New Water/Land Mods and DOS .BAT files
Posted: Tue Jul 27, 2004 4:38 pm
Many new choices of water/land colors have been uploaded to the FTB lockbox.
(Pictures below)
They are in the ZIPS 1-GO-Game and ALL GAME MODS.
The DOS batch files are in GO-Game. They offer a simplified way of dealing with mods.
They will work with XP or other Windows. While OAW does much the same thing, this is an easy way for the average user to do changes without a large download. It would be nice to have a menu, but one thing at a time.
Drop both folders into EAW. You can change the GO-Game names to suit yourself---but DO NOT change the names of the ALL-GAME-MODS folder because the batch files depend on it.
With a couple of clicks in GO-GAME, you can change mods and start the game.
(Some batch files don't work--like the EXE file, partly because an upload of exe files would be huge)
MOGGY will immediately understand you can get the mods down to one click---but I left the "PAUSE" in so you can see that the batch file works correctly. If you want more details, add another PAUSE in the batch file (be sure and save it as "All Files" and not ".TXT")
As for the Water/land colors there are many small cleanups in an effort to reduce "join" problems. But there are some new types of water, not just a change in colors. Some slick and some kinda ugly.
There should be at least one you like!
I'm still struggling to make them "perfect", and may send some water files onward if I succeed.

2. BLUE ANGEL (In honor of Marlene Dietrich)
3. CAMO BLUE (Mix of blue-green "sorta" matching aircraft camouflage)
4. Dark Green
