What file holds this map?

And how do I create it?

Some of the H2H terrains I've downloaded have incorrect or inapplicable clipboard maps. Is there any way to correct this? Do I need to open the *.res file up with the terrain editor or something?

Seeker you can't open a .res file with the editor you need the whole folder.

For example when I made my Pokie1 terrain the editor made a folder in the editor called Pokie1 and then placed the following files in it
Pokie1.ELV
Pokie1.MDM
Pokie1.OBA
Pokie1.OBB
Pokie1.TYP
Pokie1.WCA
Pokie1.WCB
So you would need the Pokie1 folder to edit the terrain in the editor.

Now you could try to make something up, that way you could place field numbers on it.

Below is a example.

If you had a terrain called STAR with no clip board map.  Make a STAR folder in your HTC/AcesHigh/Terrain dir.
To show you what I mean, download this file, and unzip it in your HTC/AcesHigh/Terrain/STAR
 
Using the smfa .bmp map as the example.

Now when you run the STAR terrain in aces high you we see the smfa clipboard map.

Hope this helps

Thanks Pokie.

I'll work on it!

It's a shame not all terrains have good maps though..
