When I tried to extract your mod into the MODS folder, there was no folder named "MapMod.WiTE.September". Just two folders named "!Backup" and "!Instlogs".

ok, to change the font you'll have to play with the 'WiteFontConfig.txt' file. you'll find a good description here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2645378 anyway, i hope jison doesn't mind... (wie die axt im walde...) just turn off the 'WiteFontConfig.txt' from jison's mapmod. you'll find the file inside the 'Dat' folder of 'MapMod.WitE.September' - put it somewhere else (eg. create a new folder and move it there).


chemkid,

It took a lot of playing around to finally get things working. Removing the above mentioned 6 files did not change the font. However, your recommendation above did the trick!!!! I now have you rainyday mod loaded and the counters are back to bold font. I can start playing this game again. Thank you!

I didn't try it but its 300MB so I am pretty sure you don't need the original.

I'll link you to his post where he says otherwise: here

I'd also love a working link for the original if anyone can upload it.

Just started playing the game and realized I need this map mod (well, Chemkid's tweak to be more precise).

Status: offline 		My apologies 821Bobo, I was simply going by the quote. Not familiar with mods for this game I have to admit.

Regarding your links, Chemkid, I can't seem to connect to either of them (just a screen full of random characters). Not sure what's happening there.
Edit: Seems to be an issue on my end; switched to google chrome and it's working now. Many thanks.

And if you want modified model graphics to go along with your beautiful new map, just check my signature (as you can see chemkid has it installed as well).

jison site that was hosted at sdc is no longer. R.I.P.

...hope he gets my email - maybe he's still able to support the wite crowd...


I opened a thread about his site on the Blitz Forums.

RE: Jison Map Mods site down?
It went offline about a week ago. Reasons are plenty, but the two biggest are that the mods are incompatible nowadays, and a knowing that there will most likely be no new mods coming due to commitments elsewhere. The site had no real purpose any longer.

Jison


Pretty disappointed about this. I do have backups of my WITE maps from Jison unfortunately I don't have backups
of his excellent Campaign Series maps.

Question for you Hagar. How did chemkid get your mod in the JSGME? The download on the page you link runs an exe which automatically saves over the vanilla files. I'd like to keep it separate if at all possible.

Status: offline 		You'd better ask chemkid, as I don't use JSGME... It's true the EXE overwrites the Vanilla files, but it comes with a full backup of all the Vanilla images in ZIP file. So nothing is truly lost, and I doubt you'd ever be reverting to the Vanilla images anyway, blurred as they are. And as far as mods for WitE go, all that I know of overwrite parts of the DAT folder, so a back-up of that folder will do for sure.

I'm with you when it comes to mods. I used JSGME for another matrix game and liked how efficient it was.

As for the mod, it's really beautiful.
