Blaugrana - I've used that map mod with the HITS & Couriers group as well, without issue until now, so its not to do with GCM.

My thinking now is that in the last beta patch or two, Norb added more stringent checks to catch certain mismatches or rather elevate them to "game will not run" status, because the Map_Screen mod was fine before but has only done this to me in the last week or so.

It always depends on what files are modified in a mod. You can play maps w/o changed CSV files, other may depend on which objectives are available.

In GCM we played with objectives on the map screen (so I assume that would impact the csv file) but in the HITS & Couriers group we do not play with objectives. If I am correct in understanding what you're saying your map screen mod should be more likely to cause a crash with GCM than with our group because of that.

ADukes, are you able to test your mod with some MP games yourself? I think NSD put some new stringent code in the latest couple of beta patches that is causing this. I could be wrong but that is my suspicion at the moment.

This is one of the best mods ive found - thanks so much ADukes! Do you think you'll ever extend it to include all the game maps? South Mountain etc?

Or have I just got an old version...

Hi,

Looks great but does not seem too work for me.

Running 1.4 SOW, can see the Mod in the Modification Screen and it is highlighted but in game when I bring up the Map it is the original one.

Any ideas ?

Running 1900*1080 if that helps

Many thanks

Bumped up this ancient map mod, it may prove useful to a new generation of SOW fans.
