5_Pine.zip

Vincent "MEGA" Crane

Isn't Janes set to take place in the Ardennes forest? This modification replaces the individual, randomly placed trees with a more dense forest of pines of varying height and shape. 

This is accomplished by replacing the single tree J3D with a new J3D depicting a cluster of 5 pines. The model employs the pine bitmap included in the original Janes WW2 Fighters, but never used. This distribution includes a restore option if you would like to go back to the original single tree. 

This distribution does not include any new textures, so no video card compatibility issues are expected. I have gone light on detail (each tree has fewer faces and vertices than the default tree) in order to minimize frame rate impacts. 
 
Installation
------------
Before installing this, or any other, custom modification, you are advised to make a backup of your original ww2.sqs archive. 

Extract the contents of this archive to the WWII Fighters\Data directory.  Assuming the
default installation, this is: C:\Program Files\Jane's Combat Simulations\WWII Fighters\Data

The files will be extracted to a new directory WWII Fighters\Data\Five_Pine_Mod.

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the WWII Fighters\Data\Five_Pine_Mod.

  To install the five pines, double-click on the "Install_Megas_Five_Pines" icon.

  To reinstall the original single tree, double-click on the "Reinstall_Original_Tree" icon.

Either selection will open up a DOS session and the installation will proceed in this window.  When the installation is complete, a message saying "DONE...CLOSE DOS SESSION" will be displayed in the window.  Close the DOS session by clicking on the X close button in the top right corner of the window.

Installation is now complete.

Enjoy!!
MEGA
