Where are Graphics

Post by Hairog »

Working on a Graphics mod and all of as sudden the mod is not showing up in game. So I went to docs/my games/warplan pacific and the Units and Terrain mods are all correct and up to date.

I though maybe there is another my games folder and did a search a dozen showed up!!
My theory is that as a beta tester, I had multiple installs and game changes and that's why they are there. I put the new mod one by one into various folders and still nothing changed.

How do you track down the folder that is controlling the game?

I'll keep that and trash the rest.

How many parallel game folders are you running?
I've never had the issue, so can't offer a real solution. But were/ are all the folders all pathing back to the single 'my documents/my games" folder?
(would love to see what the mods look like!)

If you have new files you just put them in the campaign folder under My Documents/My Games/Warplan Pacific/Campaigns in the campaign folder you want them to be part of.

IF you are looking for the base ones...not sure to be honest.

Well that's odd. I don't know why some people keep having WP being installed on a One Drive.

I turned off One Drive. I just use google drive for things and manually upload to there.

Must be the floppy disk user in me.

Both sizes. Atari 800 disk drives with that beeping noise as it loads.

I was talking to students the other day about the autoexec.bat file and more importantly, the need to alter the sequence of code in the himem.sys file to get games to play.
Lost count of how many format c:\ commands I had to do when things went awry.
They looked at me oddly and just said I was old.

I never save any files to the One Drive or have knowingly given permission for it to happen, yet it still keeps happening. How would I go about gaining control of the files on it and moving them out of it? I have learned from previous attempts to leave the devilish thing alone.

Al, could you post the bitmap (pdh,phd,lmnop) :) files for the new expanded unit selection and terrain, if there are any changes. I wondered where the added naval graphics went? You must have expanded the unit graphics layout.
