You may have a folder root/files/maps
This is the old system.
You should not have the old system and the new system running at the same time

Can i just delete the old one, or do i had to do reinstall?
Answer here :wink:

No need to delete straight away.
Just change the folder name:

From root/files to root/junk

Now try running IL2 and loading maps in the map editor.

If it works ok then you can delete root/junk --- keep the junk folder until you are sure.

If not then there will be some files that you need to copy across.

Ensure you have the correct all.ini in root/MODS/MAPMODS/maps

did you copy that folder (files) as z_basic in to MODS folder before you've renamed it to junk ? .... so all previous mods you had installed still works ....

Do i copy everything or just maps?

copy whole files folder ..... (so you have : mods\files\) ... rename it to z_basic ( so you have mods\z_basic) . For maps , move all.ini form z_basic to mapmods\maps\ if you don't have one already (newer one) . Be aware game will load first all maps you have in mods\mapmods\maps\ folder and only those you don't have in there will be loaded from z_basic\mapsq . Same thing for all.ini ... if you have one in mapmods\maps\all.ini that one will be loaded ( one in z_basic\maps\ will be disregarded )
And if you have same map in mapmods\maps and in z_basic\maps but with different files (for example actors.static you have in z_basic\maps and not in mapmods\maps ) you could end up with mixed mods so:
i recommend that you decide which map mods you like and put all of them in mapmods\maps ... and remove maps folder (z_basic\maps) folder afterward .

Practised things couple of times and it seems to work now
Seems that at least photohop cs3 messed my tga so game couldnt read them
Uninstalled photoshop and installed GIMP

I dont know, but something else was wrong too. Maybe that new wrapper.dll messes some paths
Maybe it was 409 mods.exe or some mod... maybe PHOTOSHOP FM was porked.....

Im gonna start my Lapland war map from scratch. I decided to make it more or less dogfight type map, since i work alone. And set it in winter. Size would be like in online 9 (IIRC), small Finland map. I wanna include in it an island (Svalbard). So i want to know how big is that maps map_c (not encrypted).
I cant find no satellite dataFor Micro DEM. So i must use something like satellite photos as a reference to North. Any suggestions?
Has anybody tryed terrain modeller like Terragen or bryce for map_h?

HI all!!!
I started to work with real map now. Its gonna be semiaccurate. lots of smaller than real. I did try to make it 1:1. Area is over 1000 km2. Too big...

Where can i find all the Mp_H, ed_m01,ed_m02 etc. RGB and greyscale values? I think i saw them in someones post, but cant find them anymore.

During this weekend there have been lots of progress here in Never Never Land: New maps (Malta and Sardinia) They are just osum...

CHEERS Kt (OMG! me so prOud....! :oops: )

It looks good. You need to one of artists to retexture one of the human figures to look like Santa.
