RA changes more than just the 3DO models, it also directly effects how the game is played.

If you can adapt to a style that's more suited to playing World Of Warships (multiplayer melees and slug fests), you'll enjoy RA. RA also has a much more expanded list of playable platforms.

For traditional DW game play, stick with a stock install or try LWAMI.

Unfortunately, its VERY difficult to get the best of both worlds. I would avoid using JSGME to "harvest" parts of RA unless you have a very good understanding of how DW's database works and how RA changes it.

You misunderstood my post. As I prefaced, you have to copy over every altered file and directory. Yes, that means the MODS/Reinforce Alert folder will be more sizable than LWAMI, Alfa Tau, etc, but it actually does work. It works, because the additional core files which RA alters, even exe's, are backed up when you enable RA, and restored when you disable it.


Yes, it requires understanding JSGME and what it can do, but when you actually use it to its full potential, you save yourself the headache of multiple install directories if you want to maintain different mods alongside stock RA.

What you mean by "traditional DW gameplay"?
LwAmi is NOT similar to vanilla - it only uses the same playable platforms but adds many AI platforms. Also new doctrines, major changes to broadband sonar, some weapon systems etc.
Ovarall Lwami is more closer and similar to RA than to vanilla.
