I'm flying it in direct control, press space and it just appears on the ground in a blink and it won't stop moving. If i cancel direct control, it just moves in circles very fast...)

The 2nd problem is that the special soldiers (John Merril, Carl Dillan, etc.) have no names in the bottom left corner of the screen; it's just their picture and it doesn't write "John Merril" or some other guy...

The 3rd problem is that all soldiers have no breed; It says: desc/human/singleplayer/etc...

I think I'm gonna need your help with the editor once again... :(

Also, I started making a new map, I'm still working on it but when it's done i'll get a few pics here... :)

Sorry for the long reply but I was out of town for a while...

welcome back Man o' war , yes inside the editor the helicopters act
like planes , there might be a fix for that in the future , but not at the
moment ,but inside the game it works fine ,and that's the important
thing , so you create in the editor and test and play in the game ,it's less
convenient then what we used to ,but at least it works .

same goes for your second and third problem , if it works in the
editor , i mean if the hero is there and working,you just dont see his
portrait,if the breeds are there just not displayed correctly
in the editor , (if they are not there at all you forgot to import
the files from the game.pak) then when you'll test it back in game
all the missing details wont be missing .

spray and pray made excellent explanation on his web site ,check
it out .

check your actor state commands for that group of soldiers ,maybe
you've mistakenly set them to stand.

I have finished the first mission "Final Stand", it was awesome but I'm not able to run the second mission "Killing Fields".

When I press the "spacebar" to continue, the screen went blank and I press again, it close the whole program. Anyone have this error? I love this mod and please help.

did anyone else had this problem with the last release (V04) ?

*in the meanwhile as a work around , go to :

C:\Documents and setting\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\men of war:vietnam \profiles\player

(if you use other profile go to the active profile folder)

open the file game_progress.set with a text editor(back up the file
before in case you mess things up)

find the code :

{"single/vnewmissions/vmod2:0"

and add below it :
{completed}

then save and exit .

(you can see how it's done in the file itself with missions you all ready
finished,just imitate how it was done in previous missions )

anyway,that should open up the third mission in the game for you .

Men of peace i sent you a pm,with updated mission link.

much much better ugopierini , good work .

so what about the map ? you want me to change it up a bit ?
(only map not the mission and not the mission main locations)
let me know, I'll release it in the next release .

I'll add in the read me file the name of each mission and who made it ,
so everyone will get credit (everyone at the moment is me and you
but everyone are welcome to contribute,we can make this community
project).

last thing , why did you added the AT grenades files ? they are all
ready in the game .

I'll think about map modifications . What's your idea?
I added AT grenades from the new Assault squad patch (Better icons).

Hello, wanted to know if anyone could do a We Were Solders mod based on the Ir Drang valley, I have attached a link to a order of battle and the events that took place at LZ XRAY and LZ ALBANY

http://www.wtj.com/articles/xray/

This request is made by the Vietnam War Living History Group, We would like to thank you for the missions, that you have created and would love for you to continue your work, most of us have already finished the all of the single player missions that came with the game and would love to have more challenges, it is because of you guys that we still play this awsome game.

Thank you guys
