Squad Battle slopes for Panzer Battles

Post by Pinetree »

I inserted the slope hexsides from SB into PB and I think they make a massive improvement, they seem more natural looking, especially with the hilly areas such as Maleme on Crete. There's a set for BoNA 1941 & BoN. The Battles of North Africa set should work for Kursk also, but I don't have it so can't test (One of the map folders is Russia). They are JSGME-ready so just extract to your mods folder.

I'm a bit wary of releasing it as they're not my graphics. If WDS are okay with it I will, otherwise, if you have a graphics program that can use layers, it's a fairly simple job to replace the slopes. You can get them from the Squad Battles demo.

And remember SB ships with an alternative set of slopes with a more geometric/solid look under Map>Alt>2DSidesXXX.png :-)

Great idea for my old eyes.

Must say I did what you said, extracted BonA41to the Mods folder, activated with JSGME but can't see anything like your Screenshot of Malema. (Attached my screenshot.) I then disabled it in JSGME and overwrote the Files in Desert Folder under the Map folder. Still no change.

Have latest PzB update.

Is there perhaps something I am doing wrong here?

You might have slopes off in the game. Check View > Map Slopes is enabled or hit the "]" button to see if that helps.
