INSTALLING THE CS MOD (READ CAREFULLY!):

1. A FULL install of the original CC3 is required before installing the CS mod. You must also have the CC3 v3.0b patch from Atomic installed.

2. DELETE ALL the files from the Data\Battles, Data\Ops, Data\Camp_ops and Data\Campaign directories. This is very important and if not done correctly will result in "Can't Find Operation in Data" or a crash to desktop.

3. Extract all files to .....C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Close Combat III. Make sure that your zip programme is checked to "use folder names"

4. A separate folder is included in the CS download called Mappatch. In it are two .txt file replacements for the Junction map and Hottot map. These maps were built with traditional cc3 element hedges instead of Dreaded's WF Elements. The hedges will not provide the same cover as bocage. Using these .txt files will turn the hedges into bocage identical to most WF maps.

The following maps are needed to play the enclosed historical operations and "Normandy Campaign". You can find them all at:

Though they are not included with the submod, many CC5 maps can be used in CC3, and they are ideal, geographically correct maps for Commonwealth Summer. First you must get CC5 and then you can download the correct, matching text files in CC5to3, available at: http://www.closecombatmapmaking.f2s.com/
Follow directions in the zip enclosed readme.



KNOWN ISSUES:
*Names.txt file has been added to the Base folder. Some operations would not work without this. This file is nothing more than a copy of the GENames.txt.

*Mod or sub-mod? Much of CS is based on data from WF, so in that sense it is a sub-mod. You install it like it's a separate Mod.

*Rarity editing may be a little rough around the edges.
