Nik Mod 5.02

[Nikademus]

Apparantly my little blurb in the 5.0 thread has been missed by a couple people so i'll re-post the announcement here so that its more visible. Apologies for any confusion caused. Next update will have a number.

Errata: (latest correction in bold)

- P-51D DUR was not altered from stock - Fixed

- Martlet II availability was different in scenario 13 than stock version of the Grand Campaign (scn 15) causing it to be avail in 12/42 when the 42A scenario mod has it deployed on carriers in 5/42. Result was no replacements for the UK carriers armed with this plane type. - Fixed

- TBD DUR not in sync for both scenarios. – Fixed

- Hurricane IIc not being listed as a valid upgrade type for UK fighter bomber squadrons –Fixed

The conversion of this mod to Andrew Browns map is available at his site here;

http://www.bur.st/~akbrown/witp/scenarios.html

included in the download

Im running the Nick 5.02 file converted by Andrew for his new map 5.0. Its called scenario 140 I believe.

I've encountered problems. 1. Aircraft have the wrong pictures and the bases on formosa do not have the correct location for the map.

Any ideas if its the origional nick file, the andrew conversion or the new andrew map?

BTW the map is wonderful.

[Nikademus]

shouldn't be the original mod files. I did not change any of the art bitmaps and have seen no issues in my copies nor from anyone else playing it. Are you using an Art mod like Elf's CHS planetops?

I have never had any art problems with your excellent mod, but I do have 2 23rd Engr Rgt. one at Moppo the other at Samah is that correct, there not fragments both full strength units.

probably a duplicate in the OOB. I'll add it to the addenum list.

thx!

when I use this link I still get the AB for Nik 4.0[&:]

[Nikademus]

download? or the page?

page says version 5

[ckk]

something wrong at Andrews but I just got it at rogues's Thanks

[Sardaukar]

Are NikMod5.02 and 42 scen for Anrew Brown's map or for standard map ? Or should I just RTFM ? [:'(]

[Nikademus]

to my knowledge only the Grand campaign version is converted to Andrew's map (scen 40)

[Sardaukar]

Ah !! No problem, I have both installed, just don't want to mess with wrong maps [;)].

Nik

I using subchaser's map because as far as I know AB hasn't converted the 5/42 mod. The only anomaly I've found is the the replacement rate for the Wirraway is 140!!!!!!??????

[Nikademus]

so it is.

looks like a boo boo carried over from stock 42A scen as it has the same replacement rate.

adding it to the addenum list.

thx!

[ckk]

no problem unless we can use them as kamikaze's[:D]

[Cathartes]

high learning curve newb here and really interested in 5.02 from what I've read...

Which version of WITP I should be running (currently at 1.6)? Based on Nik Mod readme it seems I need beta 1.7x patch because of ASW changes. Please advise.

[Nikademus]

I recommend the 1.7x beta because it has the new ASW routines and 5.0 of my mod removed my prior ASW adjustment. You can still use it with the official version of WitP though if you choose too.

[mr reed]

ok so one stupid question maybe [;)] if i use your mod Nik 5.02 and latest beta patch ca i use andrew's map or stock map? You say in the 5.02 readme (correct me if i m wrong) Sea hurris and Albacore replaced Fulmars and Sea Glads... what Alliedplanes sides and Atops should i use ? Stock ones still show both Fulmars and Sea Glads ! would it be more approriate to use the files provided in CHS1?
