LV Snd & Shp files-VERY IMPORTANT

[Grenadier]

There are sound files that play for each node when you click on the line"rad Reports and Select options. They range in length from 15 seconds to 1.30 minutes and consist of music fanfares, songs, OKW communiques in English and German , speeches and very important briefings to Hauptmann Vebber.
If you are not hearing these sound files then check for a nested folder in the Lost Victories folder named Snd or in the Megacam folder. Move the contents of the Snd folder and put them in the main Snd Folder of SPWaW
.
The wav files for Lost Victories all start with 11xxx. There should be 86 all together
example
main theme 11000
node 1-11001-starts with "Hauptmann Vebber,acknowledge"
node 2-11002-Goebbels speech with an introduction

Another feature unique to both Lost Victories and Watchtower are special graphics that place abandoned and wrecked tanks, guns, trucks and airplanes on the map of many of the nodes and also the feature of being able to destroy the abandoned material and strafe aircraft on the ground.

There is a folder named Shp that comes with Lost Victorries and watchtower. The contents of the Shp folder must be in the main Shp Folder of SPWaW as well or you will not see the aircraft and abandoned Soviet tanks in the nodes. The Watchtower patch is the file set to use as it has both LV and Watchtower shp files.

There are 4 terr86 files that will overwrite the original terr 86 files. To check for the correct files go to the map editor and type A then shift-1 which gives you access to the special MC icons. type in a number from 100 to 130, the first 15 are for Lost Victories and the next 15 are for Watchtower.

For Lost Victories the first node which use the special graphics is "Vebber Takes the Point"
