work ok now. Check the file into the D/L .regards.

I've tried downloading the file "Palau repainted- patched v1" from the link on the first page a number of times now and keep getting an error on extraction: "MODS\MAPMODS\maps\_Tex\redko_tex\palau\palau2.tga. File is broken."

Can some kind soul upload this specific file for download please?

Thanks in advance!

It's a compression problem i think, doesn't deal with hoster. So any new link would do nothing for you. The file is corrupted and you get a red texture, but the map work. 40 downloads in 1 hour maybe it's the problem :???:? I uploaded again and tested myself by decompressing it, and no problem. Try again.

New link in page one. :wink:

@ Goblin,sorry about that. :oops: I'll get it fixed asap and reupload the texture. Real life has me running around like a chicken with its head cut off. hock: Untill I can re upload guys just rename the texture and take off the .tga at the end. Sorry.


EDIT: Fixed the name of the texture and re uploaded the zip.

N. p. for me m8 (I'm little ok in manage files) that was to help others that could have any trouble about.Bomb..keep on making good sea shallows when R/l can permit to you as they're really all beatiful and give a nice touch to PTO maps!.. cheers.

Akdavis, do you have on your "Pacific Islands" some pics coverning the airfield of that part of the map :

I guess the airfield was nothing more than a kind of trench in the middle of the forest...

Do you mean the Peleliu Island field or the Ngesebus Island field? The Ngesebus field was still under construction (but nearly complete) at the time of the US landings. I'll have to see if I can find any imagery. I do have a good recon pic of the Peleliu field.

[redko]

Both.
i'm planning to ad the airfieds. i'm collecting datas and getting help from french forum too (thanks peremagloire). i have this :



Ngesebus Island field wasn't ready but i think it would be interresting to make it appear even impracticable

This picture is from 1946, and shows the field and island after US improvements. The US had no interest in completing the Ngesebus I. field, and you can see it is already largely overgrown with vegetation by this time.

Here is the Peleliu pic:



I found a low-res picture of the Ngesebus field on pacificwrecks.com. (http://www.pacificwrecks.com/airfields/ ... -25-44.jpg) I'll see if I can dig up the original.

I am constantly amazed by Pacific Wrecks. When I'm doing a bit of research and go into Google, up it pops almost every time. Usually with a bit of info that I didn't know, or picture that I hadn't seen before. Really useful website.

Keep up the excellent documentation and research. This will be an excellent update!

Sorry Guys, I would like to share your enthusiasm, but I cannot load redko_palau! I get an error in redko_palau load.ini instead :roll:
If I try to load the map in FMB either it gives me the error, or sometime IL2 crashes without a clue and vanishes... What am I missing here? Some static? What!?

Edit: I've checked some of the entries in load.ini and believe I'm missing some textures:
forest/summer/rom_ForrestFar.tga
water/water.tga -> I don't even have a dir named water! consequently these are all missing too:
water/CoralCoastLine.tga
water/PacificWater.tga
etc.

Would be possible if someone may add an archive of all the textures required for this repaint NOT contained in redko_palau TEX folder? I would be grateful!
TIA

Hmmm, you have a problem there. Those are all stock textures, nothing to do with mods at all. Can you load any stockPacific maps? If so it's not those textures causing the problem.

I was going to say the same. these are stock textures that's why it isn't on the texture file.
Sir_Galahad, can you load the map in fmb or you are out before. Did you put the line redko_palau redko_palau/load.ini in you all.ini file as requested? Because your message says the game can't find the map. You can change the map folder name and instead of redko_palau call it palau...in this case you have nothing to ad on all.ini, the game will replace the stock map by this one.
