I’m doing a ground‑up rebuild of my old scenario and I’ve reached the point where I need to take a hard look at the Japanese ship conversions and upgrade chains. As most of us know, the Japanese AI never uses optional conversions — it only follows upgrade paths. That means a lot of historically ...

I am making a lot of Ship Class changes. I don't see any buttons on either the Ship Class or the Ships screens that would let me click and have the ship use the new class characteristics. Is there something I am missing or will I have to go in every ship and reset the class so it gets the new ...

I have guides that say ADs can repair and rearm destroyers but what I have seen so far indicates only torpedoes. Can an AD rearm the 5inch gun on destroyers too? (I might be getting confused and confusing myself to where I don't understand what I'm seeing)

Thanks

The situation:
o Playing with version 1.126a
o My custom scenario is from around 2010/2011

I'm beginning to think that:
o The scenario is using the old 2010/2011 map
o The game itself is using newer AI scripts and causing AI problems with map differences

This is what I have Version 28. The five dat files are in the main War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition folder.

Your file dates are different from what I have for:
- pwhexe.dat (9/8/2010)
- pwzlink.dat (4/18/2009)
- pwzone.dat (4/18/2009)

Does 262 have "new" AI files or is it ...

I believe that once you create the new scenario by copying the old one, you can use witploadAE to export csv files from that scenario. You can modify those csv files then reimport them and update the scenario.

Instructions:

WITPloadAE version 9.0

This program will export the scenario database ...

Hi all,

I’m trying to confirm whether the folder structure in my installation of War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition matches what others have.

My installer is the v10079DR Digital River version, and after a clean install + patching to 1.8.11.26a, my game directory looks like this:

War in the ...

What about map differences? My scenario is pre 2015 so I'm sure it has an older map. If I create a NEW scenario bases off of a stock scenario provided with the game that the new scenario will be using a newer map version?

Hi all,

I’m looking for some guidance from experienced modders on the cleanest way to move data from one scenario into another.

Specifically, I want to take the ship, ship class, aircraft, device, and LCU data from an older custom scenario and bring it into a newer scenario built on the modern map ...

With the new patch I looked at my test unit in slot #2861 from my copy of the grand campaign scenario.

Here is what I found still:

1) It shows the symbol for a HQ but it says it's an ENG unit
2) The type is 198 which I believe is correct since it's not an HQ such as a corps or army but a ...

I'm considering adding a second monitor to my photo/game desktop so the screen isn't so cramped and I can have tools like WitP Tracker and my notes document open without covering the game window.

Does anybody use a 2 monitor setup and if so how does it work? Will I have to add any new switches to ...

I love Keyboad Shortcuts. Most of them are very helpful indeed.

However, I do not understand the combination of " I, J, K, L "?

Apparently they move the whole game window "up/left/down and right".
I could just move the Window as a whole with my mouse. If this indeed functionality is needed at ...

I set up a situation in the scenario editor where I cleared all the attached units to an Infantry HQ so that no units were using that unit as a primary. Then in a smaller unit cleared out it's attachment to its primary unit.

Here is the Infantry HQ unit.

Attachment #0.jpg

I then attached the ...

I might be trying to do the merge wrong. Once it crashed the first time I tried it with all the options and each one crashed to the desktop on me. If what I was trying wasn't possible it should at least notify me instead of crashing.

1. Do Army, Navy and Corps HQs not use shell classes? Are shell classes only for Division, Brigade and Regimental HQs?

2. What happens when a TOE has a shell class but no shell type or shell capacity information?

3. Unit 2870 (a brigade) has a prim unit of 2861 (a Division HQ) yet it is assigned ...

While I was trying to figure out the OOB for the game before I started I stumbled onto something that may clear up some confusion. I know it did for me.

Here is what I saw in my test copy of the main campaign (using extension files to convert to English). I will use the Com.Larache Infantry Divsion ...

If I patch to 1.128Beta will I be able to copy my game file from 1.126a and continue playing that game?


Yes, you just save your old .exe as a .bak file and paste the new .exe into your folder. If you are playing PBEM, then both players have to use the same .exe file.


Sorry I should clarify ...

When I had to reinstall because of a system crash and moving up to Windows 11 I completely reinstalled from the CD version and then up to version 1.8.11.26a and the most recent manuals in the manuals folder that I have is from 2009.

My printed manual and my PDF manuals all seem to be from 2009. I know there's more hotkeys than is listed because I stumbled on someone mentioning the 6 hotkey.

Is there a list anywhere of current hotkeys? Or at least what hotkey - if any - will show all air radius circles at the same time?

Thanks
