ORIGINAL: Noakesy These look really nice, is there any way you can let an "IT Caveman" know what I'm supposed to do to import this map and counters please? Presumably if for some reason I didn't like it then I'd only have to re-load my game. Can you PBEM with people that don't download the mods? Cheers Hi Noakesy, It's pretty easy to "install" these mods while preserving copies of the original files in case you want to revert back (without having to re-install the game). Follow these steps: 1. Make backup's of your original files. If you go to the directory where you installed the game, there is a directory in there called "GRAPHICS". Inside of there is a folder called "COUNTERS". Either zip up that entire directory and name it something like "COUNTERS_BACKUP.zip" or you can left click on the directory once to select it, then right click and drag and drop that entire folder within the GRAPHICS folder and select "COPY HERE". That will make a copy of that folder and it will be called "Copy of COUNTERS". 2. Make a backup of the original map file. That file is in the GRAPHICS folder and is called "GOAmap.bmp". Use either one of the methods above to either zip archive it or make a copy of it. 3. After downloading my mod, you will unzip the archive in your GRAPHICS folder. It will prompt you to overwrite the entire "COUNTERS" folder as well as the "GOAmap.bmp" file. Select to allow it to do that. You will now have the new graphic set ready for use. Using these will not affect a pbem game with others not using the graphics in any way. NOTE: I've removed the archive that I uploaded last night and just uploaded a file of the same name that includes the COUNTERS folder with my counter mod (forgot to do that last night). If you don't want to use the counters, then simply unzip this file on your desktop or in some temporary location and then copy over just the "GOAmap.bmp" file to your GRAPHICS directory. The download remains the same as posted just above - if you grabbed this last night and don't have the counters but want them, then redownload this file. File size is now 9.63mb.
