Do you have access to the Subsim FTP or do you need me to update the local link once the CADC link is up?

Please upload to Subsim ... I dont have access to their FTP. The package is updated.

@Imamar : As pointed out in the install instructions - deinstall earlier versions and make sure to deactivate them with the jsgme tool first. I'll check for that behaviour but its something that hasnt been reported before ....

@Oneshot
Thanks, luckily I had bad feeling about my skills in those kind of installations, so I made a backup. My dvd drive is dead, so cant install it again from original.

Will try later when you have uploaded the new version to Subsim, thanks.

Well I checked on my installation and couldnt reproduce the errors reported by Imamar. Btw. the package over at the CADC is the actual one so instead of waiting till the one here at subsim is update head over and grab it there.

Subsim link updated 1404 Central (2104 GMT)

Thanks for the work you guys did ! I can't wait to take a look at it !!! :salute:

So, when TLAM didn't have any models for me to work on putting in the mod, I was working on a campaign.

It deals with tensions in the South China Sea, which coincidentally has been making headlines again in the last week or two. I hope you like it.

Even better !!! :up:

The release of LWAMI 3.11 and the campaign should be announced on the main page !

Missing models and font
 

Hey Skippers,

just downloaded LWAMI 3.11...

After reading the previous posts carefully none of them could help me - so hopefully you do.

I completely deinstalled DW to have a clean version. So re-installing DW, installing patch 1.04, extracting LWAMI 3.11 in a subfolder "Mods", running the InstallStuff batch file, copying jsgme into the DW folder and activated the mods one by one beginning with LWAMI_Mod main part. Then activated the others including the font mod.

- I don't get the splash screen, only selected one in JSGME
- Font is still the stock one
- I do have the new platforms in the USNI database
- In the campaign The Liu Doctrine first mission instead of the new platforms i only got notes "No such platform in current database" (Sorry the message is originally in german for me so I translated it not knowing the english error message).

Tought i followed the install process exactly but seems not so, though :-|

System is Win 7 64 Bit, JSGME is latest version - anything else important to know?

So far...

Riding subs for quite a while also enjoying LWAMI in previous versions...maybe i stupidly just forgot a little step...

THX and Mast und Schottbruch!

That is rather weird ... did you get any errors when using the InstallStuff.bat? Do you have DW installed in the standard folder or somewhere else? Can you post screenshots of your JSGME open as well as your DW folder in explorer?

Huh, I just noticed that LWAMI files are missing completely in the e.g. DW/Graphics folder, same for other files and folders...

Can I just copy and paste them from the extracted LWAMI to DW/Subfolder??

I don't need the backup...


Update: I deactivated all mods in JSMGE, extracted the LWAMI folders and files again in the MODS folder created by JSMGE and ran the batch file again. Then activated the mods starting with the LWAMI_mod followed by the others.

I now have the small font and the spalsh screen but still missing the new platform models.

Checking the doctrines right now...

This probably isn't related to the missing DB issue, but I couldn't help but notice you had the standard LWAMI mod and APAD activated at the same time. Only one database can be active at a time, and by loading the other, JSGME would have overwritten whichever was activated first. And depending on whether JSGME copies the active DB back to the "storage" areas (I have no idea whether it does), then you'll probably overwrite one of the databases with the other when you disable one of them.

Going to the main issue, can you tell if the graphics have installed properly? I'm guessing yes, since that probably went along with the USNI, but it wouldn't hurt to check. The quickest way to check would probably be to look at some weapons in the USNI: ADCAP, ESSM, SS-N-27 family, Harpoon, Tomahawk family. If our graphics are active, at least some of those should be a new model (some might not load because of DB changes).

My theories right now would either be that there is an issue with where the files went and JSGME isn't finding them, or that due to multiple installations DW is looking somewhere else for the database.

You must to make new REG a file for rewriting path.


You can not adjust this or that database, as initial installation ***1091;***1082;***1072;***1079;***1074;***1072;** *1077;***1090; a way in the register where take the data from 3D.j3d of archive.

And the data will take always from initial installation of game.


You should make REG a copying file to a place improved DB.

Modders LWAMI - are unsufficient are prepared to know it with dual installing.

We are "sufficiently prepared" to know you need to have a separate registry entry if you have multiple installations. Creating a separate registry entry is standard procedure when making a dual installation of DW, as OneShot posted at CADC, which in turn was originally from a Subsim post that I provided him with years ago.

But that has nothing to do with our work. LWAMI does not require a dual installation, never has.

:rolleyes:

Two things ... First I notced that you have still a lot of pre-install files in the graphics folder which shouldnt be there if the .bat did run without errors. Second, do you have a german DW? If so that would be the reason why this isnt working.

Hum, the batch file ran without an error message.

There is no dual-installation.

Yes I do have the German version, if this is the reason (can you assure?) i'm just a click from fixing it :-)

I'll give another try in a clean installation of DW + patch + LWAMI - but without activating the APAD Mod, let's see what happens!

...ok i did. Nothing changed. Get the fonts and the USNI but no models.

Now just waiting for confirmation for buying the english version...

So far many thanks for your help!

Its the german version ... Unfortunately LwAmi as well as all the other mods are based upon the english version of DW. Since the database files have a different ending the parts of the mod refering to language specific files of the game simply wont work. There are two way to rectify the situation ... one is to simply buy an english DW the other way would be to rename the relevant files ... for that look here at subsim or over at the CADC ... However the second way might produce more errors - but it might be worth a try.

Well then going after an english version!

The only thing which makes me thinkin is that all previous versions of LWAMI ran totally smooth!?

Anyways thanks for your assistance! Will post asap when it is running smooth with english version!

Can't wait to get the boat rigged for dive!

Oh, another question - do you think it will work with the steam version set to english lanuage?

I don't know about the STEAM version ... Since I don't have it I'm not sure if the files are changed when you change the language. As for previous versions of LwAmi working without a hitch - I have to doubt it ... simply because this "problem" i.e. the different filenames, exists since day one of the localized release.

After spending 3 bucks something for the STEAM version i can confirm that LWAMI 3.11 is working fine for now!

All parts are running fine, noticing that the Kilo at the opening video has a new skin. New platforms appearing like they should and also fonts are working.

The only thing I noticed running the InstallStuff batch file was that it took quite longer than before using the german DW. Like it was mentioned before it seemed that the german version has different files which just wasn't processed.

Thanks for all your help and special thanks to the LWAMI team!

Going slow and deep now! Won't be available for the next weeks!
