PWHEX Oops

[vettim89]

Started a new game and we had some confusions whether to use the AB extended map vs the DBB modified map. We settled on the DBB map but my opponent didn't install the proper PWHEX file. Here is the image. Can we fix this? If he installs the proper file and reloads will it move everything back to where it belongs? or do we have to start over?

Yes, installing the right file should make it all work correctly.  I ran into the same problem when I started playing CHS in the original WitP.

The actual file on the PC will get used during the game.

A warning message displayed when loading a save if the current PWHEX file on PC is different to the one used by the last save.
I suspect that you both are getting the warning message.
Installing the right pwhex should make the warning go away after the next turn is loaded/saved.

The file is not included in the save in order to make map updates independent of the game code.

Vettim89,

All you need to do is reload the DBB art. BigBabes_Map_Art_and_Data.zip - on Sep 18, 2011 12:28 PM is the latest file on the website. It was updated on Sept 18 to make it just like the AB Extended Map. The AB Extended Map and DBB Modified Map are now the same.

Downloading the latest art will show things in their proper places. The map area you posted should look like this:



Your base flags are already in the right place for the latest art, so you did download the latest Sept. 18 scenario files. Likely you will need to reinstall the pwhexe, pwzlink, and pwzone, files too. You can download and install Art at any time without restarting. Same is true for the pw... data files. Just be sure you and your opponent both use the Sept. 18 BigBabes_Map_Art_and_Data.zip. Everything should work out ok.
