Ok its in and working but i have a question about where you mentioned the HSFX eye candy, if i import those files does that give acess to the naps in hsfx, or do i need to update the maps folder etc?
The map files required are inside the SFS archives, however you have to introduce them to the game by adding the regarding map to the file
#SAS/MAPMODS/MAPS/all.ini
You can find the HSFX map lines for that file in your HSFX game folder, then look for the file
Files/maps/all.ini
For the maps you want, after copying the SFS files to Modact 6 you have to copy the regarding map line(s) from that file to Modact's all.ini file, then you can try whether or not the map works.
Also ive noticed i now have an additional new britain map, it has (sep 43) then below it there is the (september 43 ) map, sep 43 will not load, september 43 does.
Yep, thanks to TD again!
The reason is that
before 4.13.1 there was the maps
New-Britain_New-Guinea_Sept-43
New-Britain_New-Guinea_June-44
whereas with 4.13.1 TD introduced
New-Britain_New-Guinea_Mar-43_DT
New-Britain_New-Guinea_Sept-43_DT
New-Britain_New-Guinea_Jan-44_DT
New-Britain_New-Guinea_June-44_DT
Now one could say: "Great, they added two more New Guinea maps, what's the problem?".
The problem is that TD just cannot (or deliberately doesn't want to) create anything new without breaking all existing content.
In this particular case, the path for the map files changed as did their internal name (see the _DT) attached above.
Old map path was:
NGNB/NGNB_9-43.ini
NGNB/NGNB_6-44.ini
new is:
NGNB_DT/NGNB_3-43.ini
NGNB_DT/NGNB_9-43.ini
NGNB_DT/NGNB_1-44.ini
NGNB_DT/NGNB_6-44.ini
It becomes apparent that existing missions and campaigns for the "old" maps won't work anymore since their map declaration is missing in the new 4.13.1 "all.ini" file, so I
thought I could cure it by simple re-introducing the "old" maps in parallel to the "new" ones, they don't share any files after all, so that should be no big deal.
However TD, in their constant attempt to fuck up anything they left behind, deliberately also changed files in the "old" maps path, in a way that they won't load anymore.
Trying to load the "old" maps now results in an error like this:
section [MAP2D] not found in 'maps/NGNB/NGNB_9-43.ini
Thank you very much TD, fucked up existing content once more for absolutely no reason.
