Nice idea for a mod. I like the VCS map better, too bad it still shows the new landmarks/roads and stuff, will you be editing it to 'fix' them?

Unfortunately, I'm very new to Photoshop. However, I do include the BMP's I got from the CHK files in the ZIP file. So if someone wants to fix them, all they have to do is open each one and edit away. Then once they are done, all they need to do is open TXD workshop and replace each one.

Yeah, a bit much work for me to be bothered with IMO

BTW, is it just me or is the .zip file completely empty? Both yours and R*W mirror in fact.

For some reason Vista and WinRAR don't get along too well.

Should work now.

Yes they are. And damn, I was thinking correctly, there are indeed 64 different images

Oh well, I don't really play VC anymore, but if I do get round to it I may well install your mod.
