GW Map Question

MaxenThor · 06-05-06, 09:23 AM

I have installed GW 1.0+both patches and I have a question concerning the Convoy Map. I have zoomed out the map available by hitting the F5 key and I do not see any Convoy Routes shown. I know it's available in a printable version but should it be available on the in game map? Thanks.

It is a pull down at the top left corner of the screen.

Thanks Irish. Those maps look great and what a cool addition. GW never ceases to amaze me. I'm always discovering another neat aspect.

That being said, it seems to have been replaced with 3 other maps/charts with GW 1.1 ... how do I get the old convoy one back? I don't need the speed charts as I made my own excell spreadsheet running on another screen. If not, could someone point me to a jpg version of that convoy map?

To replace the Tables with the Convoy map you need to mod the Maps.cfg in the
Data/Menue/CFG folder.
With the GW mod you should have received all the maps even the Konvoy***.tga
unfortunatly i don't have access right now to my modified file else i could post the entry for the Dragable Convoy map.

't is alrigh' rogerbo... I'm at work as well right now, you have another 6 hours before you need to post that file!!!

O.k. here it is what i did.

First check that in the folder data/Menu/Gui/Layout you have the file
KonvoyMap.tga

Then open in the data/Menu/ the menu_1024_768 file in the editor and search the entry

[G31 I24]
Name=Target;Neuer Eintrag für Umrechnungstabelle in Minuten

(I did missuse it for the Map as i don't use that Table)

and change the data (or copy paste) to

[G31 I24]
Name=Target;Neuer Eintrag für Umrechnungstabelle in Minuten
Type=1031;Stat bmp array
ItemID=0x31000006
ParentID=0x31000000
Pos=-350,1780,1026,1026
Color=0xFFFFFFFF
Materials=1
Display=0;No stretch
Mat 0=data/Menu/Gui/Layout/KonvoyMap.tga
Crop 0=0,0,1,1
MatFlags=0x9
TexFmt=0x9
Drag=true
BmpState=1
NeedFocus=true
SelOne=true
IdGroup=0
StatesColors=0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFF

now in the F5 you can Drag the Map down
