No swords on map - 11/22/2017 6:14:45 AM

Hi!

According to the manual, recent battles should be shown as crossed swords, as should BTS-stamps. In my game there are no such symbols. Do I have to activate them somehow?

Thanks!

Push the button on upper left side (normally you see there two flags, after push it you must see the swords)

This is also cyclable with multiple view options with the "Map" panel, fourth and last column, 3rd button down, called "BTS Visibility". You can leave the upper left with multiple flag showing in "Review Battles" mode.

So far, I've had "zero success" in getting these swords to appear despite utilizing all suggested
manual directions and forum input.

I've also looked in every one of the game's folders (both "Documents" and the "C" install) for the PNG or BMP
for the swords but also have failed to find them (the PNG file).

Question: Do you know the "swords" exact file name (PNG, BMP, JPG??); and, which folder it's suppose to reside in?
Maybe the file never installed?

Thanks for any assist.

Verified. Just had a look as well... Review Battle 'Swords' somehow don't show up. I use a graphic mod though... will check if it happens in the vanilla as well.

JapLance; Klink, Oberst:

Thanks for suggestion, but that's the button(s) referred to in the manual that I've been trying since day 1 without any success.

I'd appreciate if someone could locate and provide me the actual PNG or BMP file name that is used for "the swords". As stated in my 1st post, I've searched unsuccessfully to find the file myself. Actually, if you find the file, could you please provide me with an attachment so I can put it into the appropriate folder? I can only suspect that that file IS NOT within my game folder(s) for use.

Thanks for your help.

No problem, Bob.
OK, let's try it step by step. Did you switch to 'Review Battles' on the top left corner as well? That's the only way to show the swords/review the battles (see screenshot).

There are also h_ and s_ versions necessary.

Curtis Lemay.....Thank you for the file names! I did have the files installed.....but:

I had Silvanski Mod files installed in Graphics Override Folder which had these file names. I just deleted his files and looked at the game and the swords show OK now!

I suspected something was amiss with the file(s) somehow.

Thanks again!

My bad. The tiles_misc files included are Telumar's alternative from TOAWIII without the swords of course

I was just going to post the same thing. If I get a chance, I'll go into the mod file and add the swords. Hopefully, we'll get some really nice TOAW 4 graphics mods soon though so I don't have to. :)
