Part 1a. Extra maps you might need
There aren't many of these because scenario writers are conscious of the aggravation a rare map can cause -
but every so often someone gets an idea too cool to pass up, like Nimo's Volcano map. Download the following
files and you'll be ready for almost anything.
UPDATE: To make this super-easy, I've uploaded four .zip files that contain every extra height map I'm aware
of. They're called AllTheMaps1, AllTheMaps2, AllTheMaps3 and AllTheMaps4, and they're available at the link
below. Download, unzip, and put all the .raw files into your Maps\height directory. These should definitely cover
you; this is all the maps I have, and I haven't been caught out in many months.
To your Steel Beasts\Maps\height directory:
All The Maps!
If you're after a specific map, the breakdown is like this:
AllTheMaps1 contains (hgt)hobbs2048[rolling],
(hgt)magpierange2048[hills], (hgt)skeetlow1024[valley],
FtIrwin, Irwin and jimi.
AllTheMaps2 contains (hgt)westpoint2048[plainswithrises],
(hgt)yullasridge2048[ridges], ambush at woods edge, hmap
and riverlands.
AllTheMaps3 contains AS_AstorPass, city, Commonwealth,
Cumb, FtPolk and Vietnam.
AllTheMaps4 contains (hgt)meride4096[vbumpy] and
volcano.
To your Steel Beasts\Maps\terrain
directory:
Note: the first three links
are broken; I'm looking
into it. Sorry.
● Chaffee
● Desert
● Spirit Dance
● ...and here are two more
terrain maps that can't be
accessed directly -
Metropolis and Objective
Savage.
A battlespace in Steel Beasts has
three essential components - the
height map which contains the
topographical information, the
terrain map which determines where
the trees, water, bushes, dirt and
mud are, and the scenario file which
controls what units are present, the
scoring and events. To use a
scenario, you have to make sure you
have the appropriate height map and
terrain map; if you don't, bug the
scenario author and find out where
those maps are - then let me know so
I can add them to this resource.
