Title: offline terrain loading
Post by: saltee on August 11, 2010, 01:51:47 AM

I've gone through the clipboard and have attempted to load a different terrain, for offline practice.  I get to "arena settings>environment" and all the categories to the right are highlighted, and accessible, except "Change Terrain".  I have participated in several SnapShots, FSOs, and scenarios over the past 6 months or more.  I specifically downloaded the "RhineWin" terrain to familiarize myself with the area.  No joy.  Do I need to preload some obscure folder or tweak a similarly placed key entry to get this feature to work?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  <S>

Terrains belong in the "ahiiterr" folder.  If you are running Vista/Windows 7 and have the game installed in the "Program Files" folder, then the terrains are stored in a virtual store and not in the game installation folder.  We have no control over that.

Which is why we moved the game out of the "Program Files" folder.
