hmm, so you are the second person that have the second mission crash ,
you tried the last version (v4) ? try to delete the previous mod folder and
drag the newer one from the v04 rar and see if there is any difference .

what version of the game do you have ?

if anyone else had this problem let me know ...

to open the third mission try this 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 )

haven't looked at it , might do that later on if I'll have time ,will
let you know when/if.

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?

sounds good ,pretty ambitious ,prototypes ? as in you plan
to add new models to the game ?

Just started both missions. Working great. I only played a couple minutes, but had no problems. I did notice a couple Enemy soldiers were blue, that was the first two that you encounter and that was in "Crime Scene". I can't wait to give them my full attention! Thanks for the Hard Work!

[ugopierini]

Ok I will try to add descriction and screenshots soon. kane1 for blue you mean completly blue (without a proper texture)? Men of peace no prob for the map if i have time i will add something by myself. Tnx.

[kane1]

Yes that's right(just 2 guys), other then that plays great. Good Job!!

Thanks for the confirmation kane .

Yeah there are 2 blue soldiers in that mission ,but like you said it's
only 2 guys so ,nothing major.

ugopierini ,You plan to make more missions ?

[ugopierini]

Strange about those 2 men? I don't understand why . It happened to me when i imported incompatible custom men war missions in men of war AS.
Men of peace it's only a matter of time. I'm quite busy at the moment. I have added a few buildings in the map, i'm thinking about other possible improvements and then i will send you the updated version. P.S. I'm adding a elevated wooden bridge(small_bridge) but i've problems in merging all parts together.
