Hi,

Thought I'd post this for the map addicts among us. I was going to give the stock Tarawa a makeover but ended up remaking the whole thing from scratch. It's a much bigger map with the two atolls north of Kiribati included. Its not perfect geographically but is closer to reality than before.

There is an airfield on each of the islands which may or may not have been there during the war. I could only find photos of Betio and the Japanese airbase. They exist today and one of them I cut straight out of GoogleEarth.



I've only run it on 4.09 so far but I don't see why it wouldn't work on 4.10..the only non-stock objects are Canons and Hangar Mod. And Zutis for the airfield friction. Made some new textures and adapted a couple by Avala and Agracier.

Have to admit to being a bit behind with the developments at the moment - had to say goodbye to my old dog a few months back and my heart hasn't been in anything. Now I have the urge to fly again it looks like I'm going to have to take the UP/DBW plunge. I've always been strictly modact before..







Cheers all

This should fix the airdrome points, just replace

Can't get it to run in 4.10.1. 

Error:  World.land().LoadMap()error.java.lamg.RuntimeException:Landscape'Ra_Tarawa/load.ini'loading error

(I have all the map mods you mention added)

nice map, thanks Ramone! 

[Ramone]

crazyeddie - sounds like a texture in the wrong place.

Gerax - oops, I'll edit the parkpoints and update the download.

Cheers.

Tried a fresh download and checked everything is in the right place, still getting same error.

It's a simple install, map into the map folder, the one line all.ini entry and the 2 texture files to Land Summer and Trees.  I have done it hundreds of times with other maps so I'm pretty sure it is all okay.

What mods did you use, I might be missing something.  You said Cannons and Hangars, I have both, inc J hangars.

What version of the game did you build it in, I think I see entries in your Load.ini that do not correspond with my _tex files.

works for me, Ramone.
Thank you very much, she's a beauty.

[Ramone]

parkpoints adjusted; please see first post for 'actors'

crazyeddie - I built it on 4.09, you could check your logfile if its a missing object, but apart from those mentioned it should all be stock??

The only thing I think could cause a problem would be the tree file..

Let me know what you think is wrong with load.ini - maybe your install has a different path? Sorry mate..

[crazyeddie]

Ramone

It is the load.ini that is causing the problem, I do not have some of the texture files in your load.ini, I will need to find the corresponding maps and put them into my _tex file to sort it. 

Nothing wrong with your maps my friend, I have been hoping that somebody would come up with a decent Tarawa one day and this looks to be it.

Many thanks for your time, I will fix my problem, looking forward to getting this map up and running, well done.

crazyeddie - just looked at load.ini; it could well be the Clouds269 file (its from another map). Check first line under [Appendix]. I put a stock Clouds256 file in the load.ini, so just uncomment it and disable the Clouds269 line, or remove it.

[Gaston]

Same problem as crazyeddie here... using it with my DBW (with last update) install.

[crazyeddie]

Ramone

That cloud file was part of the problem, I just removed it.

I also had to change the paths for a couple of other lines in [WOOD] and [APPENDIX] as well, it did not take long.  All fixed.

Just had my first good proper look at your map, excellent work mate, I'm really looking forward to using it, many thanks. 

[Ramone]

Cool. Hope that works for Gaston too!
