4.11.1 Map Making
« on: February 27, 2013, 09:24:17 PM »

Hi guys, i was looking around for something like this, but i didn't find anything, so here it goes.
I have an SAS Modact 4 Install on 4.11.1, and i SUCCESSFULLY installed SAS~Farang's Map making Confi.ini and Builders.ini with no issues, and confirmed that it does indeed work, in fact i am making a map to hopefully release sometime. Just wanted to make it known that it does work in the new version with no problems whatsoever.  ;) ;D :D

Nice

Guant

Keep two versions

One for flying and one for map making

You might want to consider this download for all the objects

It's all the objects by UP~Boomer from UP3


I'm still in 4.10

Thanks ;)  Ill have to look at the objects pack, as i am still learning and don't want to add to much into the mix too soon, ive just had an idea im trying to hash out, but as soon as im comfortable ill definatly be adding in the objects pack. and i made sure to keep a copy of my original .ini's so i can go back and make missions on the maps i make, as well as flying around.

If you get stuck on anything don't hesitate to ask

There is alot of experience here at the SAS  ;)

If you have any Microdem questions feel free

I've always got my hands in Microdem   :D

If you edit a map it is saved outside of your MODS folder. Only the files which have changed will be saved.

Example:  If you are editing the map Singapore, you will have all the map files you are working on in root\MODS\MapMods\Maps\Singapore

To save you must create a folder root\Maps\Singapore

You will find the saved files in this folder. Copy them back to the root\MODS\MapMods\Maps\Singapore folder.

I have only one game installation both for normal use and map modding.
I use jsgme to move the special versions of conf.ini and builders.ini in and out of the installation.
Its an arrangement that has worked very well for me.

so, since i have modact and i am editing Okinawa i need the folders like this?

Root/Maps/Okinawa

and then move the saved files to

#SAS/Mapmods/Maps/Okinawa

if this is not right let me know, and no, i dont have microdem yet, im just fiddleing around with the map right now to learn the system

IMHO,you should be able to figure it out reading this thread
http://ultrapack.tuttovola.org/index.php/topic,1977.0.html

why are you not able to download a Pdf tutorial ?
how do you ever download any mods
