Civil War Battles 3D Maps - pokeytrev - 01-05-2020 Quick question, I noticed that there are files you can download from the JTS site under the 3D maps section. Don't the ACW games already have these? Are they new maps that replace what's already there, or are they just to look at/study?

I recently purchased Gettysburg and had to download and install. From the Tiller site Note: These map files should be extracted to the \Maps sub-folder under the appropriate game. Note: For any game not linked below, all 3D maps are included in the update above. RE: Civil War Battles 3D Maps - pokeytrev - 01-10-2020 Thanks, but do you know what they are or what they replace? I installed them and don't see anything different. Granted I only played one or two scenarios, so I probably don't know what to look for. RE: Civil War Battles 3D Maps - BigDuke66 - 01-14-2020 First, they are usually part of the 3.0 or later installers. So if you patched it to 3.0 they may or may not have been installed depending on whether they are part of the 3.0 patch or not. What you can test is, open the Settings menu and select the option "Hand-Drawn 3D Maps", that should bring such a map up for the current scenario, if nothing happens they need to be installed. RE: Civil War Battles 3D Maps - BigDuke66 - 01-14-2020 The exception are those from Shenandoah, if you look closely the link is called Campaign Shenandoah Hi-res 3D maps, and Hi-Res they are. Those maps are about 3 times bigger then those that come with the 3.0 installer.

The Hand-Drawn 3D Maps option in the menu quickly allowed me to see the difference in maps. These newer 3D maps look much different. |
