Check out Rofl's new June 1944 map

[Petrus58]

If anyone hasn't yet seen it, I would strongly urge you to check out Rofl's June 1944 map and scenario. The scenario is different and great fun, but the map is breathtaking. Thanks Rofl!

[Sneaksie]

Could you provide a download link?

[Petrus58]

Sorry, you can fnd it at CMMODS

[Gnasher]

Hmmmm, downloaded & when I load mission I get a CTD! :confused:

Had a look at the map though in the editor & it looks very nice. Couple of suggestions (Without meaning to nitpick ):-

Make yellow fields into wheat by applying render type brush "Grass Culture 1" to them.

Widen road to 8-9M they look alot better that way.

Also I notice that the farmaintex & maintex don't line up 100% ( I can't critise this my maps are much worse!). I've found that increasing the terrain on the edges does wonders in hiding this in game. :cool:

Gnasher,

I also got a CTD when I first tried to play it. Found out that this was caused by a stupid Vista access problem!

[redbear]

I couldn't download the mission it have ridiculos download speeds.

[crazyman56]

I get a CTD too. Anyone know why?

[Petrus58]

Crazyman,

Dont know if your problem is the same as mine, but when I first tried to extract the files to the TOW directory, I was denied access. I transfered them manually, but got the CTD when loading the scenario. I then changed the access to full via properties - security, and it worked! Hope this helps.

[crazyman56]

Which place should i chnage the access? I extracted the files onto my desktop then copyed them into the map and single mission respectivily.

Thanks for trying to help as well

[Petrus58]

Crazyman,

Hope I remembered this right, but I'm fairly certain I right clicked on TOW folder, then selected properties, then security tab, then advanced button. From there I changed user (via edit button) to full control.

[crazyman56]

Ahh i think i know why i dont know what your on about. You have vista i have xp O well

[Gnasher]

Tried a quick battle & also got CTD but after 15mins which doesn't necessarily mean the map is a fault. I have a reasonable system (2 x dual core 3GHz Xeon 4GB RAM) so I'm not sure it's resource related.

What do you think Sneaksie?

[rofl]

Sorry for those wich cant run the map.

Trees and statics was very far over the recommended limits but i never had a gamecrash in all my tests, same for my neighbor wich use exact the same hardware like me.

Maybe some hardwareconfigurations can run it and some not, however .

@Petrus58:

glad you like it, thanks for comment
