Some questions on weather maps for different campaigns

[pandacat]

Say I got a ton of KTO maps loaded up in the “weathermapsupdates” folder. Now I want to play Balkan theater. The KTO maps would no longer be useful right? So for the new maps I create for Balkan, how should I name them? If in the same naming format, would it conflict with existing KTO maps?

This is how I understand it, but I have not tried it to see for sure.

Each theater has it’s own Campaign folder. For Korea the fmaps are in

x:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Campaign\Save …. or for ‘rotating maps’ x:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data\Campaign\Save\WeatherMapsUpdates

For other theaters, I assume, you would make fmaps for that map area (geographic size, not necessarily locale or BMS coordinates) and put them in the campaign folder for that theater, for instance:

x:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data_[add-on theater]_\campaign

For the moment, I will further assume that if you want ‘rotating maps’, you would create a ‘WeatherMapsUpdates’ folder and add the fmaps there. Like:

x:\Falcon BMS 4.33\Data_[add-on theater]_\campaign\WeatherMapsUpdates

I see. Not sure if the weather UI is smart enough to use correct file paths for different campaigns? Or it would always refer to default Data\Campaign\Save\WeatherMapsUpdates for updates.

Well, there are fmaps in each theater campaign folder. Those are for a single ‘wrapping’ weather map. So, I think, we must assume the weather UI will use the ONE map the user selects.

For the option of having multiple maps that ‘rotate’ through time, you raise a very valid question.
