The Hankow China map has now been completely retextured from scratch. The populating by Riptide was excellent work, with nicely conceived templates of Chinese looking villages and towns. But the texturing of the map, the cultivated fields especially, always seemed to be lacking in the correct look and feel. It didn't really give an impression of being even remotely Chinese or Asiatic ...

So, after learning a bit more about using cultivated fields and how to better integrate them into a landscape, I thought a total retexturing of Hankow to be in order.

Please note, nothing EXCEPT the placement/assignment of the textures has been changed. All else, objects, airfields, roads, rivers, cities and landscape height has all remained the same. ONLY the textures were changed. New textures were made for the map, a greater variety in texture types was used so that various map areas have a different look from each other, and care was taken that cultivated fields no longer creep up hillsides.

To install this, you can either remove your old version completely and install the new full version. Or you can add the new version so that you have 2 versions of Hankow. If you add the updated version, note that you not be overwriting any file at all when you install. You will be overwriting directory structures, but it will not effect anything else. If you choose the Full version, you will overwrite existing files.

You will need to add a line to your all.ini file. It is included in both links.
