you probably found that by now but you press space on direct control
to take off , i think you should definitely make some missions/maps of
your own and release them ,variety is a good thing ,you have experience
with the gem editor ? you made missions in the past ?

Don't worry, I won't get offended cause I'm not very good with the editor; I mean I know the basics and the triggering (not all the triggering but the basics ) and waypoints, zones, etc.

I did make a few missions, but I only played them in the editor as I didn't know how to put them in the game... (those missions are now gone as I had to reinstall the game and I didn't keep my saves)

About the helicopter: I know how to take off, but there are a few problems with the editor: the helicopter flies like an airplane (it doesn't take off vertically) and you can't land it (eg. I'm flying it in direct control, press space and it just appears on the ground in a blink and it won't stop moving. If i cancel direct control, it just moves in circles very fast...)

The 2nd problem is that the special soldiers (John Merril, Carl Dillan, etc.) have no names in the bottom left corner of the screen; it's just their picture and it doesn't write "John Merril" or some other guy...

The 3rd problem is that all soldiers have no breed; It says: desc/human/singleplayer/etc...

I think I'm gonna need your help with the editor once again...

Also, I started making a new map, I'm still working on it but when it's done i'll get a few pics here...

Sorry for the long reply but I was out of town for a while...

Ok but now i have a new problem. After the village battle something odd happens: men who patrol the base and those wounded stand up and don't move also if attacked. I'm looking for the trigger error.

I have finished the first mission "Final Stand", it was awesome but I'm not able to run the second mission "Killing Fields".

When I press the "spacebar" to continue, the screen went blank and I press again, it close the whole program. Anyone have this error? I love this mod and please help.

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).

My apologise as I'm not able to post a screen shot. However, below are the error message.
