Here is an interesting little trick you can do with this map. I would be interested to see if it works for other people too. First you must have Czech Texan's Caucasus map installed as well. Take the lines below, put them in a notepad file and name it 'load_w.ini' then pop it in your Donbass folder in Mapmods. Add the following to your all.ini file and you should have a winter version of the East Ukraine map: Donbass-winter Donbass/load_w.ini

I did this in 4.09 but both maps seem to work in 4.10 so I don't see why the trick shouldn't work in 4.10 too. All hail Oknevas and Czech Texan who did all the hard work to bring us these maps !

Thanks!

I'll try!

[Airbourne]

I have realised that my trick will give you a map that is green in the distance. You need a winter F map to add to it. Look in any modded winter map and you will find the file map_F.tga. Put it in your Donbass file. But you must change its name to Wmap_F.tga or it will interfere with the summer map. This means you must change the line above : Far map = Map_F.tga to Far map = WMap_F.tga.

[Mixx]

This is all interesting ....
But how do you replace painted textures for winter airfields, towns, villages and agricultural fields for the winter version of the map?

Please be patient....

I'll tell you more- WINTER and SUMMER a new version of the map Donbass already exists from August 2011
Oknevas - author  of this map  now finish the small details. Just a very large scale map- a lot of work for the author.

Moreover, the new version use the default objects. That is map will run in any of the options Mods  without any problems.
I think there is a versions for the powerful and the weak computers ..

[Knochenlutscher]

  For my part I'm patient like my cat, however it takes the author, he should be fine doing so. No hurry.
I haven't explored most of the Donbass Map.
Thanks to the Author for keeping it up

[Airbourne]

The new load.ini that I have given in my post in effect overwrites the Donbass map with the textures from Caucasus winter: that's how you get the winter fields etc.. However, I am delighted to hear that Oknevas is doing the real thing which will undoubtedly be far better.

[Mixx]

I will manifest myself to myself a big fan of modifying maps.
Textures maps for the Caucasus are an interesting alternative.
In any case, this is an interesting move

But let's see what we offer by map.

[Mixx]

Unfortunately Oknevas now ill-pneumonia.
But the process continues for the winter version.
Of course there are problems with the fact that many objects in the winter there is no color options. However, this is still done using parts of textures.
Here, working screenshots.

Hate to hear of the illness!!!!
Get well, Oknevas.  We need your talent!

[CzechTexan]

I hope Oknevas is doing well too.  He's a great asset to this Mod community.
The new summer and winter maps are eagerly anticipated.  It'll be interesting to see how it all looks in the end.

[SAS~Tom2]

Get well Oknevas and have a  healthy recovery.
Just downloaded this great map.

My best wishes to Oknevas.
