hoping to resolve the mini-map "time freezing" soon
This is controlled in the gscreens.csv file. Find the new 'Map' line and in column D (Index) insert a 1, replacing 2 or 0.

Edit: Oops, column F

that did it!! for my file(s) though, Index is column F and the line # I needed to change was "89" (from a 0 to a 1)...

I'm close to being all set now except:

- the only NAP era map I have is Alpine, so i'll need to locate some more and then learn how to "add them" so they show up on my avail map list if playing a sandbox game

- and figure out what other players will need (OOB's, or MODS, maps, etc.) in order for me to host a MP game?

There aren't any Napoleonic era maps. Our MP group plays on the ACW maps and just imagines the buildings are European and not American!

Garnier has released a lot of 'random maps' that are computer generated and lack any buildings. Those without many stone walls and forests have a slight feel of central Europe, so you could try those.

Other players in MP must have the same mods activated in the same order and the same maps. Only the host needs the OOB or scenario.

so, there's no way to import maps used in the Kriegspiel or Blenheim mods? (they'd be a better fit I would think?)

(edit: never mind...guess they use the same maps as well!!!)

If you have the KS Mod then you have the KS maps! All players must have the mod enabled though.

The Blenheim mod uses the basic Gettysburg maps and adds terrain to them - same buildings though. You could not enable the Blenheim mod to play Nap on those maps because the Blenhein mod has its own logistics folder. You'd have to disable the Blenheim mods logistics folder and toolbar by renaming them, or make a new mod called 'Blenheim Maps' or something and put the maps folder from Blenheim in there.

thanks...what I did was create a 2nd mod folder (called it "Blenheim Maps for NAP") and copied every Blenheim file/folder into it except "logistics", activated it, and it seems to be working just fine; playing a sandbox waterloo game on the Blenheim map...
