New add ons from Matrix Antietam and Pipe Creek

Post by deatone »

Anybody get these to work. I can't get any of them to play. The screen just goes blank? The regular Gettysburg scenarios play fine.

D,

I think we need a little more info.

Is this a new installation? Did you just purchase those MPs?

Let's start there.

we played a couple of antietam maps list night with no problems though the foxes gap map we played crashed about an hour in for all of us.

deatone ,

Can you also post your SOWGB.log text file that is in your Matrix --> Scourge of War-Gettysburg --> Work folder.

This file will ususlly point in the direction of the problem.

Here it is. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas on what I should do. I installed the patch from Matrix to the original game and then installed both of the new add ons.

Just checked the log...MAJOR PROBS, OLD MODS

Delete Bugles and Flags v4, get v10. Also, Divinci's Blue and Gray mod is buggy...lose it. Sorry D, this is a fact. I know that you think it's OK unpacked, but I think otherwise.

Something went wrong in the installation did the installer ask for the activation code for both add-ons ?

Hey deatone

00:47:33 Mod: C:\NORBSOFTDEV\SCOURGE OF WAR - GETTYSBURG\Mods\Blue & Grey Mod
00:47:33 Mod: C:\NORBSOFTDEV\SCOURGE OF WAR - GETTYSBURG\Mods\Bugles and Flags v04

Here is your problem, you are running an old version of Bugles & Flags, it is up to Version 10 / link below:

http://www.norbsoftdev.com/forum/modifi ... -flags-v10

And I am not sure if this "Blue & Grey Mod" is able to run on this version of SOW.

Disable the "Blue & Grey Mod" and update and Enable "Bugles and Flags V10" ...

This should work for you...

;)

LittlePowell,
'Released Mod Threads' needs an overhaul. Lots of outdated links there that will crash 1.5 users. For one I found that Bugles and Flags v08 is still linked to the download. Please delete this. And change the 09 version to read v10...the thread is updated.

Suggestion: All these links should go to threads, not to a linked download. This way the modders can update their threads, but have no control if a download link comes up from 'Released Mod Threads'

Thanks
