[redko]

Can I use this map as a substitute for the original map by renaming the folder, as I did with the Kyushu map? Or will the changes to the houses cause problems with doing this?

No you can. As all my repaints, in theory it's done to definitively replace the stock ones. it's what i have on my pc :wink: . only remember what i posted on the 1rst page of this topic, in case you get a message "string index out of range" that may happen as i erased some objects of the stock map:

go to missions folder, there we you have the mission or the campain your are trying to play. for EACH mission, locate the .mis file. For EACH mission playing this map, go to "HOUSE" chapter, and erase ALL what you have in this chapter and only this chapter.
check also if the name of the map is correct.....and that's all
save
exit
...and play .

So if you want to install this map as a replacement, just rename the map folder redko_palau into palau, that's all.
