Hello kevinp,

I was wondering how your doing on the updated version of the Map building tutorial for the latest Mods..UP3, DBW, and SAS Modcat v3.6?

I downloaded Version 4, I had version 3 on a UP2.01 Mod on a version 4.09 of the game. I did get it to work the first time on that!

I did get version 4 to work on SAS Modcat v3.6, through trial and error! I installed SAS Modcat v3.6 in a stock IL-2 v4.10.1.

Then I renamed it IL-2 Map Builder.

I had to change the MODS Folder re-name it to #SAS and leave in the all.ini for the SAS Modcat v3.6 and the files called STD, XTD and left UP3_GUNS....I never tried it without the UP3_GUNS yet.{ I'll get back to you on that. }

I added the Manam Manam/load.ini to the SAS all.ini in the MAPMODS folder.

I used the #SAS MAPMODS folder, emptied it first and then put all the things from your tutorial in it. But like I said I copied and pasted the all.ini from the #SAS Folder.

I also had to delete the Stock il2 fb.exe thats next to the colorful SAS il2fb.exe, I sent the SAS il2 fb.exe to the desktop and renamed it MAP Builder.

I also had to use the Map_c tool box to get the MYmap_c to work.

I couldn't get the MAP Maker to work on UP3 or DBW, just the SAS Modcatv3.6.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

rustydawg

PS....I just checked out what needs to be in the #SAS Folder(that replaces the MODS folder) to get the Map Builder to work with SAS Modcat v3.6.
1. UP3_GUNS can be left out, works without them.
2. XTD folder needs to be in the #SAS Folder!!!..Game locks on Desktop at 95% on the stock IL-2 4.10.1 splash screen, without it.
3. STD folder needs to be in the #SAS folder, the game will open, but will have the stock menus without it!

Don't forget to check SAS Modcat 3 on the IL-2 Executable selector, and delete the wrapper.text in the main game folder everytime you need to change something on the maps.

Everytime I exit the IL-2 games, map or player versions, I go to the game folder and delete the wrapper.text.
