I'm having wierd problems with this. When I'm in the editor I see the full set of graphics mod changes; looks great but I replaced the cities and forifications with the original images. That works in the editor as well.

I replaced the generic file with the renamed 'Real' master file. I also selected 'generic' as the file for the scenario to use.

When I exit the editor and run the scenario it seems to be using a mix of images. For example, forests, mountains and coastlines are in the 'Real' format, but plains (most of the map) are in the old default format. I've even done a reinstall of AT today and the same thing happens after I add the Real graphics folder. I'm 100% positive I didn't paste the wrong images anywhere.

Any suggestions?

If you're playing the Russia scenarios (and I bet you are !), they use "additional" graphics for the weather effects, that uses hardcoded "vanilla graphics" files, each turn they're drawn according to weather tests.
So you need to edit the scenario and change the graphics files links in the weather events. Same for Ardennes. The modified scenarios were in the mod zip file. If you want to adapt your modified Russian scen you have to edit it the same way (pretty simple).

So can someone advise on how to edit a scenario[&:]  I downloaded the file into the bin and now what??  When I play the scenario and hit the edit I sont see anything reference the files.  I'm new to this editing stuff.  Thanks for any help

The scenario has to be in the scenario folder.
I think when you choose "Load scenario" you see directly the content of your scenario folder.
Maybe you should read the guides and tutorials first. The editor is not that easy to handle.
Need some learning to use all the power there.

@juergen,
 
lets keep it easy for starters: you'll find two already modified new ww2 scenario's inside the WW2 directory. I think endsieg2 and ardennes2, Also if you make random games you can press the "M" button and select Real.ptmaster as alternate masterfile to use.
 
kind regards,
Vic

This is one of the best terrain mods I have seen for any wargame.

Great work. I actually think this terrain mod should be incorporated as official terrain, looks 1000 times better than the original.

Hopefully this mod gets supported/improved upon in the future as well.

I like the real terrain mod, it looks really good for some of the scenarios. But I also enjoy the original for other scen.

So please, leave the original. It's easy to change to the new when we want it.

Thanks.

Huh, what did you try to do ?? Please explain what you try to achieve if you want to get useful help ! [&:]

OK I down loaded the file into the bin file.  Then when I try to play the game I see the new scenarios in the bin file but when I try to play them it says error cannot find the file.  So I tried to move it into the original WWII file and it still gives me the error message that it cannot find the scenario.

Nick,

How do you get this to work in a PBEM game if both players dont have the mod installed?

I created a random game using the real terrain mod.  Took my turn, and sent to him and he had some missing .bmp errors or something.

Do both players need this mod for it to work properly in PBEM?

Yes, all players must have d/led all necessary external files, setup the same way (iesame dirs).

Juergen I don't understand much to what you did... The ok procedure is just to open the scenario ".pt2" file from where it is (Adv Tactics/bin/scenarios or wherever it is, just browse for it), the hit "edit scenario" ,and ..well, edit the scenario ... [:'(]

Hello.

Sorry for bring this post to the front a year after

I have installed the mod (excellent job) and when I try to play a random scenario I get a window with the next message:

Version Check

You are loading a saved file from a lower version ( 100) than the current version ( 110).

Any advice?

Thanks.

P.S. I have updated the game to the v1.20b

This shouldnt cause a problem. There is a way to get rid of the msg, but I don't recall it off the top of my head.

Well... it causes a problem... I can't select some options of the random scenario (like rebellions or seasons).

But thanks for the help!

Bye.
