Hi crockett

open the "map" folder. That will show all the games, if more than one xml.

Put the xml in a editor of your choice. Most use notepad++ or some variation of.

You have to change a few things. Search "France" for starters and switch it where you want it to go. There's a few other things to do as well.

Roger will clue you in

Edit
so "map" folder
then open "games" folder to get to xml

@rogercooper Yikes.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 We'll give it a try.

[crockett36]

@crockett36

[crockett36]

@crockett36 is that right?

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 It looks correct to me. Try it out on your computer and see if there any errors.

You should download the Pact of Steel mod.It contains a scenario called Pact of Steel 2 which has detailed comments on the XML code. You can learn a lot by reading the comments.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 Haven't run it yet, but French purchase came up.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 ran France and it moved into Germany without error.

[crockett36]

Thank you all!

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 Once you are satisified with it, post the file and I will put it into the repository.

[RogerCooper]

@rogercooper I can't post using tsvg file, I need a zip file of the entire folder.

[crockett36]

@rogercooper back. I’m not exactly sure how to use a zip file.

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 You should be able to right click on the folder and select compess to zip file.

[crockett36]

@rogercooper that would be the whole tripleA file or just the mod file itself?

[RogerCooper]

@crockett36 said in France Goes First Global 1940:

@rogercooper that would be the whole tripleA file or just the mod file itself?

You need to include all the files in the mod, even though you only changed one.

[crockett36]

@rogercooper It's saying the compressed file is still too big.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 tried triplea itself. tried only downloaded maps zipped. too big.

[crockett36]

@crockett36 even the fgf file is too big for the forum.
