If you put this newguineas3.dds into your main root folder it should show up when you log into the arena.
Corrected the spelling.
Each arena can now have an alternate map texture path specified by the CM.
Jabo is taking advantage of this new feature.
In the S3 arena whatever file you have saved as newguineas3.dds will show up as your map texture.
If you do not save a newguineas3.dds whatever is saved as newguinea.dds (default texture path) will show up as your map texture.
So you can save my compass rose map (or any texture you create) as newguineas3.dds in your Warbirds root and it will appear as your texture in the S3 arena.
Or you can save the texture as newguinea.dds and not have a file saved as newguineas3.dds and it will still show up.
Why you may ask?
This will allow folks to have an S3 texture and a default texture and not have to worry about grabbing the old one and copying over the s3 texture everytime they want use the default in another arena.
Plus CM's can design a texture for an event, include it in the update and it will appear by magic on the map screens without the player doing anything.
