Released Mod Index

This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

Here's my next (incredibly n00b question) -- now that I have the mods, and I click play, on, say, #3. I go into the game and activate the textured minimaps and #3 mod. I can now play with the OOB from, say, Antietam, but have to choose a Gettysburg based map to play on, correct?

Just want to make sure I understand how this all works. I presume that at some point we might be able to make maps of, say, Antietam or Chickamaugua or Shiloh, no?

The mods right now are just OOB mods and the textured minimaps mod. SOWGB doesn't allow map modding, and from what I gather it won't for a while.

if it works, after it downloads (after the progress bar fills up and disappears) it should start the install wizard automatically.

Garnier, in the future, is this going to be the only way to download the sow game patches?

If so that stinks. I use a download manager, and forcing me to use your mod updater for a 100 meg patch is allot to ask. If my connection get's interrupted I have to start from scratch, which is something I'm not willing to accept, period.

If your mod updater is a additional way to download the patches, fine, great addition to the sow util community.

Please clarify your position on this.

It's up to norb how he distributes the patches. The updater is an extra thing that I did. All the updater does is download the patch from the link norb posted, so if he didn't post a public link the updater wouldn't have it either.
