Notes
You can NOT have both this mod and the Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod or Google Maps - Change Pin Legend Mod installed at the same time. You will have to choose the one most suited for your needs.


Purpose of the mod

This mod replaces the 6 default Google maps place levels with a range of 15 levels more suited for the situation in Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, France and Spain. Of course the 6 default levels are still in there in some or other form.


Developer

This mod was developed by Bart 'Roebie' Degryse


Requirements

  • A working TNG installation. The automated installation release was tested on TNG Version 8.1.0., 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.1
  • A backup of all edited files (see TNG Modules Involved).
  • An installed current version of the Mod Manager (note this is built into TNG v8 and above).


Automated Installation

  1. Download the appropriate zip file as shown in the summary in the upper right corner of the page
  2. Extract the config file and the google_maps_15 folder from the downloaded zip file into the mods folder
  3. Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the mod.


Other Languages

Those who use other languages in addition to English can find appropriate mods to add Dutch, French or Spanish custom text additions in the summary in the upper right corner of this page. Follow the same procedure as explained above to install them.


In the event of a problem

  • Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
  • Or copy your backup of the TNG modules involved.


After Installation

This mod is based on the Google Maps - More Place Levels Mod by Roger Moffat. Unlike Roger's mod however this one provides no automatic nor manual updating of your current place levels. Just go to Admin->Places and update the Place Level where needed.
Those who feel comfortable with it could make the changes directly in the database. Be very careful however as you could ruin your database. Make sure you make a backup before you start (Admin->Utilities)!

TNG 9.0

Roger was so kind as to make a seperate mod of his code to update your place levels. That way you can also use it together with this Google maps 15 mod. Please check out Update Place Levels Mod for more information.

Side effects

As with most source code modifications, these changes will likely be overwritten during your next TNG revision upgrade and will need to be re-implemented. (Using the Mod Manager greatly simplifies this process).


Sites using this mod

Well, of course, my own. Since it's not public it's not really worth adding a link here though.
