New graphic mod, version 2

[Vic]

This is a mod of the generic.masterfile, not of the advanced.masterfile, which was released quite recently. Henced a few of those extra options are not in.

Kind regards,
Vic

Ok. I understand.
Thanks for the clarification.

And the strange window with the message? What it means?

Bye.

P.S: Merry Christmas for everybody!

OK, what and where is a master file, and can I install this graphics mod on a game I'm already playing. If so, how?
 
Looks great, by the way, which is why I'm keen to get it to work.[;)]

Ok - Registered and logged on to this site - where is this mod? I saw Buldog's mod in the scenario section but can't seem to find this one.

Here's a link to Nick's excellent mod:

I've updated the Bulldog mod to work with Nicks mod. Download Nick's and why not try mine as I think they both complement each other well I think:

Bulldog,

Thank you very much. I'm taking this one step at a time. I understand with realmod that after extracting to the Bin folder, I delete the generic.ptmaster and rename the realmod file to the same name. So far so good. Do I now delete this newly remaned file and rename your file to generic.ptmaster to complete the install?

Ok disregard I think - everything seems to be working. However, still being new to this game perhaps there are ways to tweak an already existing scenario? I'm starting out with the Ardennes2 scenario. Right off the bat graphically I have some gripes. These primarily center on two things: It's very hard to see roads in this winter terrain. Doubly hard to see is when I click move - I have to really stare at the screen to see the highlighted terrain that I can move to. As I said, I'm a total newb right now - can I alter this (and I'm not talking about going into the scenario editor - geez, I'm just trying to get the fundamentals down)?

Hi Bk, I can't really answer your query about the winter graphics, Nick would be the one for that unless you feel like trying your hand to some art.

It sounds like you've already successfully downloaded Nick's mod. My graphic mod only works for random maps, although you can use the graphics if you want to create your own scenario.. Just download it as normal, same as you did for Nick's mod and then follow the instructions on this link:

BULLDOG,

Fact is I downloaded both this past weekend and they both work fine. Being an old wargamer from way back I'm trying to like this game but it's not intuitive, plays weird with historical scenarios (production for an Ardennes battle?) and as I said, even with these good mods, winter terrain, roads, and movable hexes highlighting are just dismal.
