Is the bleached map mod v2.0 compatible with this mod?

Latest update (v4.1) is now available, the main change being the addition of all missing units. See first post for details.

Any issues, please let me know and I will address them asap.

Great Mod. A minor purely cosmetic suggestion.

The Germans start out with 109Es, then you get Gs, and then FWs.

I'd suggest a change to Ds, then Es, then Fs, and then the FWs.

As it is now, I have 109 Gs by the French campaign, and FWs by Russia.

It makes no difference in terms of play. As I said, it's purely cosmetic.

I love your mod, and use both versions.

Super work.

Thanks.

I will look at making those changes for the next update.

Edit: I'm also adding level 5 jet aircraft to all nations for consistency.

Just d/l and installed WAW.

D/L installed V4.1 of this mod.

Everything works okay except... when I turn on the land unit bases (recommended).

CTD with the following:

ERROR MESSAGE: Failed (draw_sprite_to_ buffer) SEGMENTATION VIOLATION.

That sounds like a file is not the right dimensions. I've just updated all the 2D counter files and have tried it on a fresh install and it works, so that may correct the issue.

However, I don't know what "land unit bases" are. Does it still crash if you don't turn this option on?

The land unit bases refers to the color circle that surrounds the 3D unit base in the advanced preferences options screen.

When I choose just the 3d land unit w/o the colored base...everything works fine.

Ok, thanks. It sounds like the issue is not related to my mod as it doesn't use any files used by 3D units.

Hi IronX,

I love your mod and think it's great. However I would like to use the original map as I have trouble distinguishing some features on the mod map such as swamp etc. Is it possible to use both your mod and the original map? If so, how would it be done?
Cheers.

In the first post in here this map looks fantastic, everything clear and easy to see. But when I install it it looks like the pic below. Terrain kind of blurry, no? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Country boy, I thought the same so I brightened up certain features from Welk�s Map mod. My Naval Mods all include these features. Download one and use the corresponding bitmap graphics besides the unit files (Major_01) etc.

Be sure to backup files first.

I placed the mod in the following path:

C:\Users\XXXXXX\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\Mods

You need to place it in your user directory then it should show up in the mod list

dougo33, thanks. Over thought things. I thought I had to change it for Steam.

It's working now.

Sorry to have to bug you about this, but the issue others mentioned - that the Soviet counters are not showing - is still present. At least for me. I have the newest version, even redownloaded the png to make sure. I got them in the correct folder (Major_04) too.

^ I just redownloaded it myself, checked every Soviet counter file and they are all okay. Make sure you have them installed in the campaign sub-folders too.

Oh ... my bad - because I only use the counters (keeping with the original map) I had forgotten that the Major_04 folder has got to go into the 39 Campaign folder too. All is fine now. Thanks for the great work!

I was just thinking about this too. Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to make these units do anything "alpine", like having them move faster in hilly terrain or so. I have one Italian mountain unit, but mostly because I always found it funny that it was in the desert. For the Germans I used the extra slots for Waffen-SS, Hitlerjugend and Luftwaffe field units.

IronX, First off a huge thank you for all your tremendous work on this mod. Can't play without it. I particularly like what you did with HQ attachments indicators.

Alas, the HQ range indicators and the attachment icons are not showing up. The second click on HQ does not show the pale radio towers in those hexes the HQ can supply.
I tried this with a clean install of WaW the towers are missing. By contrast this feature works perfectly in your Knights Cross mod for WiE.

I believe you've placed the WiE version of tile_highlight_sprites into the WaW version. Looking at the tile_highlight_sprites files for both Knights Cross 1.2 and Iron Cross 4.3, I found the files to be identical. Both have a 4x10 format, whereas WaW uses a 5x10 format.

Best Regards

I believe this also is the source of the issue I reported here with fighter escort/intercept ranges not showing:

I unzipped the folder to the mod folder and it shows up in the game when I go to settings and mods. But it's kind of greyed out in the mods and it does not show up.

Not sure what I did wrong here. All those files stay in the Iron_Cross_Mod_v4-3 folder right?
