SF2V's Terrain Problem

[HuuTungNguyen 1]

Hello everyone, sorry my bad English and i dont know this is right box to write this topic or not. 

I dont know how to start, so i will talk about my problem. I install my SF2 and i like it, I install merged SF2, so it included SF2, SF2V, SF2E, SF2I. And I download Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam Air and Ground Expansion Pack and install to my folder Mod of SF2V, its so perfect. But i have some problem with the Terrain North Vietnam. It lost some ground square like this:

 

 

And It happen with terrain South Vietnam, too:

 

Can anyone tell me how to fix that error, please? Sorry my little English :(

Antivirus ?

 

Check if your antivirus does not "quarantine" a specific file, this is known to happen.

 

Or

reload the terrain , in case a tile is corrupted in your download

Reload the terrain? How can i do?

Sorry, I thought you had downloaded eburger's excellent extension for SF2V :

OK, it appears that the air and ground pack may use a different tile set, which is causing your issue.  It may be calling out terrain tiles that do not exist in the default VietnamSEA terrain. You have several options.  The one that I recommend, is to use the "Green Hell 3.5" terrain tiles by Stary:  http://combatace.com/files/file/14268-green-hell-35/

 

Be careful though, there are two tile sizes used, 1024 and 512.  The 1024-sized tiles require a powerful computer to run well.

I installed Green Hell 3.0 but nothing changed. When I installed single SF2V, it is normal and i can play very well, but i uninstall it and install merged SF2, it happen, i dont know why. I will try use Green Hell 3.5

IIRC, it's because the eburger's expansion pak should probably be run in a SEPERATE SF2V mods folder, not the standard or garden variety. (meaing: create a 'theatre/era specific' version)

 

Odd, too, that the blank tiles are white. In SF2,  the spaces for missing textures are always black

OMG, after I download and install GH 3.5. It works, It works. Thank my friends, it is totally prefect again, i am so happy :x

Folks:

 

There's just one little problem here: the latest screenshot posted by the OP -- presumably taken after installing Green Hell 3.5 -- doesn't show Green Hell v.3.5. It shows the stock terrain.

 

Fubar512 is correct: the SF2V Expansion Pack is using a custom tile set -- that from Green Hell 2.0. It appears that the OP installed the DATA.INI file from the Sf2V Expansion Pack, which references a number of tiles in addition to the stock tiles (which are re-used in custom form by GH 2.0), but somehow didn't install the GH 2.0 tiles in the correct location. Thus, the white patches where the missing tiles should have been. His original set of screenshots show the default VietnamSEA tile set, not the GH 2.0 tile set.

 

Even after supposedly installing GH 3.5, the proper tiles still aren't showing -- if that last screenshot from the OP was indeed taken after an attempt at installing GH 3.5.

 

As I'm not sitting in front of the OP's PC, I can't determine exactly what was done or what was installed, but it certainly looks to be like the OP is not installing terrains correctly.
