can you post a screen shot of the error message you get ?

did anyone else had this problem with the last release (V04) ?

*in the meanwhile as a work around , go to :

C:\Documents and setting\%USERNAME%\My Documents\My Games\men of war:vietnam \profiles\player

(if you use other profile go to the active profile folder)

open the file game_progress.set with a text editor(back up the file
before in case you mess things up)

find the code :

{"single/vnewmissions/vmod2:0"

and add below it :
{completed}

then save and exit .

(you can see how it's done in the file itself with missions you all ready
finished,just imitate how it was done in previous missions )

anyway,that should open up the third mission in the game for you .

Men of peace i sent you a pm,with updated mission link.

[Men Of Peace]

much much better ugopierini , good work .

so what about the map ? you want me to change it up a bit ?
(only map not the mission and not the mission main locations)
let me know, I'll release it in the next release .

I'll add in the read me file the name of each mission and who made it ,
so everyone will get credit (everyone at the moment is me and you
but everyone are welcome to contribute,we can make this community
project).

last thing , why did you added the AT grenades files ? they are all
ready in the game .

[ugopierini]

I'll think about map modifications . What's your idea?
I added AT grenades from the new Assault squad patch (Better icons).

Hello, wanted to know if anyone could do a We Were Solders mod based on the Ir Drang valley, I have attached a link to a order of battle and the events that took place at LZ XRAY and LZ ALBANY

This request is made by the Vietnam War Living History Group, We would like to thank you for the missions, that you have created and would love for you to continue your work, most of us have already finished the all of the single player missions that came with the game and would love to have more challenges, it is because of you guys that we still play this awsome game.

Thank you guys

Well... my idea is anything that will make the map look fresher,
because like i said people all ready played this map on the original
campaign, and on a slightly modified version of it in my first mission .

anything goes , maybe to change the path of the river a bit (not the
bridge area) shave a few hills here ,add a few hills there ,make the village
a village and not 2 houses,change roads locations etc.

thomas ,this seems to be Direct3D related ,try to update your
video drivers or DirectX , also it seems you are the only one
that reported this problem so far , and that increase the chances
that the problem is on your end .

If anyone else had this problem,please let me know .

Hey Dude you really rock, We here at the Vietnam War Living History commnity really appreciate your outstanding work, think you for even considring our request, my wife is vietnamese while she live through the 1968 Tet, I watched on the news, before I went to the Army later, in late 70's, but I did not go to Vietnam, I serverd as grunt as a 60 Gunner for about 5 years. Again thank you for your contribution to the cause of the Vietnam Vets and all Vets.

[Man o' war]

Nice mission Men Of Peace! I really enyojed playing it! I just wish I could've played the 2nd and 3rd mission... The 2nd one just crashes... and the 3rd one doesn't show up at all

Anyways...
I've been making good progress on the map, I just need 1 simple favour from you: can you tell me about the triggers that allowed you in the last russian mission to blow up those arty guns? You place a c4 in it and an icon appears to blow up the gun?

Well, I was actually thinking of making like a mini-campaign of 3 missions;
The first one (pictures) is gonna be played at night. Your convoy gets ambushed and your team are the only survivors. Then HQ gives you a top secret mission:CLASSIFIED and there are more mysteries to come as you try to destroy the enemy secret underground facility...

The 2nd one would be underground and it's gonna take a while to be built and all that but basically you are gonna try to destroy the weapons and prototypes and that....

The 3rd one will be in the morning; you get outside, you try to defend yourselves aginst an entire enemy army while waiting for evacuation...

So, what do you think?

at least you managed to play the 3&4 missions .


what version of the game you have ? special/steam ?
this question goes to Man o' war as well .

i might over did the details in that map ,it's real heavy compared to the
rest of the maps , what computer rigs you 2 have ?

trying to understand the cause of this , as far as i know most people
didn't had problems running it .
