Please do not make or share copies of this file with others. This is a freeware executable that will replace the default subformation graphics in the graphics/at2/fordsf directory with new custom subformation graphics created in original form by Gary Childress. 

This file is available for download at https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5128732#p5128732

If you did not dowload this file yourself from the link above, then I advise NOT to install your current copy, rather you should go to https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5128732#p5128732 and download an original copy. This will help prevent any altered copies of this file from being distributed that might include any malware a third party might add.

After opening the zip file, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW:

1. Go to your ATG game file directory. (It is usually located in your C: drive under a folder titled Matrix Games/Advanced Tactics Gold.)

2. Make a backup copy of the following folder so that you do NOT lose your original ATG subformation graphics permanently: 

Matrix Games/Advanced Tactics Gold/graphics/at2

This is the only file that will be affected when this file is unzipped.

3. AFTER BACKING UP THE FOLDER LISTED ABOVE, open the .EXE file titled "Garys Custom ATG SF Graphics.exe" and follow the prompts.

It will first ask you if you backed up your old folder. After clicking "yes" you will be prompted to browse for the location to extract the files.

If you want them to be extracted directly to your game files, then choose the folder:

Matrix Games/Advanced Tactics Gold/graphics/at2/fordsf

Otherwise, you can also extract them somewhere else before installing them in the game yourself.

4. Choose "OK" to extract the files.

5. If prompted to overwrite existing files, then choose "Yes To All". The new graphics will overwrite all the subfomration overlay files present in the chosen directory: 

Matrix Games/Advanced Tactics Gold/graphics/at2/fordsf

6. When the process is complete you will see a popup with the following message:

"Your new ATG graphics are installed"

You're all done. Enjoy the game and if you change your mind about my graphics, you will be able to recopy the backed up graphics file to overwrite the files that were changed and your game will be back to oringal.
