Also, from what I've been able to assess on my rig., the big Global Layer Mod ver. 2.0 that Xjouve released recently already includes some of the other mods., such as the French aces/campaigns modifications - perhaps it also incorporates something from the "Landcover terrain" mod. too (not the terrain bump map but the terrain/city relocation one, CLC and 2GIS versions). As well included in the Global Layer Mod is ver. 3.0 of the improved in-flight map (black-and-white version).

XJouve or anyone:
How does one zoom the maps (which are great), and also where is and what does deleting the ui.xml file do?
Thanks

Don't know about the zoom feature - never tried that - but the ui.xml file is located in the main OBD WOFF directory - it controls such things as map overlays and also color of HUD text, etc. I've tinkered with it on occasion to remove the white background that is visible behind the HUD info., also works good to widen the line that indicates the front, to change its color, and so on. I'm assuming that deleting the main ui.xml file reverts HUD display to stock values (never tried deleting the main one). Deleting the ui.xml file that is included with Xjouve's maps returned balloon, airfield, and structure locations on the map, for me. I then eventually opened up my main ui.xml file and did a few more tweaks to get a combination that I finally like, front line red, 5 pixels wide, and also so that I can see where structures and other things are - no matter what map I load.

@cptroyce,

I haven't known before, where I can find the ui-file. Simple way: look at the path of the file in the mod.
Deleting the ui-file of the mod: It means in my experience, that the default ui. is beeing used from the system. So you have the original signs, airfields on the new map and the original zoom.

FYI, you can modify/customize your ui.xml file (HUD colors, backgrounds, opacity, etc.) by WOFF Multimod wink .

Thanks for the replies on the ui. file.

JJJ unfortunately I can't get multi mod to run. Running XP os and latest java doesn't seem to support it; for obvious reasons.
Unless you have a Java.rar that still works with XP.

I have never been able to get any of the Java things to run except for the pilot log editor. I don't know what the problem is, they just will not load, and this is on up to date Windows 10.

Java applications (jar executables) should run on any OS, because Java is multiplatform software, and on any version of Windows. The only exception is Win 10, where you have to install Java RTE manually. So, I can not see why you are not able to run it?

That's good to know..wonder why I am not able to run the Multi Mod. I've d/l it several times but it just won't open.
Any ideas what I may being doing wrong?
Can run the Pilot Log and Campaign Manager though.

Perhaps there is a certain place for the Multi Mod to be placed before running it?

If you run Winrar (or another compression tool) they sometimes associate .jar files etc as compressed files. Remove that association and should be good.

I assume you are responding to my above post?
If so, I use Winzip 7, but the download from the site, just delivers the java file unzipped as far as I can tell.

@Beard and Royce, might also be worth a try to download the "offline" installers for Java and to try installing it that way:

https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Relevant installer links there are "Windows Offline" and "Windows Offline (64-bit)." If you are still on XP, perhaps try installing via the "Windows Offline" installer, since that one is 32-bit only (come to think of it, even if you have XP 64-bit, it might be worth a shot to try installing the 32-bit ver. instead of the 64 variant).

Further note, if you are on Win10 - the 32-bit ver. of Java works fine with all of JJJ's mods, but it doesn't work with the Pat Wilson Campaign Generator for BoX (that one requires 64-bit Java). If you then install the 64-bit ver. - no worries - JJJ's mods. will still continue to work.

Yes cptroyce. It downloads as a zip but WIndows 10 (and perhaps WInzip when installed) pretends it's a folder.

Inside you will see files anyway including the exectutable one that is a .jar file.

Go into Winzip settings and look for file associations and untick/uncheck the one for .jar if it exists.

VonS and Pol - thank you for your comprehensive support. I would not describe it better and I do not have anything to add.

Just read an included Readme file from Populated Airfield Mod package - there are described all the prerequisities needed and the proper sequence how to install it.
Then apply xjouve's mods in order according to their numbers, i.e. XJ0, XJ1, XJ2, etc.


Thanks, that works.

Hallo @Xav,

your map is great and has a good zoom-factor, but … it is naked, without signs. Do I something wrong or does it need a spezial sequenze with your other mods?
Because of that I use the map of your global layer.

Thanks and Greetings!

Did anyone ever solve the black map problem? Sadly I suffer from it too.


MACHINE GUN FIRE: CAMBRIN by ROBERT GRAVES (September 25 1915)

The torn line wavers, breaks, and falls. 'Get up, come on!' the captain calls 'Get up, the Welsh, and on we go!' (Christ, that my lads should fail me so!) A dying boy grinned up and said: 'The whole damned company, sir; it's dead.' 'Come on! Cowards!' bawled the captain, then Fell killed, among his writhing men.
