The folder layout generated by my
Installer can be seen below, complete with all the files generated.

The folder 'Radio
Mobile' is placed in the root of the 'C' drive, and holds 15 primary folders to
contain the data required (and downloaded) by Radio Mobile. Their functions
are:-
Antenna |
Initially
this folder holds five *.ant antenna files for the default Cardio,
Corner, Dipole, Ellipse and Yagi antennas. This is where your own
generated antenna files are to be placed. An Omni pattern is also
available from the program. |
DTED |
A folder
provided to store downloaded DTED elevation data. |
Google Map |
An
empty folder in which to save Google Map data if enabled. |
Icon |
422 Unit
Icon files reside in this folder as an addition to the built in program
icons. Any icons not required can be removed and additional self
generated .ico files placed here for use. |
Land
Cover |
An empty
folder to hold Land Coverage data if required. |
Landsat |
An empty
folder to save downloaded Landsat data. |
Networks |
This is a
parent folder which holds three named Network folders:- |
|
Base
Network |
The network
generated by my installer to enable all the internal data folder links
to be generated, and set up a working network which is easy to modify
and relocate. |
|
Network 2 |
An empty
folder which can be renamed to hold your first new replacement network. |
|
Network 3 |
An empty
folder which can be renamed to hold your second new replacement network. |
Objects |
A folder
where common - not network specific - objects can be stored. |
Open Street Map |
Location where
OpenStreetMap data is stored. |
STRM |
This folder
initially contains the single SRTM tile as required by my Base Network.
It is the location where additional SRTM3 (3-arcsecond) elevation data
is stored. |
STRM-1 |
An empty
folder for SRTM1 (1-arcsecond) data where available. |
Terraserver |
An empty
folder in which to hold Terraserver data. |
Toporama |
An
empty folder in which to hold Toporama data. |
Virtual Earth |
An
empty folder in which to save Virtual Earth data if enabled. |
Yahoo Map |
An empty folder in
which to save Yahoo Map data if enabled. |
In addition to the folders,
there are extra files contained in the root of the Radio Mobile folder which are
common to all networks generated and required for the program operation.
The majority of the
files in the root of the Radio Mobile folder are available from Rogers' Download
page
Here, and are contained
in the installation files at:-
Step 3: rmwcore.zip
Step 4: rmw11xxxeng.zip the
selected English version language file.
The major additions
generated by my installer are:
1) |
RMW.ini |
This file contains all
the 'Start up' settings for my Base Network, and also generates all the
internal folder links to make the network function immediately it is
opened. The program uses the single SRTM tile stored in the SRTM folder
plus the saved maps and pictures in the Base Network folder. All links
to the internet downloads folders are set and will appear if enabled. By
using this file there are no changes made to the registry. |
2) |
wmap.jpg |
This 'Alternate World
Map' shows the British Isles, but it can be replaced by your own map
picture as required, generated in Radio Mobile and given the same name.
This could be a whole Country as shown by the UK, or perhaps a County if
this is your usual area of operation. |
3) |
Wmap.dat |
The .dat file is the one
generated by Radio Mobile when a picture is saved - this needs to be the
file generated with the picture above and then saved with this name. |
4) |
Uninstal.exe |
A file generated by my
installer to remove all the installed files if required and linked from
the program entry in the Start Menu. The uninstaller only removes the
initial installed files, if any additional data has been downloaded this
and its folder will have to be removed manually. |
If it is required to
manually install the program from Rogers' Downloads page, a folder structure has
to be generated. I have placed all my Geodata in the Radio Mobile directory
rather than a separate Geodata one to keep all the data in one location, and not
be spread across the drive.
I have also produced
a 'Networks' folder which contains separate named folders for each network
generated. The advantage of this is that a) all the files pertaining to a
particular network are contained in a separate folder, and following on from
this, b) you can use the same file name structure for each network without any
problems of name conflicts.
