Hi all, very happy to see the map for an important part of the war in Italy. I come from nearby that area of Italy and I'm very interested to see it but I would like to know how to install and use it. I have HSFX 4.11 with everything working at max. My maps folder is :
Files/Maps/All.ini.
How you install it? Please be very specific. How you use this map in QMB?.
Hopefully somebody is going to make a modded campaign using it or using a detailed map of Italy ( Like operation strangle ).
Keep the good work and thank you in advance for the reply.

Got it ,thanks for all the help guy's.
The most easy fix to the loading problem is just to delete the "Land/Summer/Zip_Islands/dlv_Sinai_v2.tga " in the load.ini and only leave the "Water1 = ". The slot isn't used anyhow.
I'm very interested in the italian buildings, the lack of any southern europe buildings indeed is a problem. It's easy to exchange buildings even later, they must only be of the same (or nearly the same) size.
Well, with trees as objects the actors static may be about 3,5 MB, which is tolerable meanwile. The autotrees don't work and without them the appeal is quite poor. At the moment the map looks best in the mapping editor ;-)

Thanks ZippZap for this beautiful Map, very nice present.
I have had same problem as mnlk999 and Lejo, and solved it following dunkelgrun advise, thanks dunkel.
Months ago in one of my posts I asked for this Map, Why? because about almost 40 years ago I got a collection of three books related to WWII, the first of them have a very detailed narrative of events about Monte Cassino struggle, from the Green wolves (I think this was the name of this group of soldiers) defence as well as the beautiful stubbornness of a British Commander (Justin ?) attacking by land again and again until a group of Gurkas reached the hilltop (germans had already abandoned the area). A phrase come to my mind: "only Berlin received more of such a massive amount of bombs than Monte Cassino area". The other two books were "Japan defeated" and "Post War's Wars" (in Spanish) which I still have. Sadly, I loaned the first book (beginning of the War, and Europe T.O) to a very good friend of mine, who died moths afterwards, and to me was steep uphill to claim the book to his widow, so ...
... Sorry for this sidetrack gentlemen.
I posted Beta 2 with a lot of changes at page 1.

Kapteeni, the 196 color thing i didn't know, but would it help? I need the trees from the treefiles tga and i think like the random trees also the map_c trees will not show up if there is a building around (And in the flatter areas there is always a building around)
You don't know to handle the autopop? Shame on you :-) This is a must change, may be i can help?
Very nice !!!
How many airfields and how large this map will be? Scale 1:1?
Keep on !!!
