SHP problem

I recently downloaded Mig Eater's excellent "Allied Airfield" shp I then took my best shot at coding it into my art and rules ini files. But after testing, the
airfield is only visible on snow maps, and invisible on any other type of map.
These are the Art and Rules entries I used:

Have I done something wrong, or could there be something wrong with the shp? Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks. Smile

Having NewTheater=yes and only having the GA which represents Artic "SnowTheater" will only allow it to show in Snow maps. So either remove NewTheater=yes or clone the shp's and rename them with GT,GU, etc.

What are the names you used for the shp files?

If it only works on snow maps then I presume they are the same as what you have used in the ini code (i.e. they start with GA).

Because you are using NewTheater=yes tho the files should all start GG.

Thanks for the replies, Mig Eater and Cranium. I renamed the shp "GBAIRC"
and left the comment "NewTheater=yes" in place, and it is now fully visible
on all maps. The Allied Airfield was definitely worth the effort to add to my
YR. By the way, Mig, it makes a much better place to launch YOUR excellent "B-1B Lancer" bombers from than those that came with the game. I especially like way the planes take up a slightly staggered pattern on the pad. Again, Thanks for the assist!
Very Happy
