(WIP_MOD_BETA)ag_Kt_Karelia 1.1 (for DBW 1.6 )10.1
« on: January 08, 2012, 10:15:04 AM »

Karelia 1.1
Hey guys!
Here is the latest beta version of Ag_Kt_Karelia map (1.1)

It has been under werks for several months now.
It is designed for DBW 1.6 modpack or later.

It may or may not work with other modpacks and modded versions of individual installs of IL2 Sturmovik.

A Finnish virtual pilot, Jarmo Happonen wanted to add 
historically correct airfields and some new villages and roads

He did have acces to Finnish war arcives and also did get
help from aviation museum in Finland.
(Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo).
http://www.airforcemuseum.fi/
Now all the airfields are located in right places and
look almost like they were.
What a job he did!

He also edit the names and corrected them. He did use finnished versions of russian towns and villages.
Easier to read than cyrillic....

Agracier did add even more villages and farms
and he did also make new method to make myriads of small
islands and ponds.
 I did add Town of Kotka (very basic) and edited textures a bit.
I also make edit map_h a bit.

I had to say that now our map looks like Finland and Karelia.

Installing:
This is a manual install and needs a basic knowledge of how to install mapmods to DBW 1.6 modpack!!!
Please help for forums, if you are new with modding!!!!
Easiest way is to install DBW 1.6 modpack first.

Download here:
https://www.mediafire.com/?ahdgyvygj1hujjj
This is a huge install and replaces the default ag_Kt_map.
Rarfile contains
Ag_Kt_Karelia 1.1 essential mapfiels
and all the textures


1.Extract packed files to temporary folder.
2. Put (copy/paste) ag_kt_Karelia folder to
 ... /#DBW (#UP)/MapMods/Maps folder

3. put  texturefolders
to
 ... /#DBW (#UP)/MapMods/Maps/_Tex/ag folder.

That's it. This install will prevent the  the default DBW 1.6 Karelia 1.0 to work.
If you want to use old Kareliamap 1.0 with old airfields,
just put - in front of ag_Kt_Karelia folder

For HSFX and other modpacks without Karelia version 1.0:
Add all.ini texts:

ag_kt_Karelia                    ag_kt_Karelia/load.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winter         ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_autumn       ag_kt_Karelia/load_autumn.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_winter_ice   ag_kt_Karelia/load_winter_ice.ini
DBW and UP users only:


If you want to use Karelia as a new map add and still have old at same install. Copy/paste ag_Kt_Karelia folder and rename it to ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect
And then add these lines to all.ini txt file:
ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect                   ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect/load.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect_winter        ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect/load_winter.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect_autumn      ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect/load_autumn.ini
ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect_winter_ice  ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect/load_winter_ice.ini



This map works with every install that has previous version of our Karelia map. I have used DBW 1.6 and UP3 plus older UP version(heavily modded) for testing!


Known bugs:
Not all the airfields are tested with heavy bombers and maximum amount of planes.
No working bridges, But hey. Il2 vehicles can drive thru rivers
Objects in water. Some missmatches with heights.Forest on water
EXTRA:
There is a finnish written PDF booklet included in mapfolder (KARELIA 1941-1944).
It has pictures of all the new airfields.

Happy flying!
Kapteeni
( sorry about typo's (notepad aint the best) :P and finnished-english)
EXTRA FILES:
Here is a file that might help some users:
It goes to (extract to temporary place and copy/paste Trees folder)
... /#DBW (#UP)/MapMods/Maps/_Tex/ag folder.
https://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dtb85mmm3c4dvmo
It has all the Trees that Agracier have used
New Megapack of textures:

Are you sure these are the correct lines for the all.ini? I get "missing map2D" which denoted a mistake in the all.ini...

Are you using it as a new map?
Or does it not replace the old map..?
those lines works for me.
BTW. You can rename and make new lines for all.ini
kap
EDIT: They are working. At least for me....
AGAIN:  i checked the files everything is included....
Check your spelling again....

I disabled the previous version, removed the old all.ini lines and copy-pasted yours, pointing to the new map folder (map and tex folders all stored apropriately)...

I tried with Leperemagloire's lines (this is what I had in mind) but no success.
This is what the log file says:
 [20:52:41]   section [MAP2D] not found in 'maps/ag_kt_Karelia_Perfect/load.ini
