LwAmi causing invisible subs/weapons?

Okay, I don't know why the .bat isn't running, but you've helped us a great deal just by telling us you're running Windows 7. Microsoft... 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

Anyways, OneShot knows the installer better, since he made it, so I've asked him to take a look. If we can't figure anything out, one thing I can try is to make the graphics package available as a separate download, which in theory would allow you to run that part of the installation manually... Assuming cmputil.exe isn't being prevented from running.

From oneshot:

Did you install Dangerous Waters to the default folder or do you have a separate folder. For example I use /Games in the root directory and I can install DW and LwAmi without a hitch using Win7 64Bit Ultimate

So I guess that means the root directory is better than the normal location in Program Files? Hmmm, before I thought the problems happened when people installed in places other than Program Files....

The installation/saved games are on the same root directory.
And that root directory is inside Steam/Steamapps/common directory.
I don't know if it influences on something...but...
I'll try the solution given above on this thread; i.e., running the .bat files manually.

No joy.
I didn't find the .bat files. I used the one click installer.
Anyway, subs/torps, not showing.

On the bright side however, I gotta say tha LwAmi mod is great.
Didn't install earlier because of "a fear of mods" I had. But now I can really enjoy the game, letting the AI do the hard work while you concentrate on another tasks. It was good to take the dust off the game and run it again. for the first time, really enjoying it.

Is it just the 3D models that are missing or does the USNI also look like it hasn't grown at all since 3.09? (the most obvious difference is the size of the "Countries" list)

[OneShot]

I'll see that I make a package where you can install everything by hand. And I look around, maybe there is a newer version of the program I used to create the installer. Nevertheless I installed DW + LwAmi 3.10 multiple times under Windows 7 (64Bit) and never had a problem. Only noticed two or three insignificant errors when executing the batch because it looks for a file that isn't there ... that in itself isn't a problem tho and it is only in the USNI part of the batch installer.

[Molon Labe]

The USNI part wouldn't prevent 3D models from showing in game.

Only the 3D models are missing.
I'm liking the bigger, better USNI, so it means the reference is working correctly.

Okay, I'm going to give you a couple files that should end the drama. I'm not 100% that this is going to work perfectly, because this includes more than it should. But the worst thing that will happen is maybe some things have missiles coming out of the wrong place. If that happens, let me know.

Throw those in DW/Mods/LWAMI/Graphics when the mod is not enabled, then enable (if it's not obvious, not the archive file, but the contents of it). And remove the "_x" from the filename, that's just there because I'm lazy and I had been fuxoring with the DARPA stuff.

Let me know how it goes.
