Non official POH 0.7.0 quick installation guide
-
DISCLAIMER: This is what worked for me (Windows 7). Sorry for having an OS in another language.
I do not represent F4Spain. I have collaborated, like many many others, but this is just my initiative to release the team from this task.
If F4Spain wants to take care of this feel free to use whatever you want. If required, I will delete the post.
DISCLAIMER OVER.
Now with the guide:
STEP 0: Download and place the zip file inside your Falcon BMS Setup folder.
If you have downloaded seven files create a POH 0.7.0 folder inside the BMS Setup folder, move the seven files there and jump to step 2.
STEP 1: I unzipped inside this same BMS Setup Folder using 7zip software:
STEP 2: Once again unzip by right clicking in the first file (-POH 0.7.0.zip.001-) and using the exact same procedure as above
STEP 3:Now you have two folders,one inside the other, with two files (Data.7z and Pillars Of Hercules 0.7.0.exe)
BE SURE BMS IS CLOSED BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Double click on the .exe:
Thats it. Now go to theaters and select Spain-Portugal.
If that fails…… I will post under some quotes on what problems people had and how they solved them.
Further troubleshooting:
To anyone that can help.
I’ve been trying to install POH and have had no success followed the instructions in previous posts but just get an empty folder Add-on Spain-Portugal in my data folder. I’ve installed other theaters without any problem but this 1 is driving me mad a step by step idiots guide would be very welcome.
Many thanks
And he solved it:
Finally success had to extract data folder manually an paste all to add on spain-portugal then edit theater list tried that earlier but must have missed something .
Now got new theater to crash into !
Many thanks to allThe theater list edit is as darthkata says:
The file it´s theater.lst. Only add at the end “Add-on Spain-Portugal\theaterdefinition\POH.tdf” (Without ") You can find it in Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition
So, if by anyways installing or reinstalling does not work, you can try to extract de data.7z (see pic in step 3) file using 7zip, create an “Add-on Spain-Portugal” folder under your Falcon BMS folder (Tipically C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data), paste there the contents of the data.7z and edit the theater.lst as described by dartkata above.
If you had a problem during install and solved it please tell in this post -unless an official guide and troubleshooting post takes on the task-
Stay tuned, I will update.

For the POH TEXTURE PACK 7.0 HI RES 1024, I do not understand this step (it is poorly worded):
“2-Delete TERRAIN.BIL, TERRAIN.HDR, TERRAIN.NRM, TERRAIN.SBI, TERRAIN.TID into *\Data\Add-on Spain-Portugal\terrdata\terrain”

Buddy, what exactly you don’t understand?
Just go here: …\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Add-on Spain-Portugal\Terrdata\terrain and then delete the specific 5 files that have the name “TERRAIN”.
Don’t be afraid, with the first run of BMS, they will be created again ;).

I had the same problem/question. It’s just a little language translation thing …. ‘delete … into’ is awkward in English. But I took a leap of faith, deleted the files and all was OK (as Nikos says it will be).
(No big deal Team POH … works as advertised. )
