Install

Read the readme in the release rar. Run the PMC_Iran_Theater_v0.3.exe file and choose either RV/OF or AF install depending on your Falcon version. Remember that the installation takes a long time to complete and is extremely heavy on the system, be prepared not to do anything on the background and to reboot your computer after the install is complete.

Done!

And finally the readme:

Code: Select all

	Falcon 4 - PMC Iran Theater

v0.3 released December 22nd, 2007.

This theater comes with temporary 128x128 resolution tiles because we wanted to make the download smaller. We will include the high res 512 tiles lateron when more tweaking has been done to the theater. Alot of terrain tiling has been fixed (CATE configs). Objectives linking is complete, special objectives like nuke/chem/bio sites have been added. Campaign triggers tweaked by adding victory conditions.

	Install

1) Delete any and all earlier Iran installs.
2) Run the PMC_Iran_Theater_v0.3.exe and choose RV/OF or AF.

Done!

Please take a notice that the LxNormalFix utility is very heavy on your computer, it will cause approx 780mb memory usage so if you're short on memory get prepared for very heavy swapping by win. Its most likely you cant do anything else while the installer run and then you have to reboot your computer. Also if you install to RV or OF there is additional SeasonSwitcher which takes long time to run also.

We are looking for bug reports and feedback as this is version. More details can be found at PMC Tactical forums in the Iran theater area. We will answer all your questions and then some in the forum. If you do not have account in there, you need to email me so I can create one for you (new user registrations disallowed because of too many spammers). Email me to nospamm address or contact me at Frugals or FreeFalcon forums.

Hey Sherlock, I'm working on Iran v0.3.1 right now and would like to know if there is any files from your end that needs to be added into the release?

If you don't have any, then it will be quite ready for release as it works so far just nicely.

I'll wait for the next release when we'll have more work done on the theater.
IMHO Better to get it out there now so we can start flying\debugging it.

I was looking for reply to this post here. Did you miss that post, or are you not interested in Iran anymore?

No, I'm sorry I missed that post. I am definitely interested in the IRAN theater and moving it along. Just Real Life has taken all of my time recently. I hope to have more time in a couple of months.

As a note, did you get the custom tiles I did for Bandar Abbas into this version? See this thread for background: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=21130

Great to hear, you got me worried there for a second :)
Just Real Life has taken all of my time recently.
Absolutely no problem.
I hope to have more time in a couple of months.
Just send files to me and document the sendings / instructions to the forum here so I can keep track of them months/years later, just like what happened here now.
did you get the custom tiles I did for Bandar Abbas into this version?
Sorry no, that was my mistake. Well "mistake" in the sense that I didn't remember all the stuff we've been gone through since the last release and thats why I asked you and everyone to give me heads up of what else I need to add to the release.

I found the bandar rar's in ODS dir and have now them queued to be added. I don't want to do quick hotfix because in this case it would be whole theater download again, so we'll wait for next full release.

Anyways, if you have anything else in your dirs, or something is missing from v0.3.1 please send them to my way or rehash old topics where you already posted about them.

BTW these are the tiles, but what about tiling, you obviously have tiled the harbor with these tiles, so any chance you could export the segments, rar them up and send to me?

I will load up the latest version and review to see what/if anything is missing that I know of.

I've changed computers at least twice over since I did those tiles. I will have to TerrainView them in again and export the segments then. I'll make that a priority when I get some time down the road.

Okay great, no rush though, unless there are critical bugs these releases will have to do for now.

If people get excited and submit lot of work etc, then we can push out more releases but now I'm happy as PMC theaters have been brought officially into FF 5.5.x :)

Thanks in advance.

And all PMC theaters so far have been released to all F4 versions.

Guys ..... please bear with me on my question .... even though I know its a silly question ..... Its because I'm new to all this and am trying to catch up .... so here goes ....

I already had the original version of the Iran Theater installed on my F4AF ....

now I see a new version has been released .....

Is this new version any different from my older version? or is it a new version because its now compatible with FF5?

Is that the only difference?

If so ..... that probably means I don't need to uninstall my older version and reinstall this newer version? Am I right in my understanding?

Also, I've just seen Snake man talk about a new Pak Map fir Iran theater here viewtopic.php?f=38&t=22315

how does this work? ..... is this part of the new version?

I'm sorry for such silly questions ...... any answers are welcome.

Thanks.

visioninthedark,
There are no "silly questions" here. We learn by asking questions, so keep on asking. :mrgreen:

There are only minor differences between 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 versions but I don't have a list of those differences; perhaps Snakeman can give you an idea about what those consist of. The important thing to remember is if you are performing mods that you will submit to Snakeman for inclusion in the next Iran release, then you need to be working on the most recent released version so your changes are tested on that baseline.

The new Pak Map isn't available in the 0.3.1 version. I just created it yesterday using the 0.3.1 version. Hopefully it will be in the next release.
