Status: offline 		Hello I am back after a few years off of playing this great game. Found the new map and love it, also found a really nice font system I like to use (counters pop out for my old eyes and I am an old board war gamer still).

Here are two screen shots.

Zoomed out:

Still catching up on all the new changes, new tactics and still love this game...

Not sure if the images will post (been a few years and I forgot how so below are the direct URL links):

Status: offline 		I downloaded the mapmod file for wite and installed it per the instructions. The mod over wrote the original files and the graphics look like they are there but when I launch from my desktop it is the original map. The exe file in the modified wite folder crashes and says its not compatible wit the serial number. There is no forum support for the mod anywhere that I can see. What am I doing wrong?

That is what I used and it works just fine. Currently running the exe of .13/11

Downloaded and am using the Mapmod mod and it has crashed the game twice now. It just happened for the second time right on the middle of a new game. Seems to be some definite bugs with this Mod. User beware.

Whoa.

The mod is a visual mod only, meaning it just replaces old images with new images – it doesnt delete or alter anything. So if installed right, the mod simply cant crash your game.

Often people want to make backups of certain game folders before they install a mod – but instead of copying a folder they accidently move it instead, resulting in game crashes since files and/or folders are missing. This is a very easy mistake to make, I have done it myself.

The mod has been downloaded countless times during the last seven or so month, so it is thoroughly tested, and only one person have reported a similar problem – but that turned out to be a moved folder, so the mod was not to blame.

Whatever the problem is, I hope you figure it out.


Jison

Status: offline 		So in other words, after I made a copy of the original unzipped files I created a new folder called (for lack of better words):

E:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East\MODS\MapMod.WitE.September.Map.Only

In this directory I left all the original files as:

E:\Matrix Games\Gary Grigsby's War in the East\MODS\MapMod.WitE.September.Map.Only\Dat\Art

But I only kept the jumpmap file and onoly the Zoom directories and files, and deleted all the other directories.

Then using the Mod swapper, apply it (just this mod) thus using the new map and keeping the existing counters and UI.
