TOW_Deelen_day.zip

[rcafmad]

I want to install the this zip in my ETO Expansion Theatre but the writeup has me puzzled?

In all other downloadeds for for ETO the write ups have you set up in ERA1 but this writeup has

you in ERA3?

Basically I want to know if this is correct,so I donot mess up?

Sounds like you need to install the missions into the Era three folders. You can either do this by going into Era 3 (and then installing into the specified Missions sub-folder), or simply by looking for the 1943 era mission folder and sticking the missions into the correct sub-folder.

TOW Deelen day was specifically made for Era 3 gsl. It could be added to others but again one has to work with the era gsl.

There are several : <ACC_ALG-Bomber_airbase> <Cutscene FileName="b_pregame_2.xml"/>
</ACC_ALG-Bomber_airbase> entries in the cutscenes.xml do you add the contents of deelen_cutscenes.xml afther each of them ?

 

[mongoose]

I never put Deelen in the cutscenes xml but try using the same format as your example. Save the original first!

@ Mongoose

This is an extract from the readne.txt
INSTALLATION into ETO.


1.
Make sure you are in era 3!
2.
Copy/move the 4 folders into your install and say "yes" if asked to replace any files.
3.
Copy and paste the contents of deelen_cutscenes.xml into your cutscenes.xml file. I put un immediately after the entry
<ACC_ALG-Bomber_airbase>
<Cutscene FileName="b_pregame_2.xml"/>
</ACC_ALG-Bomber_airbase>
but I am not sure if it matters!
NB> Search and delete any pre existing "deelen" entries, or replace this with them.
4.
If your install is in era 3 open the global_layer.csv file and paste the line in DEELEN_global_layer.csv at the bottom of your global_layer.csv. Copy that whole file to CFS3 Terrain SDK/GlobalLayer and delete any csv or gsl.lib file there. run the "make_gsl.bat" file and then copy and paster BOTH the new global_layer.csv and gsl.lib files into the global_layer folder of your install. Over write the existing files.
NB> Search and delete any pre existing "deelen" entries, or replace this with them.
5.
Copy the contents from the deelen_qc_location.txt file into your qclocations.xml file under the line
<Country Name="Netherlands">
6. the TOW.cfg file is only for those who know how to use scenedb instead of the CFS3 Terrain SDK/GlobalLayer to install the iarfield into the global layer.
NB> Search and delete any pre existing "deelen" entries, or replace this with them.


I may be contacted here as "mongoose"

Also having a problem with the g_mannheim folder : the .m3d file calls for.dds that are not present in the folder, and the ones in the folder are not used.

OK it was a while back but I don't think it matters. Interesting it's not in my cutscenes but several OS's later!
