Scourge of War Boards

ok, I had to get a new PC and lost many of the SOW Mods i'd collected over the last year +...and ended up buying the SOW Anniv edition and kind of starting over...but, I would like to get two of these back, so if anyone can:

(a) list for me the exact files/mods I need (and where to get them) for the Napoleonic Mods and also the Mexican War Mod it would REALLY be appreciated

(b) where exactly do I put these (if it's other than the "Mod" folder)?

(c) and, if/when I get these and install them is there anything else I need to "turn on" in order to use them?

Re: the Mexican War mod...I was told the " Kriegspiel" download was needed to play the Mexican War. I found 1 download link here, but you need to download through "media _ _ _"(??), and the files that come with it are malware and infected my PC (took about 30-40 min to remove everything)...so where can I simply find the file I need (minus the crap)? (smile)

thanks! john

Look under the index>Napoleonic mode (at top of page. This will give you most, if not all, of what you need for running the 1836 Mexican War. All fit under your mods tab. Obviously, the Napoleonic mods are also scattered under the "Napoleonic Mods" heading. If you need , for any reason, to download from MediaFire, be sure to read the referent for each green download button. The site is a master at bait & switch.It's better to cancel a download if you don't know what it refers to, & re-do it several times, than to screw up your computer. I have never had a problem, even though I don't like using MediaFire for that very reason. My security software generally gives me a warning if I'm near danger.

thanks don...I know from prior exp though that there's a lot more mods listed under "Napoleonic" than what's really needed, so I was hoping for a short/concise list...and, I did check all those boxes and did not download all the 'add-ons' mediafire wanted me to take; the malware was in the actual .7zip file...

To be clear....are you suggesting there is malware in my Mexico mod?

There shouldn't be nor have I found any in the nap mods I've used to date.

no...no...the malware is in the download file that comes from "mediafire"...I was careful when I downloaded from them, and actually had to select "not to opt in" for all the extra crap they wanted to send along...but still, when extracting your file from their downloaded file, there was malware for sure...

is there any other place/way I can get your file? i'd love to use it, and obv know there's nothing wrong with your file...but I won't use mediafire again...any suggestions?

JohnVW - sorry to hear you're having problems but it seems odd. I just used the latest link (which is the updated v2.00)in this thread

http://www.norbsoftdev.net/forum/modifi ... 36-testing

Downloaded fine from MF with no offer of unwanted extras. Scanned with my virus checker (webroot). No threats detected.

Has anyone else had problems?

I don't have access to any other free sharing sites, unless someone can recommend an alternative.

other than this extracted file, what else do I need to have to run your Mexican War mod?

JohnVW -- you need the Road to Wagram mod and the Kriegspiel add-on. It's all covered in the Readme in the thread I linked to.

I believe both of these mods are stickied in the Nap part of the mod forum.

Hope that helps.

Not sure why you're not hooked up with the NSD server which allows uploads that are available for forum downloads, since you are permitted to build maps with NSD restricted apps. I suggest you PM Norb for access.

I have the Road to Wagram, but can't find anything called "Kriegspiel add-on"?
