The Blue Max 2D Counter and Map Mod

[Delaware]

Hmmm I was under the impression this would ship with the game already installed like the Community Pack for WAW. No worries. Installing now

[CSSS]

I love this counter set! Though I bought the game on Steam and do not see a MOD folder? How do I add this MOD to my game?

[Hubert Cater]

1) If you navigate to the following folder, you should see a 'Mods' subfolder after you launch the game. If it isn't there you'll just need to run the game at least once or create it manually.

C:\Users\<uesrname>\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWI

2) After that you just need to download, extract and place the mod files in this folder.

3) Then launch the game, go to SETTINGS from within the MAIN MENU screen, click on MODS, and then turn on the desired mod by ticking off the box to the right of the listed mod.

Hope this helps!

Love your mods. Is there a way to keep playing with the game unit sprites while using the rest of your mod? Just not a nato symbol fan. I can do this in WIE and WAW. Thanks!

Moderator: Please pin this thread, or an equivalent one that says how to use mods.

Thanks very much IRONX, your mod really enhanced WaW and I'm sure it will for WWI

Goodness gracious me! My word... [&o]

...the vanilla graphics is not bad at all, that must be said.
However let me again express my gratitude, this graphics mod really is one of the best ever!

Thank you.

[IronX]

Thank you all. I'm glad you're enjoying both the game and the mod!

Thank you.

To me it's the best graphics mode ever, period.

I don't think you can by default with the current Blue Max mod, but if you remove the equivalent 3D unit modifications from the Blue Max mod, i.e. by hand and removing them from all the applicable folders in the Blue Max mod, then the default 3D units will show in game as they would then not otherwise be modified by Blue Max.

Hope this helps,
Hubert

Given IronX's mod is being used to market the game, I hope he has received some compensation for his work!

This worked thanks!

Incredible mod. Really makes the appearance sing. I too hope all his work was compensated.

It's really quite the feat to have this released on day one, thanks IronX.

Having said that, France is lacking naval classification symbols on the counters, like BB, DD, CC etc. Every other country has it just fine.

I dropped mod into my mods folder, and it shows up in mods under settings. I set both "x" marks to turn on widescreen and main mod but when I start campaign I don't see the mod counters or any evidence of the mod being active.

I'm using steam version. Any idea why it's not being used? ty.

[Hubert Cater]

Very odd as I've just retested on my end and can confirm it is working as intended.

Does the MAIN MENU screen change with the mod enabled at the very least? Just trying to understand the full issue better.

Probably has to do with how and which folders you put into the mod folder. I think you have to go one folder deeper after you download.

Thanks for spotting this. I will add it to the list and make sure it's fixed in the next update.

Thank you for the mod but it would be great if the installation instructions can be clarified. I have downloaded a bunch of stuff but can't get the mod working. Here are some screenshots.

Here are 2 folders downloaded
