To setup WITE to look awesome!
(this will install Jison’s mapmod, Chemkid’s ‘RainydayinRussia’ tweak to Jison’s mapmod, an alternate counter mod, and bolder fonts across the game and counters, taken together, the game just looks incredible with this):
Switch off (deactivate) any activated mods inside JSGME before applying any patches!
See here for general help as you go thru the below…

Make sure you have winrar loaded so you can unzip the file
Download jsjme.exe and install it, get it here:
http://www.blendertek.com/gottaplayitall/JSGME.7z
Be sure to install JSJME AT THE TOP LEVEL of C:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East (i.e. it should not be in a sub directory called JSJME, it should extract the .exe file and the other JSJME files into the main C:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East directory, or wherever your main game directory is)
Start 'JSGME.exe' once and let it create the 'MODS' folder into your 'Gary Grigsby's War in the East' directory (if it didn’t create a MODS directory into your C:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East directory when you installed JSJME)
Go to Jison’s website and download the main map mod .rar file here:
http://www.hist-sdc.com/MapMod/MapMod.W ... tember.rar
Once you have downloaded 'MapMod.WitE.September', do the following:
Unrar (extract) 'MapMod.WitE.September.rar' into the newly created 'MODS' folder. Create a 'MapMod.WitE.September' folder and make sure it's extracted into a 'MapMod.WitE.September' folder (it should contain the 'Dat' folder directory under the 'MapMod.WitE.September' folder)
Start 'JSJME', and 'MapMod.WitE.September' should appear on the left side (Available Mods).
Select 'MapMod.WitE.September' and press the '>' button.
That's a one time action. You won't have to choose the mod again for the next time. Close JSJME.
Startup War in the East and make sure the map mod is installed and working.
Next, download ‘A Rainy Day in Russia’ tweak to the Jison mapmod, download here:
http://robertlenz.de/aRainyDayInRussia.zip
Once you have downloaded ‘aRainyDayinRussia’, do the following:
Unzip it such that the ‘aRainyDayinRussia’ directory is inside the MODS directory (it should contain the 'Dat' folder directory under the ‘aRainyDayinRussia’ folder)
Start ‘JSJME’, and ‘aRainyDayinRussia' should appear on the left side (Available Mods).
Select ‘aRainyDayinRussia' and press the '>' button.
Say ‘Yes’ to the question about overwriting files
That's a one time action. You won't have to choose the mod again for the next time. Close JSJME.
Startup War in the East and make sure the darker map mod is installed and working.
Next, get the counter mod here:
tm.asp?m=2662746
Once you have downloaded ‘EF3DB73B9E3A43E19F37CC6DA73DF470’ (for some reason, this is the name of the zipfile), do the following:
Unzip it such that the ‘JM_Units’ directory is inside the MODS directory
Start ‘JSJME’, and ‘JM_Units ' should appear on the left side (Available Mods).
Select ‘JM_Units' and press the '>' button.
Say ‘Yes’ to the question about overwriting files
That's a one time action. You won't have to choose the mod again for the next time. Close JSJME.
Startup War in the East and make sure the counter mod is installed and working.
Next, get the fonts to be bolder and bigger (throughout the game). Refer to this thread for general help:
tm.asp?m=2645378
Create a WiteFontConfig.txt file, mod the text file exactly as shown below, and place it into your C:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East\Dat folder (renaming the original WiteFontConfig.txt file to WiteFontConfig.old.txt first)
//Wite Font Config File

That’s it! It should be looking fantastic now!
