Load Red Tide in Orginal Men of War

[deafening]

I created a mod that would allow me to load all of Red Tide's content into the original Men of War. It is very easy to do.

This will allow you to open up the new maps in the editor and check out the new units!

To create the mod, follow steps:
1. Create a "mods" folder in the Men of War directory (e.g. c:\men of war\mods)
2. Create a folder inside the "mods" folder called "Red Tide mod".
3. Open notepad and paste the following:

{mod
{name "Red Tide mod"}
{desc "Red Tide's content"}
}

Save as "mod.info" in the newly created folder.

4. Copy the "resource" folder from the Red Tide's directory. Paste it into the "Red Tide mod" folder.
5. Copy the "localization.pak" and "MoWRTGDF.dll" files from the Red Tide's directory. Paste it into the "Red Tide mod" folder.
6. Launch Men of War. go to Options -> mods. Activate "Red Tide mod"

Now exit the game, launch the editor and enjoy!

I don't think the game developers will like this.

But thanks, I'll try it when I get time.

Well as long as you have paid for it, it has to be okay. But is Red Tide more updated than the original?

Yes, it has Romanians, lots of Russians, some new German stuff. Haven't beat all of it yet but I heard something about Italians I believe.
New tanks, guns, planes, and cool naval units.

Your right, we have paid for it. But if someone releases the content to people who haven't there is going to be a lot of debate and frustration. Keep it to yourself guys, don't release the mod to people who haven't paid.

Also, I assume there are going to be updates for Red Tide, so if you do make a mod you should update it too when a patch comes out.

Just go to where you first started after your done with all your primary objectives. You should win the mission.

The name in the mod.info file must be the same name as the folder.

Folder = Red Tide mod

{mod
{name "Red Tide mod"} << same name as folder.
{desc "Red Tide's content"} << This is just a description, can be whatever.
}

OR

Is your mod.info a text document? When you are in explorer, in detail view, does it say Text Document under file type? If so, you need to go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View and uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types" and rename the mod.info.txt to mod.info

Hope that helps!

Ok, created the folder and mod file, moved the stuff i was supposed to move and i get the error message below when i try and load the mod Any ideas?





<P.S> Tried it with a fully updated install 1.17.5 and the vanilla install both with same result.

When I first used the mod, I used Standard RT and 1.13 MoW. The new patch must have something to do with it.
