Hi, I just picked up this game and am eager to try the KS mod.  Unfortunately, I'm having quite a hard time just unpacking the z7 files; the map  files unpacked OK, but the others seem to take hours and then hang/crash.  I've tried unpacking with WinOpener and 7Z Opener--is there a better way to go about this?

[EDIT] Nevermind, unpacked them with the 7-zip program (I can't post a link) and it only took a few minutes....

Hi and welcome to the zany world of the KS Mod where the AI is smarter than you... Yep, 7-zip is pretty much the best tool for opening .7z files, as you've discovered.

What timezone are you in? We always welcome new players to our regular MP games which take place on Fridays, Sundays and Wednesdays at 19:00 GMT. Don't worry if you think you are not an expert, playing MP is the best way to learn.

I'm East Coast US. I might be up for a game soon, but at the moment I'm completely lost...still trying to figure out how to get units to move, etc.  I've watched several of DarkRob's videos but it looks like I need a refresher!

Each of the necessary 3 mods comes as a separate archive to download. Once you have them on your PC, navigate to where they are in Windows Explorer and double click the icons to open them. Winzip may be sufficient or you may need Winrar.

Then extract the contents of each archive directly into the Mods folder of Scourge of War - Waterloo. If you don't yet have a Mods folder, create one and unpack the archived files into it. You should end up with a directory that looks like this:

Set Up for SOWWL NAPOLEON GAMES For Kriegspiel style - Page 16 KS

Make sure your mod folders are named EXACTLY like that and also make sure that after you unpacked the mods from the archive there is NOT a second level of folders with the same names! This is an issue with Winzip and Winrar and can happen when you select the "extract to" option. If you just drag and drop the files across you won't get this problem.

No, which one are you having problems with? It's possible you are trying to use one which requires a map from SOWGB. The scenario description will tell you if that's the case.

If so, here is what to do.
1. In the Mods folder of SOWWL create a folder called SOWGB lsl Files.
2. Inside that folder create another folder named Maps.
3.Now open up your Scourge of War Gettysburg folder. Then open the folder named Base. Then open the folder named Maps.
4. Copy all the files you see there with the extension lsl to the SOWWL\Mods\SOWGB lsl FIles\Maps folder.
5. Start SOWWL and select that mod to be active.
If you have all the DLCs for SOWGB, the scenario should run.

Heya,

I played all scenarios of the standard SOWWL game (with Grog expanded toolbar). I am now ready to try the KS mod. So I read all 16 pages of this thread and I downloaded and installed all three mods required (well, at least I think I did!). I checked the three mods and restarted the game.

Then I launched the game again and played a scenario (Ligny's attack by the french guard) from the user's scenarios. Somehow, I dont think I'm playing the KS mod at all. The artillery seems less powerful and I did not notice or feel anything special.

Is there a way to confirm that I'm playing the KS mod?

Thanks in advance.

You can't play the stock scenarios without a little work.
In the mods folder, create a folder named Stock Scenarios.
Inside that create another folder named scenarios.
Go to the DLC folder and then to the Ligny folder and then to the scenarios folder.
Copy all the scenario folders in there to the scenarios folder you just created.
Rename the scenario folders from LG01..., LG02..,etc to KSLG01..., KSLG02..., etc.
Start the game, go to the mods screen and select the Stock Scenarios mod.
Then go to the User Scenarios screen and select on of the renamed scenarios. You should see the KS mod screens and toolbar.

It was something else actually, I did not even see the KS scenarios. But I solved my problem.

I have two other questions however: when I pick a scenario, I dont see any description of it. Is that normal? And if I pick KS Autrian #1, for instance, I should play on the austrian side right?

Thanks again.

P.S. Alright, I answered both of my questions above I believe. The description of a scenario can be found in the folder of that scenario, along with the OOB, the map and the starting location of the army. But should all of this appear in game? In other words, is there something wrong with my install?

And of course, another question came up Very Happy . Why cant I see any building in the scenario (KS Austrian2)? I see some 'squares of rocks' which I believe should be buildings but it looks more like the remnants of them. Again, is there something wrong with my install?

P.P.S. I checked with some other scenarios and I could see every buildings. The problem seems to be with that first map on which is played KS Austrian1 and KS Austrian2 - maybe more, I haven't had time to check them all. So is it with this map only or with other maps as well?

Hi Camrik and welcome to the forums. Might you be interested in joining us for an MP game some time?

SoWWL has no function to display a map in a briefing, so the KS scenarios are an improvement on the base game in that respect. The scenario description as well as being in the KS scenario folder also displays in the upper right panel of the 'choose commander' screen. The OOB also shows in the lower right panel of that screen but again the KS mod carries a full OOB in the scenario folder so a player can learn more about his forces. Yes, when a KS scenario lists a nationality in the scenario name, that is the side the player should command, or take a command in.

Some of our maps do not yet have any buildings. These were imported from a mod for SoW:Gettysburg and were generated by a guy who was very active in the SoW community several years ago. We imported them and gave them jpeg maps with European names. It is our intention to populate these fictional maps with buildings in due course but its a slow task. You will see that the stone enclosures give a terrain protection of 'buildings' when you place the flag of a unit in them and at the moment on these maps this is the only defensive function of these "towns".

Thank you for the quick answer! I need to get some more practice before I join you online. Do you play from the saddle when you play mp? I haven't tried it yet.

Yes we do, and everyone says the same as you, but we are very non-competitive and we all lose vs the AI frequently so your best place to get practice in is to join us and take a small command to begin with - an infantry brigade of about 4 battalions is a frequent starting point. You certainly won't get belittled at all for getting your command destroyed since that happens to us veterans quite a bit and we've been playing since SOWWL came out, plus about 4 years of the Nap Mod for Gettysburg prior to that.

As we have gained experience Kevin has engineered the AI to get more cunning and ruthless. Plus he is a sadist when it comes to writing scenarios.

A complete exaggeration, don't believe a word of it. Most scenarios are akin to a leisurely walk in the park. Twisted Evil

And yet another question!

Is there a way in game to know which kind of cavalry you are commanding, i.e. light, lanciers, heavy, medium, etc.?

Thanks again!

In game, light cavalry are hussars, chasseurs, cheval legere, light dragoons, Cossacks. Medium cavalry is usually dragoons. Heavy cavalry are cuirassiers, grenadiers a cheval, life guard. Any heavy cavalry will not have the scout button present on the orders tab.
