Matrix Games Forums

New version now available (see first page).

This mod looks great, nice work.

I see you couldn't help adding some stuff[:)]. i like the move here cost thing and the flags. One small thing for me is the water being so pale the white text labeling the bodies of water and the transfer zones is kind of hard to see. I think the water could use a bit more color. Thanks for your work.

Really nice!!!

How would this work in PBEM++ games? Would opponents also have to have the mod installed for it to work in multiplayer games?

nope, its just a graphics mod, i've never had any problems.

Could someone post the screenshots of the new map? Thanks.

Thanks. Could you highlight what are the main changes as compared to the Welk's mod? At the first glance I don't see may differences.

Fantastic mod love it thanks for its. It works greats.[&o]

Hello somebody can tell me how to install that great mod,in wich folder i need to put in plz it will be awsome to get help tkx!!!

Just download the file and the instructions are included. It's very straightforward.

Love the new map. I kept the original tile highlights though as the new ones make the game a bit 'busy' for me. Nice idea though.

Thanks,
Chris

I installed the mod today, and I'm no computer maven. First I extracted the following folders from the download to my desktop: Bitmaps, Campaigns, Interface and Sound. I then copied the original folders from the WaW location -- Windows (C):>Program Files (x86)>Matrix Games and dropped them into a new file I created on my desktop (for safekeeping in case something goes kerflooey) -- be careful with these folders as you have a new set and an old set of the same names, which is why it's important to put the originals in their own folder or other location. Then copy the new folders into WaW at the location where the originals came from. That's it.

An anomaly from v3-1 and v3-2. Some unit icons disappear in the Editor. An example below. Any ideas why or how to correct? Everything is fine when playing the game. In the Editor, the units are "there" and editable, but the 2-D images are missing.

That's because I was lazy and didn't duplicate the counters. By default, the game uses only the first six images in a row of 12. It has something to do with having the ability to change the facing of units in the editor.

Edit: Okay, I've duplicated the counters so that they should now show up in the editor. They still face the same way but at least they are there. I did this pretty quickly and haven't fully tested it so if there are mistakes, let me know.

Great work, like the new storm graphics, did you adjust the rain graphics also, they look nice.
Thank you for your work.

Thanks IronX - I'll give it a try shortly.

I was going to write a script to swap in the original graphics for the editor, then put yours back to play the game.

IronX: the Soviets were still not showing up after your v3.3 update. As was mentioned earlier, there is a second Major_04 folder within the scenario Bitmaps folder. When I copied your updated unit_sprites_nato files to that folder, the Soviet units reappeared properly. Thanks again for your excellent mod.

Sorry about that. I've updated the files. Hopefully, it's all fixed now.

In looking at the 1939 scenario I didn't see an image for Soviet rail guns.

Do I need to update the mod, or is that still on the to-do list?

Rail guns now added to Soviet unit counters in both the Bitmaps and Campaigns folders.

I've renamed the update to 3.4 (although it also includes changes made in 3.3).
