I have some modding issues which, as I see it, should be solved if I find a promod 2.15 def pack with rusmap compatibility. I cannot seem to find it anywhere - tried this site, tried googling, looking everywhere I could've thought of and nothing... Can someone give me a link where I can download such a file or direct me where to search


Thanks !

Question:
So... What do you do if your Map Editor crashes and all your work went down the drain, do I use the .bak folder? If so, how do I get back to my process?

The BAK folders are back-ups of your sectors. It contains the 4 previous states of your folder.

You may want to look in the autosave folder instead if there is a newer copy there.

So what if the previous state was not saved in the autosave folder and I have to use the .bak file, how do I transfer the backup to my map folder?

Just copy the files and remove the number suffix. That would be all. 0 is the latest previous state; 3 is the oldest previous state.

Do the Experts have any recommendations for a .tobj editor? At the moment I'm using the one built into ETS Studio, because it's available, it's free and it works. But it's a slow and error-prone business. Something that could be run from the command line would be ideal, and if it also includes the moon onna stick...

I also have another question about defining city names, so I don't have to use the one from the Europe map. Can anyone help me out? Thanks if you can.
