About This File
Fly in a snowy, or spring, or fall Vogesen terrain!!!
Contained in this download are 5 folders (plus stock Vogesen FRRhine tiles) containing "seasonal" Rhine River tiles to round out Gepard's excellent Vogesen Terrain. Vogesen.ini already points to the Cambrai terrain folder, so it is simple ini edit as outlined below. Provided are the modded seasonal Rhine River tiles, but if you want to use these Rhine tiles, then you must download other 3rd party tile sets for FE as below, and/or modify stock ..\Terrain\Cambrai\.. 3rd Wire folders as mentioned:
"Deep Snow" season (Thanks to Max188 for Verdun winter tiles)
"Snow" (Thanks to Edward for Verdun winter tiles, which I slightly modded for "Replacement Cambrai Snow Tiles" download)
"Spring" (Thanks to flyguy2 for Verdun spring)
"Summer" (rename 3rd Wire's "Spring" Folder to "Summer")
"Fall" (is stock 3rdWire, leave folder alone, many thanks to TK!)
If you choose to be conservative, use only the stock seasonal folders in the Cambrai Terrain (though these Rhine winter tiles are not compatible with 3rd Wire Snow tiles at all). Mix and match, or for more variety download all the seasonal tilesets mentioned above, then make/rename seasonal folders within the Cambrai Terrain folder as listed above, add the 3rd party tile sets, as well as the appropriate FRRhine tiles in THIS download to the appropriate season, and then edit the Vogesen.ini as below.
Follow these Combat Ace links for additional instructions for making/editing seasonal tile sets [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=33064]
and if you choose tile set consolidation [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=35074]. PM me at CA if any problems.
BACK UP ANY FOLDERS or INI's BEFORE YOU MOD...
Example TERRAIN.ini edit follows, only replace the portions involving code from [season001] to [season005] or whatever you choose to do.
The dates the 5 seasonal tile sets will show up are changed to discrete months for play testing in single mission; if you reduce the number of seasons, make sure the dates add up, ie: alter the seasonal start-end dates to suit your preference...
