and be sure to back up your original files.

This is what it looks like...

Edit: Just to be clear, this is not my mod. I only updated some images so that it works for me in WaW. The Board-Map mod is available on the SC Europe mod forum and is easy to convert with some basic photoshop skills.

Status: offline 		Oops, I just forgot to rename it. I also mistakenly included the scripts etc. So until I get it cleaned up in an hour or so only use the graphics files and nothing else.

Good catch GW.

I'll see if I can rectify the situation.

Sorry about that.

Status: offline 		I get an error message "Could not find Bitmaps\border_sprites.png."

Edit - Copied the file from my old bitmaps folder and then got an error that it couldn't find border_sprites_zoom.png. More errors came up after copying that file so I compared my old Bitmaps folder with the new one and it looks like there are a ton of missing files in the new Bitmaps folder. Going to wait for an updated file before trying this again.

Status: offline 		Perhaps I'm doing it wrong. I renamed Bitmaps to Bitmaps_Old and then put your Bitmaps files in place. Am I supposed to make a copy of Bitmaps as a saved version and then overwrite Bitmaps instead of replacing it?

Edit - That didn't work either. Now the game launches but it's still using the old map. Oh well, thanks anyway for the mod. Guess I'll just stick with the original map.

Status: offline 		Alright after more trial and error I got it to work. What wasn't at all clear to me is that you have to modify each campaign directory with the mod files rather than doing it at the highest directory level for the game. The Bitmaps directory at that highest level was throwing me off because I assumed you had to modify that one instead of the ones in the campaign directories.

Status: offline 		After installing the mod for the 1939-45 Race to Victory Campaign a friend and I noticed that all the Japanese HQ's now have incorrect unit names when compared to their names in the unmodded regular 1939-45 Campaign. For example, one Japanese HQ is now called the Timoshenko HQ and all the others have numbers in the HQ name instead of the correct Japanese names.

Don't install the 'text' folder that came with the zip. As far as I can tell, using the default 'text' folder works.

With the new resources and fortifications this map looks just great.
Can you please make available this new images.

Also a great thanks for Welk and Hairog.

Status: offline 		I'm trying to mod this into the standard campaigns, e.g the Axis High Tide campaign sub folder in the SCWaW directory because there are no campaigns created in the My Documents directory. But even after replacing all files in the Bitmap and Text folders, plus the .ini file, I'm still stuck with the standard map.

Worked for me. Perhaps check the bitmap folder, and make sure the new files got copied over. Assuming you made a backup of the bitmap folder, just copy the whole bitmap folder over to the Hige Tide folder.
