I guess I am wondering if your future maps will have even more units on the field at once?

Thanks man ,about the question , well, some will some wont, i am planing
to include in future maps some epic battles with very large numbers of units , my rig is about the same as yours just not overclocked and it runs
smoothly much larger battles ,maybe tune the setting down a bit ?

Anyway, about the editor...

I have been able to make some progress: I copied the files from the MOWV "resource" file (Copied everything except the game.pak file) and paste it to the mod "resource" file and now in the editor I can see the new units and vehicles but I can't even select them and the skin of the new units is black and white squares AND I cannot use any of the weapons...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

about the editor .
black&white squares means you didn't imported the needed files from
the textures pak ,cannot use weapons means you didn't imported the
needed files from the game.pak (assuming you already imported the models).

Black and white squares have been solved: I copied all the .pak files except the "game.pak" to /Men Of War/mods/vnewmissions/resource and i have all the skins.

Every time I pick up a weapon it turns into "!" with a circle around it...

Can you please tell me which files are needed from the game.pak file? I know it's probably boring and such, but I would appreciate it very much...

And what about the vehicles? I can use only a few of them: GAZ Jeep, Williys Jeep, M24 Chaffe tank and IL-2 Airplane...

I will try to get a few pictures to show you...

Men Of Peace thank you very much, but no more need for you to try and help me!

I found the answer here: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=26322, in spray_n_pray's post!

But I will be glad to play ALL of your missions cause they are freakin' awesome!!

Thanks again for all of your help to help me make the editor work!

PS: Does anyone know how to take off with the helicopter? Cause when I land with it and then try to take off it flies on the ground

Hey Men Of Peace!

I was wondering now that i have the editor working if I can give you some ideas, maps, etc.

Of course, I will understand if you don't want me to do that.

(I'm also using the singleplayer MOW:V maps, but I will try to create a few of my own, and I will gladly accept all of your ideas and try to get them to work if you don't have the time and/or don't want to make 'em )

Update :

The second mission is up .

In the second mission you play on the US side , assisting and leading
assault on a village ,and dealing with other sort of nasty surprises .

If you always wondered if it's a good idea to use a flamethrower as
a weapon in the jungle ,play this mission and find out !
hope you enjoy .

here's the download link for the new version :

http://www.datafilehost.com/download-d69cf0ca.html

or

http://www.mediafire.com/?d1svl3kgyslavgw


here's the read me :

1. Extract inside MOW:Vietnam main folder .
(or drag the mods folder to MOW:Vietnam main folder .)

2.open C:\Documents and setting\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\men of war:vietnam \profiles\player
backup and move the options.set file to other folder,and then replace it with the options.set
file that came in the zip .

3.open MOW:V go to select campaign and start playing.


If you all ready installed previous version of this mod,
repeat step one and confirm overwrite previous files in the mod folder.

man o war ,glad to hear that you found the answers and it works for you,
feel free to send me ideas but dont get offend if i dont use them .
you probably found that by now but you press space on direct control
to take off , i think you should definitely make some missions/maps of
your own and release them ,variety is a good thing ,you have experience
with the gem editor ? you made missions in the past ?

I did everything twice to make sure including deleting the old mod folder first, but I am still seeing the same mission " Smell of Napalm" that you did last time. Can you double check that the old mission isnt inside your new rar file? I'm pretty sure I did everything properly. Looking forward to playing it!

hello force10 , Smell of napalm is the name of the campaign, click it and you
should be able to see the old mission (final stand) and below it the new
mission (killing fields) .

Don't worry, I won't get offended cause I'm not very good with the editor; I mean I know the basics and the triggering (not all the triggering but the basics ) and waypoints, zones, etc.

I did make a few missions, but I only played them in the editor as I didn't know how to put them in the game... (those missions are now gone as I had to reinstall the game and I didn't keep my saves)

About the helicopter: I know how to take off, but there are a few problems with the editor: the helicopter flies like an airplane (it doesn't take off vertically) and you can't land it (eg. 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...

Ok but now i have a new problem. After the village battle something odd happens: men who patrol the base and those wounded stand up and don't move also if attacked. I'm looking for the trigger error.

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.
