TankHunter Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 (edited) If they are looking for a .raw height map, then I suspect you likely have the old versions of the scenarios for some reason. They were updated to use the new maps. The updated missions should have installed with the rest of SB Pro PE.

The folders were created today - but the files are from 2015. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted July 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2019 Odd, are you sure you installed all the map packages from the map package installer? Install them again if not. But looking at the scenarios, which open here, try looking in your map package folder for these maps that some of the scenarios in your list use: ...\maps\packages\hmap [autocreated base]\deltas\sce_Domfessel 2013 ...\maps\packages\hmap [autocreated base]\deltas\sce_Kozda That is just two of the ones in your list off the top of my head that you can check to see if your map is present. These two maps are in the map installer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankHunter Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Where are you accessing the scenarios from? Is it from "C:\ProgramData\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\scenarios" or is it from another path? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted July 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ah OK, interesting. The Base map package is missing. I will throw something together here for you to try in a minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Volcano Posted July 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2019 Indeed, here are the files for the folder... ...\packages\hmap [autocreated base] Extract to there and try to load the scenarios again, it should work after that. The attachment here is 66.9Mb so I am not sure how long I can keep it around in the long term. -------------------------- So, to figure out where the issue is, did you install the maps from the USB stick or from the download links? One or the other might be missing this base map package. Or did you uncheck some of the maps in the install? (like the "hmap" base one)? 🤔 (If you unchecked some of the map packages to install, then there will certainly be errors like this) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apocalypse 31 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 1. Download Link 2. Made sure all boxes were checked I will re-download and confirm that i didn't miss anything else Thanks for the files 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted July 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2019 OK yes, please try again when you can. Download links were tested, and that base map package seems to be present, but you never know what might have gone wrong. If you try it again, move the contents of the ...\maps\packages\hmap [autocreated base] folder into a ZIP on your desktop temporarily, and then remove the files from the folder, and after install see if the files appear. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you restart Steel Beasts after copying the map files? If you had it running while doing so it wouldn't know that the content of the map packages folder changed (unless you pressed one of the refresh buttons that are sprinkled across the UI in various places). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssidiver Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think I am missing something. I keep seeing references to ' ...\maps\packages\ '; but I don't have a 'packages' directory. My Maps directory's first map shows: eSim Games/Steel Beasts/Maps/(hgt)kookvalley2048[valley]v2 [autocreated base]. That's straight from the maps download and install. Did the install fail in some peculiar way, something else creates the packages directory or is this normal too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 30, 2019 Members Share Posted July 30, 2019 There should definitely be a parent folder called "packages". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssidiver Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Thank you, any point in waiting for my package to arrive, with the stick to arrive? And is it simple to change the location of the maps folder? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can see reference to C:\ProgramData\eSim Games\Steel Beasts\maps\packages\ in the 'File paths', then you can try to change it to your custom directory. Here is a video how to do this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/87tq15xepr0g5hx/bandicam 2019-07-30 12-42-19-078.mp4?dl=0 ...But before attempting to make changes please check if your new target directory contains 'Default' map package. Also in order to make changes in the 'File paths' menu you need to run SB as administrator. Edited July 30, 2019 by Jartsev 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssidiver Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Interesting, thank you. I'll continue with how I have it now waiting for the stick to arrive. Then I will re install the maps from that. I have them on my D drive, I'm thinking there might be a noticeable difference in load times from the C:. I do have enough space there, I just like data like things on the D drive. I'll see after I've re-installed the maps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted July 30, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2019 So back to the original issue... The map in question (that I included here) is in the SB game installation. So, what could have happened here is that when SB 4.1 was installed, perhaps the map path was changed to somewhere which differs from the path where the user told the map download installer to install the maps. In this case the error in the original report would occur. We are looking to close this loophole by including the map mentioned here (hmap) in a patch, but otherwise if someone installs SB 4.1, then installs the map installer maps to the same path then all should be well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfseven Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Im having same issues no map packages folder is being made when I ran the installer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssidiver Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Yes, I found I had to manually create the 'packages' folder. Then point the maps installer to that directory and run it. And then reinstall Steel Beasts. I found that if the maps installer is set to 'ProgramData/eSim Games/Steel Beasts' then the individual map folders ended up interleaved with the 'scenarios' and other folders, including the 'maps' folder. For me the maps installer does not produce the folders that it does for others, no idea why! Continuing to monitor how this installation holds up, so far so good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
