This tutorial will show you how to add custom DF:LW terrians without packing them in terrians.pff.
Adding Custom Terrians
When you download custom terrains for DFLW, you do NOT need to pack them to your Terrains PFF file in order to make them work in the editor or the game.
There's a simple command that you add to your DFLW and DFLW MED desktop shortcut's that will allow you to utilize them when they're not packed. This goes for any version of the DFLW Mission Editor too (note: I am unsure as to whether this will work for DF2 and definitely don't know about DF1).
First off, you need to have a shortcut on your desktop for each.
Second, right click the shortcut - either one, in the popup window, click on properties.
In the TARGET LINE after the last " place a space and then add /d and that's it. Do that to both the Game and MED shortcut's target lines and once that's done, you simply need to only copy all of the terrain files to your MAIN DFLW folder and you're set to go.
Here's an example: "C:Program FilesNovaLogicDelta Force Land WarriorDflw.exe" /d
If you add custom sound DBF, BIN and PWF files, the same goes for them, just place them in the main folder and that /d will make them work both in the editor and game.
