I can't seem to download the mode from the sites:

http://ra-dwx.narod.ru/download.htm

Is it hosted somewhere else? Subsim would seem like a good place to host the mod ...

Thanks.

The downloads from second link work fine: insert the request captcha codes and you should be able to download the four parts of MOD.
Do not forget to download and apply also the two patches listed.

Thanks sertore.

I'm getting the captcha's now. For some reason I wasn't getting them yesterday.

I'm a little vague on the install instructions though. My understanding is that I need to unrar the files into my "Dangerous Waters" directory and then run the batch file that comes as part on the install.

If you have any better information I'd appreciate it if you could let me know. I've googled for installation instructions but haven't found any clear instructions.

Thanks again.

Sounds like you got it; at least for a RA-only install.

It's a bit more complicated to install it side-by-side with other mods.

Check in the rar files you downloaded: in the RA_OPFOR_DWX1_35 folder there is a text file called !DWX_RA_1_35_OPFOR_INFO.TXT with lot of information, together with the instructions to install the MOD.

For your convenience I report just the part related to the install:

Installation Steps
I recommend to establish it on the "clean" version 1.04 - without any other mods [even RA any version].
For installation and correct work of this addition, precisely follow my recommendations.
1. Install -Dangerous Waters- game.
2. Install Patch v 1.04
3. Placed unrar this add-on ['RA_OPFOR_DWX1_34' Folder Name and 'Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_34' BAT file ] at root directory Your game [ C:\...\Dangerous Waters ]

4. Launch Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_34.bat file for install pack.

NOTE:

* - Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_34.bat file and 'RA_OPFOR_DWX1_34' Folder must located precisely in some place as DangerousWaters.exe file
Reinstallation Conditions
Reinstallation: Is possible only on the original version of game - if at You this was already established addition, for reinstall, it is required completely to remove game and to make repeated installation of original game with a patch 104.
Before repeated installation of addition - after removal of game - remove the manually stayed files and folders from this addition/It is necessary to clear a folder of interfaces!/.
Only after that the addition - Reinforce Alert - will be efficient.

Instructions refer to the version 1.34 of RA, but are the same for the 1.35 one.

Thanks to RA team for brilliant job!

I thought my instructions are clear enough.

2. Unpack DWX archive into the game root folder.
3. Disable UAC (temporary if you want, simply "Run as Administrator" will not work!).
4. Double click on bat file (e.g. Install_OPFOR_DWX1_32.bat for current mod version).
5. Installation will start, just follow the instructions.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to, get and use the correct Database editor for DW? I used the one for Fleet Command before and would like to use it for DW, with RA mod of course.
Thankyou in advance Ringo

You do not need any different version for the RA mod.

[Red October1984]

Where do i download a working version of this. I tried Reinforce Alert DWX Download but it gave me a few broken files.

[sertore]

Downloads work fine: just enter the captcha codes when requested and click on URLs that contain the RA filenames rar compressed.
