Below is exactly how I installed the map, textures and entries high-lited in red for yes and green for no. HSFX does not have an STD folder so the files folder appears in the root directory, which is where I found the .rc file and maps folder for the all.ini. I also took the time to install the cyberbolas Singapore repaint so I would make sure those textures would be added. I have opened it, but I haven't tried to save that map though.
Installation Instructions;
Install the folder sq_Coral-Sea_Solomon_Sea as follows;
MODS/MAPMODS/MAPS/sq_Coral-Sea_Solomon-Sea
YESInstall the folder "sq" as follows
MODS/MAPMODS/MAPS/_Tex/sq
YES If you don't have Bombsaways' Palau Map, install the folder "BA_Palau" as follows
MODS/MAPMODS/MAPS/_Tex/BA_Palau
YES***************************************************************************************************
Note - This map requires the "Singapore" textures by Cyberolas, from his reworking of
the Singapore Maps (this map topic is in pole position at the top of PTO maps at time of writing).
************************************************************************************************
Finally, add this entry to the all.ini file (inside the MAPS folder)
sq_Coral-Sea_Solomon-Sea sq_Coral-Sea_Solomon-Sea/load.ini
YES ****************************************************************************
******************* IMPORTANT ******************
This map has been tested in Modact 5.3, CUP (up to latest expansion Part 22), HSFX 7.03, BAT (up to v3.2 Angels High) and all
versions of 4.13 up to and including Modact 6.4. (My guess is that it will work in pre-4.12 versions, as long as the appropriate
supporting sfs files are there - see below)
If you are installing into a 4.12 version, you will need some files from 4.13 in order for the map to work properly.
The map requires some objects from the DT New Britain - New Guinea maps in 4.13, which are contained within 4.13 root directory sfs files -
If you look in the root folder of 4.13 you will see that there are some extra sfs files compared to 4.12 - namely fb_3do27.sfs and
fb_maps21.sfs -
You will therefore need the sfs files from 4.13 in order for the map to work properly.
This is very easy to do!
Just copy the following files from the main root directory of 4.13
fb_3do27.sfs
YESfb_maps21.sfs
YESThen paste them into your 4.12 root directory.
YES You must then ADD the following entries into your 4.12 .rc file to enable the sfs files to work -
The .rc file is inside root directory in the Files folder - Files/rc file
@sfs MOUNT fb_3do27.sfs
YES@sfs MOUNT fb_maps21.sfs
YESOpen the .rc file by double-clicking then scroll down to the maps and 3do sections - put the above entries at the bottom of each
section - they follow on numerically so it's obvious where they go
YES After this the map should work perfectly! - and you will have the added bonus of also having the new DT maps; New Britain New
Guinea and some Eastern European Maps (just copy the all.ini entries from the 4.13 maps folder for these extra maps to appear
in your FMB lists)
Actually to make it easier - here are the all.ini entries for NGNB maps (sorry, I don't know what the other maps are - I think
they may be Yugoslavia?? Try looking on the 4.13 update thread))
New-Britain_New-Guinea_Mar-43_DT NGNB_DT/NGNB_3-43.ini
YESNew-Britain_New-Guinea_Sept-43_DT NGNB_DT/NGNB_9-43.ini
YESNew-Britain_New-Guinea_Jan-44_DT NGNB_DT/NGNB_1-44.ini
YESNew-Britain_New-Guinea_June-44_DT NGNB_DT/NGNB_6-44.ini
YESIf missions do not save, you probably have missing objects - get them at post #86 and #87 in the Eastern-Java Borneo thread on the
