"Couldn't just add a line to the maps_ru.properties rather than replace a line to get an extra map instead of replacing one. Just a thought Wink "

You have tried that m8 right?

Nah, Just made sense as a passing thought. "Should" be possible

I finished the CRIMEA "relooked like the reality".
It 's very very long and tiring to find all the textures and make a catalog to reassign them ... I modify all textures in the map. it's difficult to get consistent visual. But now for me, with this file, the Crimea seems to reality with plenty of rocks !!! It is a combination of Italy, Kurland, Burma's ... textures (and others ) !

Holy god that's good! hock: hock: hock:

[fly_zo]

woow , thanks for sharing m8 ....

it will become my new Crimea

Z

[Vpmedia]

Its my new Crimea now, thanks a lot!! I'm very happy because Crimea is one of my favourite maps and also a QMB map which I use for testing skins....

Could you do something about the boring appearance of the Smolensk map? Some brown "Kurland" fields would add a lot of immersion.

[CKY_86]

Never mind, figured it out 8).

One thing to note, one of the airfields near Sevastapol has a town texture on it.

[Skunkmeister]

There are some strange things on the Crimea map with R-one's mod:



Dry river beds and



City textures under a lot of the airfields...

Done his homework then-

the Crimea
Not a single river exists in the Crimea worthy of
the name through the entire year. Many of the
small streams are wholly dried up by the heat and
drought of summer, while the larger are either
reduced to a thin shallow volume, or to a series of
ponds scarcely connected with each other. The
Salghir, the most considerable, rises in the mountain
chain of the southern coast, passes by the modern
capital, Simferopol, enters the steppe country, and
creeps slowly through it to the Putrid Sea. In
nearly all parts of its course, before reaching the
plains, it may be passed dry-shod in summer, by
simply stepping from one stone to another in its bed.

[thetonester]

This is the single most interesting thing to come out of all this modding guff!!

The mind boggles at what is going to be discovered and created in the coming months....!!!

Hi Zo, I did it in a different way, the "right" way, you'll see what I mean:

There's a file all.ini in the maps folder looking like

Norway Norway/load.ini
Kiev Kiev/load.ini
Manchuria Manchuria/load.ini
KhalkhinGol KhalkhinGol/load.ini
Burma Burma/load.ini
NWEurope NWEurope/load.ini
Kurland_Winter Kurland/wload.ini
Kurland_Autumn Kurland/load.ini
.....

added line

Norway_winter Norway/wload.ini

in it.

Renamed your load.ini to wload.ini (whatever name just to be different from the original and correspond to the one in the all.ini)

Added maps/all.ini in the filelist.txt.
Added maps/Norway/wload.ini
That's all! :wink:

Curse this modding, i can't even have my beers properly.
Here's a shot which you'll like (particularly Zo hehe), explanation tomorrow

you've beat me to it m8

i found the same thing:

Kuban-desert (or any desired map) instead of online9a in game:

1. create folder empty1a inside files\maps\
2. past all extracted map files of desired map from its folder- for example Kuban
3. in filelist add paths for all that files
4.edit load.ini as you like
5.open maps_ru.properties ( files\i18n\) and change name of empty1a to desired name for example Kuban-desert

Now within the game you won't have online9a( which is empty useless map) anymore but you will have Kuban-desert instead .

Funny if we got the same idea at the same time m8 ....

Now i only need all map files for new maps such is Italy,Norway....

[lowfighter]

Excelent Crimea modification R One, I knew it!

About the anomaly around the concrete airfield:
replace
AirField0=
with
AirField0= land/summer/airfieldGr.tga or any other texture you think it fits in the landscape.

About the disappearance of the river I don't know, this is weird!

[Daiichidoku]

a note, that may or may not apply or be of use in map modding (or is a given to anyone but the most comp un-savvy like myself);

i made a complete map, and later, after uninstalling some flyables, i went back into FMB and copied the map, and ran it online

B 17G, for example, was not in set anymore...AI for me, as i uninstalled b17g for test...the other player couldnt select it either, wasnt on ac list, but he had b17g mod

there ya go
