billboards

[animefan211]

so I am guessing that they never fixed the fact that you can't use custom billboards on windows 7 or vista did they?

Ah. Presumably because My Pictures is in a different place?

Can't you just create a "My pictures" folder in Windows 7 that looks like the one in windows XP? (I'm guessing it's just different paths/names)

Oh, I found a solution!

Worked perfectly for me, but you do need to make sure you type everything totally correctly.

1) Open a command window (cmd.exe) and run it as administrator.

2) Browse (cd) to the folder c:\Users\<your user name>\Documents

3) remove the current junction by using

rmdir "My Pictures"

4) re-add the junction by using

mklink /j "My Pictures" "c:\Users\<your user name>\Pictures\"

everything will now be looking in the path "C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures\" instead of "C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures"

This is the easiest solution. Just make a My Pictures folder in your Documents folder. Then put only the picture files you want to use with the game in there. It works.

What do Billboards actually do? Can they provide some sort of advertising revenue?

they look cool if you have the right pictures and they can give you extra income (no matter what pictures are used)
