Thanks so very much for your hard work with this map. Your contour fixes and new buildings improve the map immensely. However, I have issues with some of your texture changes. Some areas of the map wash-out, or lose their clarity, especially roads and treeless areas, and, the Devil's Den area as compared below:

I'd prefer that this map maintain more of the original look as seen in the top screenshot. Or, are these texture changes a necessity of the contour fix? Regardless, hope I didn't burn a bridge with this critique.

No problem. Different views.

I reduced the height and density of those boulders so that troops aren’t perched on them like a bunch of acrobats.

Of course, if you want to add them back in via Power-render, help yourself. B)

If you want a rocky ground texture around Devil’s Den that can be reinstated, here's a revised link -

If you want all the original ground textures reinstated I can do that too.

However, whilst I'm happy to do some minor tweaks I won’t be doing major rewrites. Sorry but I just don’t have much spare time for modding right now.

Reb - here's a version with the original ground and rock textures reinstated.

See what you prefer. Your choice. B)

Update 1.5 - Crikey's Upgrade

- Reduced map height to better reflect the reduced sprites
- Changed scale and amended buildings to make shaded, like SoWWL.
- Added some better textures to some buildings
- Several new buildings added

...and to quote Crikey:
"I reduced the height and density of those boulders so that troops aren’t perched on them like a bunch of acrobats."
This is the BIGGIE to make the Devil's Den boulder formation area playable - No more Skywalkers.

Thank you Crikey for making this map completely playable now!

This has opened up a new dimension in gameplay - I'm loving it!
Working out strategies, planning with and around the AI is better too it seems, at least for me.

LOOKS GREAT TOO!

I'm still playing the first scn - trying to figure out the 'best' strategy!
I've managed to get half the score, but only about 20 mins to get the last objective.

I've ended up a bit far away, but the lads needed a rest!

[voltigeur]

just a quick note - brilliant work lads! Thoroughly enjoying this new take on the classic.

Sounds like you haven't activated the 'TC2M SOW Infantry SR1' mod included with 'True Ground SR1'. Prioritize all related mods according to the Intro instruction with the 'TC2M SOW Infantry SR1' mod and you should be good to go.

In the future convert all screenshot attachments to JPEG (.jpg), if you want them to appear.

Thanks for the report, glad you're enjoying the mods!
