In total there are two zip files (roughly 21MB). One for the graphics and one for the audio. I would like to post the files here if possible. Maybe Imperious Leader or one of the Moderators can help?

Wow, impressive.

In case you don’t have a GitHub repository and are not familiar with GitHub I would highly recommend you to register at https://forums.triplea-game.org/
You will get in contact with the TripleA developpers, map-makers and other contributors there, who will be happy to help.

Here’s the links to the mod files:

Graphic Mod:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/wgu6dhc34gi52b6/world_war_ii_v3-master.zip
Link no longer works. See updated link below.

To install, just overwrite the file ‘world_war_ii_v3-master.zip’ in your ‘downloadedMaps’ folder with this one.

Sound Mod: (optional)
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lgz5koe276p44a9/sounds.zip
No longer necessary. See updated link below.

To install, unzip ‘sounds.zip’ and replace the ‘assets/sounds’ folder with this one. Note: you should delete the existing sounds folder and replace it with the new folder. Do not just overwrite the existing folder.

You should backup your ‘world_war_ii_v3-master.zip’ file and ‘sounds’ folder in case you want to revert.

Thank you for sharing, WOPR.

When creating maps, are you aware that you can simply place sound-files into a directory “sounds” into the map-directory of any map.zip?
(Where the “baseTiles”, “reliefTiles” and all the other map-related directories are.)

This way there would be no need to touch the engine-installation directory.

Oh yeah? I couldn’t find much documentation on working with the sound properties. That would be ideal way to do it.

I’ve edited the sound.properties file and combined my graphic and sound mods into a single map zip.

This is my favorite version of AA50 for tripleA!

It reminds me of those old stanley turner WW2 maps I enjoy or like Time Life from way back in the day, but with some topographical flare to it that I particularly dig. It’s like a classic callback to Iron Blitz, but subtle. I love it! Can’t believe it took me like 5 years to chance on this post hehe.

This Custom Mod should just be the default AA50 version in the tripleA repository as far as I’m concerned. It looks glorious! Love the unit detailing.

Also I was trying it out just now with some of the Iron War units that Frostion made shown below, which were among my favs for WW2 tripleA, and it looked killer that way too! I re-labelled and ported them earlier tonight to have something I could use for G40 units as well and the files totally worked for AA50 despite having like way more tanks than the game could ever use lol. When I found this map and was like oh damn, when did this one come along? 2017 I guess, well I still think it’s rad!!! Super clean map all around.

It would be awesome to see something like this for G40 at some juncture. When I pull up the vanilla AA50 or G40, just doesn’t look nearly as awesome as this Custom Mod map. Style points especially for the little designs in the reliefs. This Custom Mod AA50 is what I really wished the AA50 map might look like back when I initially put the rough baseline together. Lots of nice touches here, it’s got the charm for sure. Well done dude!
Truly, all the best
