Getting back into WITP after 13 years

[Dereck]

I've been away from War in the pacific since 2012 and I'm getting interested again. My "old" version is 1.120b from 2012 and I installed 1.126a today.

I have a few question I hopefully can get answered.

1. I have a custom scenario - no map updates but added ships and probably modified some locations. Will the scenario still work with 1.126a or will I need to update?

2. I'm not sure if all the files copied over when I moved from a laptop to desktop years ago but what add-ons are recommended, e.g. WipTracker, etc. And, where would I be able to get the latest versions?

3. I looked but most likely missed it but where would I find a list of command line flags? I currently only use -w but I think others may be appropriate now. (May have more questions on this about the optimal set up).

Thanks

I suggest using Seabee to make your command line and shortcut.

The scenario should still work.

Comparing my old scenario with the ones in the new patch I noticed 4 discrepencies:

The following locations were in my scenario but they aren't in the patch scenarios:
1. Bremerton
2. Camp Pendleton
3. Baler, PI
4. Digos, PI

Will they become locations on the new map because they are listed in the locations in my old scenario?

I do not know. That scenario was from before I bought the game. But if you have all of the map data, you can use the scenario. If not, it may give you a warning and then adjust. The only advice that I can give is to try it and see.

I guess I will have to see what happens. It looks like they got rid of Bremerton and moved everything to Seattle.

Thanks for your help

You are most welcome.

The most current build (1.8.11.28.4) does have the Bremerton naval base present in the 41-45 campaign game

I am playing 1126a, using the Kami map mod and DaBigBabes scenario and Bremerton is there and usable.

Welcome back!

You'll find the same usual rabble around here-plus a few bonus faces. Things have slowed down lots, but there's a goodly number of old salts here still.

He's not the only one coming back after over a decade away, I just built a new PC and WitP:AE was one of the first programs I loaded.

Can't wait to get back into this.

I am getting ready to jump back in after being gone for 5 years. My early retirement was supposed to enable more WitP but it resulted in less. Just starting to look into what has changed myself.
