Custom themes???

[Jippo]

I'm desperately trying to change a landscape theme to a custom theme that came with Zipuli's Finn mission pack. The themes are now in my scenarios folder and Zipuli's missions look very Finnish, so I bet they work all right. I have created a mission on the southern sweden map, and now would like to switch to Zipulis theme to make it look better, but when I choose change theme in the scenario editor or map editor, I only get some stock themes in "/themes" folder which I cannot change to search in my scenarios.

How do I get to use Zipulis themes???

Copy the theme-files into your:
c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\esim games\steel beasts\maps\themes

If you don't see application data-folder, you need to go to "työkalut" in the top menu in the folder (sama palkki kun "tiedosto", "muokkaa") then "kansion asetukset" then "näytä" and finally check the "näytä piilotetut tiedostot ja kansiot"...

Then they should be visible in the themes selection in editors... Hope it helps!

Did you put his theme in the scenario folder? It should go here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\maps\themes

If that don't work for you, open his scenario in mapeditor, choose theme and "save as". That way it would be placed right.

Thanks a bunch guys! I only looked under my own files, didn't go to all users at all. :) Finally I can see the scenario as it should look like!

I have already developed quite a dislike for the Swedish terrain textures, although the map itself is very fine. I knew what it could look like from Zipulis scenarios, but I simply couldnt find a way myself.

Thanks again guys, and a big hand for Zipuli for all the superb Finn textures!! :)
