Any one have any links to good missions on this map, especially if they have many planes and ground action?

If you have the newest version of the maps, BurmaLower_1942 and BurmaLower_1945, you can use these:

Flying Tigers Battle for Rangoon - Updated

Flying Tigers Over Burma - Updated

Twin Dragons 1944

The following campaigns were designed for the original version of BurmaLower:
It's possible to fly these on the newer BurmaLower_1942 and BurmaLower_1944 maps if you change the mission files.  At the top of the files there is a line which shows which map will be used for that particular mission.  Change that name to the newer map name (cztx_BurmaLower_1942 or cztx_BurmaLower_1944).  Then "save" it.
Some day I hope to have these updated.

Is BAT using the latest Burma Lower map of yours CzeckTexan.... how do we check the version of a map?

[CzechTexan]

You know, I was just thinking of that yesterday.  I should have put the map version number on the edmaps so that the player could see which version it is.  In the latest version, I added an airfield in Thailand on the eastern edge of the map at Nakhon Sawan - an airfield used by Japanese bombers to strike Rangoon.

I don't have BAT so I don't know which version it has.  I think, by now, BAT should be up to date.  Even if it has an older version of cztx_BurmaLower_1942 and _1944 then my missions should be OK. 

The much older cztx_BurmaLower (in vpModpack) is way out of date.  There has been major changes for airfields, more added buildings, train stations, and much better textures, etc. which are in the _1942 and _1944 maps.  I highly recommend installing the newer maps if anyone is using vpModpack or adds mods to their Modact or DBW.

A side note:  I noticed that I was getting a drop in fps from the "tree0=" in the load.ini file (in the latest version).  Anyone can easily change that "tree" by changing the line of text to any other tree from any map.

I tried putting your latest 1942/1944 maps in BAT and the map wouldn't load...

Code: [Select]

INTERNAL ERROR: LoadTextureFromTga('MAPS/_Tex/Trees/CBI_AlteredBush8a.tga')
[11:41:35 PM] WARNING: Error: 'WARNING: Error: 'WARNING: Error: 'WARNING: Error: 'WARNING: Error: 'WARNING:'

[CzechTexan]

Do you have the True colors Texture Mod on?  That will allow 2048 textures to load.  The only issue is with the tree=0 line in the load.ini file...that CBI tree is 2048    I know, I shouldn't have added that tree and had it only as an option.  An easy fix is to change the tree0 to a different tree.

This link to reply #104 tries to explain:  https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,31616.msg624282.html#msg624282

Otherwise, The only other problem you would have is that particular tree texture is not in the _Tex/trees folder.

[looneytunes]

It sends an error still so I must not have the whc tree texture... anywhere I can get it from? Thanks for taking the trouble for me.

[CzechTexan]

No problem.  It's my fault.  I should have made the 2048 tree texture optional.
Here's the link for the whc_Jungle tree0 texture:

That worked... thanks.
