Yes. Both games use the same map files. However, as a general precaution before installing any map mod, always make a copy of your map folders before you insert the new version. That way you can easily revert to the originals without having to re install the game.

Note that my files are all just TGAs - graphics files, or images. They don't change any of the game mechanics, data or scenarios.

Edit, Nevermind I am not sure why but I had to make the entire WITE folder writeable first.

Problem solved I gonna go take a look now




This looks lovely, but I cannot seem to make my Zoom2 folder to allow write, Everytime I go to the folders properties and uncheck read only and apply, it is still read only when I check again and so unzipping does not work

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Where is the game installed? If it's inside C:/program files then the folder may be protected. I always install to C:/Matrix Games/etc. to avoid that.

If you do reinstall direct to C:/ then you should be able to copy over your save games to the new install and not lose anything. Obviously, test the new install fully before you remove the old one!

Hey Red, would you consider a consolidation of your map mod into one package?  I think I missed a map reloading my game.

Which map are you missing?

[CarnageINC]

I got it Red, I didn't realize your posting of 123 had them all consolidated for use in the vanilla WitE.  Thanks for the work you've done, superb sir superb!

No problem! You would have had a log wait for the missing map - in Botswana now! Only two weekends at home since March

This is an excellent mod and I really appreciate the effort you have put into it! I certainly don't want to complain, but there are still a rather large number of errors in spelling. Or, not really errors, but the problem is that the map mixes English and German transcription of Russian place names. Everything with W or SCH in it is German transcription and should be changed. For an example, "Sytschewka", west of Moscow, should be "Sychevka".

Hi there. I believe that most errors you find will be errors in the game. The Mod uses the same names as those programmed into the game by the devs, to avoid confusion for players.

If there are town names in my map mod that don't match the game names (the name you see when you click on the town) let me know and I will correct those. Any other errors need to be reported to Matrix in the tech thread here.

Unfortunately not. Those names on the map that do not match the game names coincide exactly with those that have German transcription, and there are a number of them, primarily in the area north and east of Moscow. Again, I do not want to complain about your excellent mod, but those are errors in the mod, not the game.

Sytschewka should be Sychevka
Sagorsk should be Zagorsk
Werbilki shuld be Verbilki
Rogatschewo should be Rogachevo
Kaschin should be Kashin
Nossilowo has apparently been renamed in the game to Kiverichi
Wolga should be Volga
Alexandrow should be Aleksandrov
Kowrow should be Kovrov
Schatura should be Shatura
Kolstchugino should be Kolchugino
Jurjew-Polskij should be Yuryev-Polsky
Susdal should be Suzdal
Teikowo should be Teikovo
Konakow should be Konakovo
Not an exhaustive list

I guess that at some point you must have used a list of towns with German transcription, and that is causing the errors.

Also why is "Weissrussland" in German and "Valdai Hills" in English? And why are those two named, one Soviet Republic and one geographic feature, but no other features of those types? Personally I would suggest that those names be removed, or be consistent and name all features of that type in the same language, but IMHO that would clutter up the map unnecessarily.

Sorry to be pointing out errors, I only want your great mod to be even better!

Edit: Added a screenshot to show what I mean. Locations underlined in red are examples of those in German transcription, the W is a dead giveaway, all those with W in them should be changed, and all with SCH in them.

Just downloaded the newest version and still find numerous German place names, especially in East Prussia, mispelled. Unlike Russian place names German names are only speeled one way. If you need a list of the typos just ask.

[Redmarkus5]

Hi. Sorry, but I haven't looked in this forum for a while.

Is it only the Kalinin map that's affected?

[Redmarkus5]

OK, here's the deal.

I didn't use any other source file when I made these edits - I used the game itself and typed each town name from the in-game mouse over info box onto the map file in Paint.

So, a difference like the one shown here can't be a typo and it doesn't come from a list of place names - I don't have one.

The devs must have changed the names for many towns in the program in one of the recent patches?

Sadly, I am not willing to do this mod over. It's time to tell Gary Grigsby to put town names on his damn maps, as he should have done from day 1.
