Poland_1939 Map - update for Vpmedia's retextured version

This is an update for the Poland 1939 map made by Uzin and later retextured by Vpmedia:
https://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=2661

It's an update patch, so it requires the retextured Poland_1939 map by Vpmedia!


I've been working on this update since December 2020 and it includes the following improvements:
-All generic objects removed and replaced on all generic towns.
-Added more objects to all the suburbs and small towns that previously had fewer objects.
-Added objects to the fields. To keep the actors static on a manageable size I've only populated the fields close to airfields and most of the towns.
-Increased number of objects from 278482 to 723825, which is 445343 more objects.
-Improve road connections and road layout and some historical corrections.
-Improve rail connections and rail layout and some historical corrections.

Non generic towns (Breslau, Krakow, Lodz, Lublin, Poznan, Warszawa):
-Completely rebuilt with improved objects placement, so they match the terrain textures better.
 
-texts.txt changes:
Typos and errors corrected.

-Minor texture updates.

-New towns:
AR7 Lubliniec
AX12 Radomsko
BJ12 Ilza
AT21 Poddebice

Thank you very much, von Oben ,
Do the JasnaGora_plate and Swamps_Quicksand objects need entries in the static file?

Best regards,
Piotrek

[vonOben]

Hi Piotrek

Yes, they are needed. But they are from the original release of Poland_1939 map by Uzin, so if you have that map installed no need to add anything.

Best regards
