Strange gliche after installing Courier and Minimaps 15001 mod

Post by pcelt »

Am using v. 1.5001 and installed this mod.All the minimaps were fine and I liked them especially for Antietam and Ch'ville. But when I went to to the screens to actually fight the battles (sandbox) I found that whatever terrain and battlefield I selected all the buildings were now of just one face--no 3D in the buildings at all.
Any thoughts on this strange gliche or on any way to get just the minimaps without any of the other modifications. It was just the improved mimimaps alone I really wanted
Thanks for any advice

NB Need to tentatively withdraw this report---as I have just returned to this after a period of time and now there appears to be no problem with graphics------still be interesting to hear whether anyone has a possible explanation for the issue.

Well, I have never heard of it, but it would have been nice if you would have taken a screen-shot of the buildings.

I will add that I'm pushing my game probably beyond what it was intended to do, and every now and then when there is a lot of smoke displaying, the toolbar will disappear for a brief second.

Not that that has anything to do with the problem that you explained above, it's just one of the things that happens.

If you see this again, please save your game at that point. Exit the game and reload the save. If it shows the same problem, post here and email the saved game to the support email. Thanks for your help.

Delete everything in the CouriersAndMaps folder except \Graphics\Screens and \Maps
Now delete everything in the \Maps folder except the files with the extension .dds

Your graphics problem was likely some initial loading of the game glitch. The mod would not be the cause of it.

MTG-Thanks very much----all works well with this.The only setback is that the mimimaps are no longer the larger size. Is there any other element in your mod I could add to my reduced version in order to enlarge the size to that of the original mod
Many thanks

For the large maps, go to the \Logistics folder and delete everything from it except gscreens.csv.
