No. You have done something incorrectly. That isn't scenario 15 is it?

Not really sure how that one works. If you load scenario 115 or 116 it should look ok then.

You've the wrong pwhex.dat file installed. This has put all the bases in the wrong location. You want to make sure that the one you are using is the one in the download.

[marky]

o god

how do i do that? and wher?

[bradfordkay]

Okay, there's a file in the download called pwhex.dat. This file has all the base, terrain and unit information (I believe). It needs to overwrite the original pwhex.dat file in the main War in the Pacific folder (wherever you installed it, under whatever name you called it - but it is the main folder of the game installation). Have you read the instructions included with his program? Under windows XP it should have all gone cleanly. I have to manually install his map on my PC which uses Win98SE, but had the easy install with my laptop using XP Home edition.

If you're hoping to use his utility for switching between the original WITP map and ANdrew's map, you want to be sure that all the necessary original files were installed in the {Game Folder}\ART\Maps_official folder. This will include that original pwhex.dat file. Check the READ_ME_Andrew's_MAP_v4 file for more information.

Not quite right. The pwhex.dat file is for the map data. The bases are from the scenario files.

The way to verify whether you have the correct map data is to use the 'F6' key, the '1' key and the 'R' key to show hexsides, terrain and transport links respectively. If things don't match up then you have the wrong file loaded. The modselect utility should automatically load the correct map data file when used.

The base data comes from the scenario files. The screenshot looks like a stock scenario. The stock scenarios cannot be used with my map. At the moment, the only two scenarios converted to the version 4 map are 115 (converted from 15) and 116 (converted from 16). These two are supplied with my map package and should be available after installing it. More will be available separately soon, I hope.

All this should be explained in the README and the FAQ, Marky. The FAQ is in the map documentation. Where to find the map documentation is in the README file.

Also - does the the map data match the map (using the procedure I gave above)?
