This is where i have my stuff in case i need to reinstall...

1. Ok, from a fresh install, first install the official update:

https://mega.nz/#!XtA2FQoQ!vIYMP95tbSu- ... l_v_QmKni0


2. After you install this, install the Beta update, in the first post click on the "Attachment (1) ". You start the game from a new shortcut on your desktop that says "War in the Pacific - Admiral's Edition (Beta)"

tm.asp?m=3185062

3. After this, install all of the Patch 07 unofficial data scen updates by Andy Mac, those are unofficial but everybody uses them. They are made by one of the devs of the game. Install everything into the SCEN folder, NOT! the default game folder.

4. Now when your game is updated, we can install all the mods.

here are all of the Chemkids maps in a single file, first backup your ART folder (just in case):

5. And for the "Unified Art Mod", also unpack everything in your game folder. If something goes wrong, or you don't like it, just delete the ART folder and copy the backed up back in:

This is a great way to get new players up to gaming speed.[;)]

Could someone be a bit more specific on what stuff goes in what folders, and what folders to back up first?

Make a copy to a safe location of all folders you are about to add changes to.
If it is art you are upgrading, copy and paste the game Art folder to a safe location.

The links above replace entire folders, and are an easy way to upgrade the game artwork.

Specifically asking about the map mod, because that one doesn't seem to match any folders in the game directory?

The maps are in the Art folder, and to be honest, I wouldn't mess changing them.
They don't show some details that are needed, like shallow water areas.

So go ahead at your own risk.
Right now I would just focus on learning how the game plays.[;)]

Has anything changed in the four years since this original thread?

I don't think so. But update to the 1126 a/b, then use Seabee to set up the switches. Adjust the switches as needed desired.
