Not sure what graphic update you're talking about FB [&:] The graphics were updated with the release of TOAW III last year but this patch didn't bring anything new graphic-wise afaik, except the artillery ranges.

Here's the graphics mode I'm using. I've had it for about 18 months now and like it more than another graphics set. It's got a blue anchor for ports, a red airplane for airports, crosshatched railroads, dashed red lines for broken rails and more. If you're not a member of gamesquad and can't download it from here:

then just send me an email and I'll send it to you via email reply. larryfulkerson2002 (at) yahoo ( dot ) com

enjoy.

Is that from the FTP sire or the member's area link? Someone said that going through the member's area is faster.

Not to be too uber newb... I am just about to buy the game and I downloaded larry's Mod, how do I go about using it? Do I put it into a mod folder and then activate it in game, or do I overwrite the old stuff?

BTW, freeboy, I just dl'ed the patch and it worked fine. I did it from the normal download page from the game's main page. Do I need to apply .17 first?

Well...the first step is to go ahead and buy it...[;)]

Of course, if you've already bought it, and there is some miscommunication above, then a hearty "Thanks" is in order.

After that tedious stuff like buying and installing it is all said and done, then you would put the files that are in the mod, into your Graphics folder, overwriting the old stuff. You may want to make a backup copy of the Graphics folder beefore you do that though.

No. All TOAW III patches are cumulative, and contain all material released in the older patches. That way, you only ever have to worry about having the most recent patch, and not about what convoluted order they may need to be applied in.

Best regards, and enjoy your game!

All the files in the "Graphics mod.zip" file are those files I copied into a zip file FROM MY "altgraphics" folder. So I'm assuming that one only needs drop all those mod files into the "altgraphics" folder. No change to the Graphics folder need be made is my understanding.

Larry's correct on this. I keep forgetting about that, since I'm such an old stick in the mud, and prefer unmodded graphics. The altgraphics folder is searched first, so any of the graphics files in there will override those in the regular Graphics folder. Gives you an easy way to mix and match, if you are so inclined.

Ok, I'm a nice guy. I like what you guys have done for the game, and I like the crop circles...but, couldn't they have been drawn like hezes, instead of circles?

It's just my opinion, but that would seem to be a little clearer...

AHA! The editor worked, first try!!

One question. After I had editted and exported my eqp file, I then loaded up my scenario in the editor and it said 'your are using the wrong .eqp file'. I pressed ok and then it continued to load up, showing my editted database...should that happen?

Yes, but turn off the hex grid and add in escarpments, etc. and it gets muddier. I thought the hex version would be more accurate, but look at lot more 'gamey'.

Thanks for the picture, BTW. I didn't notice that the circle was off-center. I'll fix that for the next patch.

Ralph,
RE Error message: Thanks for the elxplination, mate.
RE Crop Hexes: Makes sense.
RE Off-centre: Yeah, I uh...actually didn't really spot that...[8D] SO, good catch.
