Merry Christmas to All. My 75th Birthday also today.

Just took a bit of time from lunch preparation to download Pea Ridge. Got some very strange graphics. Trees floating in the air in square boxes. Giant purple 'tryffids' standing around here and there. No, I haven't been dipping early into the Christmas booze.

Remembering the weird graphics problems that I encountered with Yellow Bayou, that later went away, I am loathe to comment unfavourably at the moment. I will try a new download later today and in the meantime let you all get on with your Christmases.

God Bless.

I've seen that problem, that's why I've had to rename map textures and repack several of TJ's works. I believe it is messed up for you because you have Prairie Grove also enabled, if so, disable it in Modifications and check out Pea Ridge again...please report back. Looks like I'm going to have to do some more renaming and repacking, and release Prairie Grove or Pea Ridge again.

Thanks for the early report Geoff, I knew with TJ's textures being called from various works might be a problem.

Oh, and happy birthday. What a bummer your childhood must have been getting presents, all in one, birthday and Christmas.

Hi Reb,

Did as you suggested re unhooking Prairie Grove. Now all is calm, all is bright. Thank you.

You're right about the Christmas Birthday. Never ever got a birthday party either !!!!

Gosh, those fellows look cold in shirtsleeves though. Purely on humanitarian grounds, how about some capes, overcoats or mittens ??

Best regards,

Geoff Laver

Took a while, I thought maybe you had decided to just blow it off and war-dance among the "Giant purple 'tryffids'"

Yeah, I did some testing and Prairie Grove is the culprit. Time permitting, I'm going to redo Prairie Grove's textures and portraits like I have done for the RRC release so they're no conflicts when it is enabled...folks should be able to keep all their maps available without going into Modifications and shutting them on and off.

Ha, I figured right on the birthday thing, but no birthday partys ever...BIG BUMMER.

Maybe one of these days SOW will have some winter sprites, and some Western ones, and some Indians...all needed here.

As always, enjoyed your input...Thanks

Graphics problem.

Here's a couple screenshots.

Edit: The add file button isn't taking my jpgs, but the terrain features are floating, and pixilated.

Disable Prairie Grove, it clashes with Pea Ridge, I'll redo Prairie Grove eventually to eliminate this conflict.

'Add File' does not work with Firefox, try Google Chrome or IE for attachments through this forum.

Eureka!!!

Through MTG we've found a newer version of John's Pea Ridge with many improvements over this present version, the mini map is totally different and really cool. I'm in the process of getting it ready, probably will offer it as a separate download, it's much bigger with many more terrain sprites, took me two hours last night to pack them, and, this should fix the Prairie Grove conflict once I adjust it also. We'll see how far I get before being called to duty by SOW's new project.

Pea Ridge Upgrade

If you wish to test this out before I commit it to the first post follow the procedures below. I'm sure you'll let us know if it works for you.

Unzip and find three items:

- a folder for installing the maps, title should explain procedure
- Packed, replaces Packed in the Graphics folder
- gfxpack.csv, replaces same named in Logistics folder

Replacing Packed and the gfxpack in the Prairie Grove mod should also remove the situation of Prairie Grove conflicting with Pea Ridge as discussed.

RENAME all same-named files before replacing...just in case I goofed somewhere with these instructions or whatever.

I'll await feedback before continuing this upgrade, thanks in advance for testing.

Reb,

I gave your update a try just now.

Everything seems to work fine at first glance. The new map with the contours is a great improvement. I had been trying to compare the original map with the old TC2M Pea Ridge Map and was wondering where the steep escarpment had gone.

HOWEVER, with Prairie Grove enabled,I am still getting floating trees and 20 ft high sunflowers and bullrushes. I don't regard this a major fault however just a small glitch. Takes only seconds to enable or disable.

I will have a fuller check during today that I have loaded everything correctly and also hear what others have to say. Thanks for your efforts.

Escarpment
1
: a steep slope in front of a fortification
2
: a long cliff or steep slope separating two comparatively level or more gently sloping surfaces and resulting from erosion or faulting

Learned a new word.

I don't even recall a TC2M Pea Ridge map, maybe it was released after I jumped ship to here.

So, Prairie Grove still has the Triffids. Did you install the new files in it also?

One prominent feature on the newer map is Little Mountain, it is non-existent on the older map. Also, it has Little Sugar Creek, but obviously this was still a work in progress.

I'm now getting strange artifacts on the map, after installing the update files.

I don't have the Prairie Grove mod installed.

They look like sheets of scenery, like a coloured shower curtain or glass window with trees on it.

Never could attach anything on this forum, so I can't show a screen shot.

Haven't seen that. Sounds similar to the conflict of graphics issue, are the flowers also morphed into giants?

Thanks for the report, this is exactly the kind of feedback needed to get this mod right.

Use Google or IE for attachments, Firefox won't allow them here.

Reb Hey, how is everything going!

I'm sort of confused as to why one Map has an effect on another Map.

Basically, why does one of the maps have to be disabled in order for another map to work, can you explain that.

The only thing that I can think of would be the ini file in the Maps folder, other than that, I'm at a lost!

This only appears to be an issue with TJ's maps. I think it is because he altered same named textures, then the maps call that name, but the texture specs are different...if that makes any sense. Still I'm somewhat baffled because when I gave each map's textures unique names specific to their map issues were still there. It worked with RRC and Big Whiskey, but not with Pea Ridge and Prairie Grove.
