Help. Why does this file download as an Adobe Acrobat file and not as a zip file? It happens both as a direct download and as a Dropbox download.
It should download a RAR file to extract.

The map is beautiful. Can you please confirm there haven't been any long-term bugs or problems?

Glad you like it.
The mod does not change any coding, it only changes the artfiles.
So there are no known bugs or problems, and if there are any, then they would only be graphicly

I installed version 0.5 of your mod and it looks great in the 43-45 campaign. However, when I open the 4th Supreme Command scenario, the game defaults to the original tile set. Why would this occur?

that is strange,
I tested it just now and the art from the mod only loads partially in the 4thsup cmd scen.
In all other scenarios, the mod loads just fine.
I have no idea why this is the case.

It's probably because 4SC uses embedded data although I never realised it impacted on the artwork.

I tried this mod with a new game and there seem to be stuff missing or I'm being a dunce. Even if I toggle hexes on/off, I can only see enemy hexes. No hexes on water either. There are no icons for ports. Rail is missing altogether.
I moved the old files/folder and pasted in the mod ones. No luck
This is on the Steam version.

I'm not sure what went wrong but I suspect that in moving the old files/folder you have cut and deleted everything, and then extracted the mod.
The MOD only contains the files that have been changed.
So if that is the case, you should move the old files back in (keep a backup) and paste and overwrite the mod again.

Thanks, that solved the issue. For some reason I assumed that all tiles in the Tiles-folder was modded. What program do you use to mod TGA-files? The version of Photoshop Elements I have can't. I'm thinking about making a slightly desaturated version of your mod, with your permission of course.

This mod has been made with GIMP, it's a popular and free software.
But I've been using "Corel PaintshopPro" since a few years now.
If youre looking for photo-editing software, but only to desaturate the mod, then use GIMP.

I installed your map mod months ago and it looks so much better than what comes "in the box". But my map still doesn't have quite the degree of detail and nuance that your maps on the first page of this thread show (see screenshots). Do you think it's a resolution thing (I'm running at 1366 x 768 on a laptop) or something else? Any suggestions?

I think it's because you did not start a new game.
Changes I made to the file hexart.dat only apply when starting a new game, no way around it.

You started a new game after installing the mod, or before ?
did you try in 43-45 campaign ?
RE: WitW Mapoverhaul mod (updated 0.4)

Yes, I started this game after installed the map mod many months ago.
To test, I just started a new game of the 1943-45 scenario. Here's a screenshot.
I hope I don't come across as ungrateful. Like I said, it looks a lot better than the standard game.

It seems like wfhexart.dat does not load.
Check if you installed the mod correctly, in the installfolder go to the folder "dat", then look for "wfhexart.dat", its date should be 19/11/2017 .

Hi,
Thanks for trying to help me out.
The date changes because it gets today's date when it downloads. But I did just download the single file in the RAR folder - wfhexart.dat - to my DAT folder, started a new game, and it still doesn't look as good as yours. The downloaded file is 305K.
Is that the only file in your mod? That's all I see in the RAR file.
