mod question

[Laffertytig]

hi,

ive not played DW in ages and fancy givin it another go. does someone have a list of what major mods have been released for DW?

also,

when i install one of these mods, can i still play the stock campaign and other scenarios or must scenarios and campaigns be specifically designed for each mod?

There are 3 mods, 2 of which add new playable units.


Lwami 3.09
Alfa Tau 3
RA (Reinforce Alert mod) now called DWX.


The last 2 add playable units. Lwami and Alfa Tau are jsgme friendly meaning you can install them over a default DW 1.04 and switch between the modded and non modded versions easily. DWX is not jsgme friendly and has to be installed directly over a default and patched 1.04 DW. There exists several workarounds to make DWX jsgme friendly and it is described in the official thread in the mods section.

Generally missions will be compatible across mods, although there can be a change in difficulty arsing from the new changed parameters in the database for instance for detection distances etc... Some problems may arise in case a mission has been designed to use units that are in a mods database but are not present in the databases of the other mods. Most public availalble missions on subguru's website for instance are compatibile with DW 1.04 and Lwami. They may or may not work with AT3 or DW although nothing a little bit of mission editing can't fix.

The links to download the different mods are in the official threads in the mods section so please go there and read the relevant info.
