SF/WO* Maps/Terrain Mods

Upgrade/Update for American NorthWest Series of Terrains
 
The original America Northwest Terrains; AmerianNW, AmericanNWinter and AmericaNWSpring, were released sometime back in 2003. They are exceedling FUN maps to fly on, as they are full of deep canyons and high mountain ranges.
This is mostly a 'fix' of the targets, types, and movements inis. I've peaked and tweeked the targets to add more things for everyone to blow up. I've added the Factory Place, Truck Depot, HQ centers, and 2 country flag to wave in the breeze, one for country 'Orange' (now called the Global Sedition), and 'The Alliance'. The HQ centers have vehicles parked at them, the layout for which was borrowed from Major Lee's DBS - I figured these are all his terrains, so using it would be a pretty cool touch.
 
The movements ini has been expanded to more Armed Recon missions, with additional truck routes for both sides. I added an oil field to the Alliance side, to give the Sedition forces something extra to bomb, and Alliance forces something to protect. I figure the story line would be "short on resources, the Global Sedititon is trying to capture the Salmon River Oil fields for their own"
 
With thanks to Major Lee for permission to modify and share
 
Please!!! read the enclosed readme for more information and full installation instructions -- with a little renamed, this upgrade can be used on all of the ANW terrains - and it's explained "how to"

Solomons Islands Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods
 
The first of several...
 
This mod is a relatively small upgrade to Edward's WW2 Solomons Islands terrain. What I've done is add several new targets and target areas, and replaced several airfields with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. You'll be getting new targets and types inis, along with a host of goodies to drop into the terrain's folder.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to the terrain's main ini. As the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. All necessary items are included, so there should be no worries here.
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- make sure you have the barges, the Liberty ship, and all warships, both Allied and Japanese. Don't forget to check Geo's page for more WW2 goodies ... there's a lot of stuff that's usable here as well.
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed (in this terrain ONLY) CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the SoWesPac! It is NOT included in this package. Edward's "Pacific Terrains.txt" readme is also included.
 
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
== MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! =
 
If you follow the instructions below, you should have no (or minimal) problems...just remember - BACKUP your originals!
And follow the fairly simple instructions in the enclosed readme.
Of course, the general notes sections might be interesting to read; a full listing of credits, and my very public Thank You to Edward for creating the PTO terrains in the first place!!!
 
Sorry, folks, no screenie. You all should know what SoWesPac looked like by now!!
 
Happy Hunting!

New Guinea 2 Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods
 
This mod is a relatively large upgrade to Edward's WW2 New Guinea 2 (the full sized version) terrain. What I've done is add several new targets and target areas, and replaced several airfields with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. You'll also have a new "Runway7", which is a partly-paved version of Airfield6, thereby creating a NEW airfield. The 'new' target areas are enhancements of already existing ones -- I've just added some more things there to make it look a little more populated. There are a couple of new parked planes, based of existing ones, hex-edited and reskinned for their proper users.
 
This is a very 'target rich' environment -- there are plenty of items for strike and anti-shipping missions. It is also fairly well defended - so watch out for the flak.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. (see the CombatAce Knowledge Base for the tutorial on using the cat pointer line)
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, infantry, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- make sure you have the barges (get both, they're needed in the GO folder), the Liberty ship, and all warships, both Allied and Japanese. Don't forget to check Geo's page for more WW2 goodies ... there's a lot of stuff that's usable (and used!) here as well.
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed (in this terrain ONLY) CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the SoWesPac! Along those linse, I've pulled and repainted several skins for some of the stock buildings as well. You'll see them as you play.
 
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
== MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! =
 
Remember: this is for the LATEST version, "New Guinea2", not the earlier version.
 
Follow the instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. There are a few new Ground Objects, and reskins of existing. It is also suggested to read my "Other Notes" section for other comments, explinations, and general info.
 
Happy Hunting!!

Okinawa Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods
 
This mod is a relatively large upgrade to Edward's WW2 Okinawa terrain. What I've done is add several new targets and target areas, and replaced several airfields with a newly repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. You'll also have a new "Runway7", which is a partly-paved version of Airfield6, thereby creating a NEW airfield.

It should be noted, that the main, original Okinawa terrain is NOT here at CombatAce, but is available at AvSim. I'm working on trying to get permission to upload the original here.
 
Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems.
In other words, read the enclosed 'readme.txt'. Also, I'd suggest a perusal of the General Notes and Comments section, too.
 
Happy Hunting!

American SouthWest Update....
 
This little package will update the ASW terrain by adding several more usable airports for both sides. Randolph, Kelly, Harlingin have been added to the NAA side; Nuevo Laredo, McAllen and Rio Grande for the GS side.
 
Included is a new TFD, HFD, targets and types ini, along with a new sign. New planning maps have also been included.
All other parts from my original upload are re-used.
 
See the enclosed readme for super easy install instructions (for once!)

Southern California Terrain (Rebuilt) for SF, WoE & WoV
 
This semi-fictional terrain represents the Southern California region, along with parts of Nevada, Northern California, Arizona, Baja Mexico and various and sundry parts in between. I use the term 'semi-fictional', as for the most part, the cities and airfields are relatively close to their real life locations, but some fictional target areas have been added for playability. As close as I can, I've tried to match the actual positions of cities, air bases, etc, and used their actual names. Considering that I live in Los Angeles, and have been to a LOT of the places depicted....well, you get the idea. This is a very heavily populated map, a heavily defended map, with all kinds of eye candy, plus LOTS of "Easter Eggs". A repainted version of airfield 3 (the dirt strip) is also included; ala Fubar's version, it's been paved over.
 
I've designed this to be used in the alternative world of the "Global Sedition" vs the "North American Alliance". It is, however, usable in any era from 1940-2040, with minor changes in the targets and types inis.
 
It is based on USAFMTL's SCal map from his Top Gun mod from several long years ago.
 
This package contain just about everything you'll need, from new inis, HFD & TFD, tiles (used by the kind permission of Deuces), LOTS of new fixed terrain objects (destroyed buildings of all flavors)
 
It has been -almost- completly rebuilt, with the creation of briefing, movement, a completely NEW targets and types ins, and upgrading the data ini to the latest standards. Water effects are active, so Vista users take note...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users".
 
It is reccomended (read: REQUIRED) that you have Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak installed in your GroundObject folder; either or both the Desert or Euro skinned vehicles, plus any additional vehicles such as Kesselbrut's ZIL truck pak, Infantry paks, Moonjumper's fix for the BM-14-16 (adds working Kytusha rockets) and any other SAMS or AAA, vehicles or whatever strikes your fancy. With such an 'open ended' time frame for use, any and all GroundObjects should be available for use. This includes ships as well. See the "Notes" section for more info.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoE and WoV. It should work in WoI with the correct cat pointer -- this has NOT been tested or supported.
 
READ the enclosed readme for fully detailed, step by step install instructions. A large notes sections is supplied for Vista users on the graphics issues, instructions on which cat pointer to use; installation of the included items, which additional, non-supplied item you'll need; plus general and sundry comments by me. A full listing of credits is also included thanking all.
 
Happy Hunting!

(the screenie above shows the Palos Verdes Pennisula, with Catalina in the background)
PS: as I said above, there are several MAJOR easter eggs...please post a screenshot if can find them.

This is my second attempt in giving default map a better, rich-environment look.
 
This mod adds thousands of trees and bushes in the open farmlands, new, dense jungle in the mountains, little vietnamese huts (ok, not really), paddy-fields, ruins, temples, buffalos and so on.
 
I focused my work on variety of trees and bushes, not the buildings. City set WILL be released later.
 
________________________________________________________________________________
YOU NEED Brain32's high resolution VietnamSEA repaint for this to work properly!

This terrain mod for Wings Over Israel changes the color of the mountains so they are not such a reddish hue. The WOI terrain is otherwise excellent, but the mountain color just seemed a bit off to me.

Forests and farms modification for Wings Over Europe
 
Version 1.01
-quick fix to repair wrong texture entry no. 102 in germanyce_data.ini
(missing texture bug)
 
This is a set of new bitmaps and .TOD files for Germany map in Wings over Europe.
It's aim is to create new, realistic looking ground environment, still maintaining acceptable framerate.
Adds lot of trees in woodland areas, some new farm buildings in farmlands, powerlines along the roads, and other little features on the ground.

American SouthWest Terrain for SF, WoE & WoV
 
This semi-fictional terrain represents Southern Texas and part of Northeastern Mexico (Tampilas/Monterrey) region, along with part of the western Gulf of Mexico. I use the term 'semi-fictional', as for the most part, the cities and airfields are relatively close to their real life locations, but some fictional target areas have been added for playability. I've designed this to be used in the alternative world of the "Global Sedition" vs the "North American Alliance"; it is, however, usable in any era from 1940-2040, with minor changes in the targets and types inis. The terrain could use some more work, but I'm releasing it "as is", as there's pretty much not more I can do with it.
 
This terrain is a rebuild of a partly completed build found via a discussion at SimHQ. It should also be noted at this time, =I DID NOT BUILD THE TERRAIN!!= I'm only completing someone elses work...and couldn't have done it without the assistance of some superb people. The original readme is included. So the =ONLY= credit I can and will take, is for simply finishing the job.
 
This package ONLY includes the necessary inis, HFD, TFD and a few add-on objects that are needed for the necessary eye-candy. 3 Planning Maps are included, for the varying zooms, but they are very basic and won't show the cities and 'other' target areas. NO terrain tiles are included (see Notes below for reccomendations)
 
It has been -almost- completly rebuilt, the creation of briefing, movement, a completely NEW targets ini, and upgrading the data ini to the latest standards (ie: one that works). Water effects are active, so Vista users take note...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users".
 
It is set up to use the SF desert tiles. You WoE and WoV users WILL have to get a suitable 'alternative' set of tiles; See the NOTES section below for more information, and my reccomendations for tile sets.
 
It is reccomended (read: REQUIRED) that you have Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak installed in your GroundObject folder; either or both the Desert or Euro skinned vehicles, plus any additional vehicles such as Kesselbrut's ZIL truck pak, Infantry paks, Moonjumper's fix for the BM-14-16 (adds working Kytusha rockets) and any other SAMS or AAA, vehicles or whatever strikes your fancy. With such an 'open ended' time frame for use, any and all GroundObjects should be available for use.
 
PLEASE!!! Read the enclosed 'asw_readme.txt' for full, detailed step-by-step install instructions. Also, the "Notes" section which has further detailed information pertaining to tile sets and Vista users. EVERYTHING you need to know is in there..I wrote it so you'd have as little problems as possible

Satellite with towns Planning map 2 for the Wings over Europe Terrain.

This terrain set is based on the Wings Over Europe default terrain tiles. It maintains the layout of the original terrain, and leverages many of the base textures. However, the overall color scheme, graininess, and shading of the original has been improved, along with many tweaks here and there. In addition, the tiles have been converted to 512x512 tiles, which improves some of the jagged edges and allows for some additional detail.

Falklands (Malvinas) Terrain by Major Lee
Tiles by Diego and Polak
Released with permission from Diego and Maj Lee
 
I think this terrain looks like the Falklands did in the war. It is/was WIP. You can add carriers and ships to it easily. It does need more targets etc but its a good furball terrain so enjoy.

Readme for combining Gepard's 8 New Airfields and JSF_Aggie's Highway Airfields mods.
 
These files are simply replacements for your GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files.
 
What you will need first:
 
Wings Over Europe with the GermanyCE terrain (Duh!)
 
Gepard's 8 New Airbases for WOE:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=5078
 
JSF_Aggie's Highway Airfield Mod:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2950
 
Instructions:
 
1. Backup your GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files first (if they have been extracted)!
2. Install both mods...don't worry about overwrites, we'll be fixing those later.
3. Copy the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files from this archive into the "WOE"/Terrain/GermanyCE directory. Allow the overwrites.
4. That's it!
 
As a bonus, I've included several areas you can use to base carriers out of.
 
These files should work with other mods of the WOE terrain (Deuces or JSF_Aggie's tree mods, etc).
 
However, they will erase any mods that have already altered the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI and GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI files.
 
Enjoy your new airfields. Big thanks to Gepard and JSF_Aggie for giving me permission to combine their airfield inis...all the work was theirs, I just wanted them both at the same time!

I thought that I'd share with you my WOV Planning Map. I've been using it for mission design. It shows the whole of Southern Vietnam, up to and including the Dong Hoi airbase just North of the DMZ.
 
Each grid is shown, as used in-game to determine an object's position, within the map's range from X=410000 to 850000, and Y=090000 to 580000). I've re-coloured parts of the map to make them easier to see the grid lines and airbases when you print it out - either colour or gray-scale. Test so far show that it comes out neatly on a single side of A4 or Letter-sized paper.
 
This map is a .jpg file so it's not huge in terms of file size (only ~160k). If people want the .bmp or even the .ppt I used to construct it then please get in touch, as these are much larger files. Thanks.
 
Regards, comrpnt.

This is a complete higher resolution(512x512) VietnamSEA tileset repaint with added trees.
ReadMe and Installation instructions are included in the file archive.

Alternative City tiles for Snipe's New Summer Euro WW2 tiles for Edward & Charles' "War over Europe" terrain
 
To Install, drop in your new Summer Euro WW2 terrain folder and overwrite the existing tiles.
 
These blend in a lot more than the original set.
 
Enjoy
 
--Snipe

This is a replacement set of tiles and INI files to bring Edward & Charles' EAW-derived "War over Europe" WW2 Euro terrain up to the latest patch standards (3-D clouds, animated water and terrain noisemap). Included is Polak's water noisemap from his DesertPR tiles and the correct FX files to get the animated water etc. Also included is a modified Environmentalsys INI based on that from Nato Fighters for WoE.
 
Thanks Polak, Column 5 & TK.
 
My tiles are largely based on Edward's FE Flanders Terrain tiles (themselves partly derived from modified Flight Simulator 2004 tiles & Thirdwire tiles), with elements of tiles from Thirdwire's/Deuces enhanced WoE tileset and Paul Wilson's (?) Summer EAW tiles.
 
Thanks Edward, Deuce & Paul.
 
The tiles will also work with the EAW Euro Cold war terrain available at Combat Ace.
 
Enjoy!

INTRO:
This is set of Terrain HiRez 512x512 textures for Desert Terrains for SF:P1 game freeware only.
 
INSTALLATION:
Just copy all to Desert Terrain in your SF:P1 folder.
 
NOTES:
 
In order to see newly made water effects put the Textures, Effects, Densities and Resolutions to High (specially Water Quality). If you find it choppy then lower all settings gradually
until satisfied. Avoid Medium Water Quality as it produce not too
appealing look.
 
Thanks for all who made this Project possible, especially Gepard for providing inspiration by producing his outstanding Israel2 terrain. Also thanks to Deuces who helped as usual with TEROBJECT_BUILDINGS. This version of Tiles has no TODs with trees as those will follow in later revision.
 
Enjoy!
