LWAMI 3.11 Released

[OneShot]

The LwAmi v3.11 does include all Mods up to v3.11.

With 3.10 we stepped away from the Installer because a lot of people reported trouble with it on Win7. To prevent that from happening we moved back to a simple .zip package and more work on the installation side for the end user. While it is a tad more difficult to install, this way offers more freedom in regard to handling trouble while installing.

Anyway, I'll take a good look at the installer again, maybe I've overlooked something.

Could you please elaborate on your OS and how you set up DW ... i.e. did you install it in the default folder and such?

> Win7 64

> Initially installed only 3.11 to a new default DW1.04, but experienced problems listed below.

> Deleted everything

> Re-downloaded 3.11

> Reinstalled DW 1.04

> Reinstalled LWAMI up to 3.10 (installed 3.08 and 3.09 with their respective installers. 3.10 is manual install only). Activated using JSGME. Experienced no apparent issues.

> After deactivating all mods in 3.10, manually unzipped 3.11 "Mods" folder to DW directory, while not uninstalling 3.10. Ran only the "InstallStuff.bat" in the ...LwAmi_Mod/File Tools folder.

> Reactivated 3.11 LwAmi mod w/Splash Screen and Small Text with JSGME.

Ran a couple of missions and quick missions in the sim with no "apparent" issues. Now, since 3.11 is comprehensive, should I go ahead and entirely remove my current installation, copy over my default DW1.40 backup, and unzip 3.11 into the default DW installation (via Mods folder)? Or, do you anticipate no conflicts between 3.10 and 3.11 if I leave things as they are?

I hope I'm not making this more complicated than is necessary, I'm just trying to make sure everything is covered.

Thanks.

You can use LwAmi v3.11 with a clean DW 1.04 installation - no prior LwAmi Mods installed needed.

However I found two small errors in the InstallStuff.bat which I will fix and then upload a new package to the server. I'll post here once I'm done.

Ok, fixed one of the two problems but couldnt find the reason for the second error. However it shouldnt be a showstopper - its either a .jpg or .txt file that is not correctly loaded into the usnidata.grp. I cant find which one and the USNI works - I tested multiple entries and got no crashes or other problems. Everything else in the game works as its supposed to be.

Make sure to activate the Basic LwAmi Mod first and then everything else you want to have. Kegetys Fonts as well as the Binocs Mod and the P3 Splashscreen worked without a problem.

Loading up the new package right now ... give it till 2000 GMT before trying to download.

Danke vielmals.

I'll redownload tonight and get to work (again ) on the installation.

What about the other batch files? Should we run any of those, and if not, why are they present?

Thanks for this, and continuing to make it JSGME-compatible.

[OneShot]

Those are not actual .bat files at least they dont work. Just delete them or even better get the actual package - they are not part of it anymore. The only file you have to run is the InstallStuff.bat.

Sorry for the hassle guys ...

[Theta Sigma]

D/L'ing now. Was just curious about those.

Thanks.

EDIT: I hope someone creates some new missions utilizing a lot of the new models....

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

Hi
i started out with V 1.04 and loaded 3.08
and got a problem installing LWAM! 311. I could not follow your instructions clearly, so I copied Doctrines, Graphics and Database from LWAMI 311 and ran several missions and they seemed to run successfully. However The USNI reference was not updated. Is there an easy way to copy the 311 USNI Reference?
Do I need a clean DW install with v 1.04. Your instruction say that we will need V1 3.09 which I have not been able to find on the internet.

I noticed several people have requested a more easily to understand install instructions. If possible a 1,2,3 etc. type of instructions.

Thanks for all the work that you must have put into these updates I really appreciate it.

Would it be better if we replaced the dashes with numbers?

(If you have an earlier LwAmi Mod already installed)
1. Deactivate the LwAmi Mod and all associated packages from within the JSGME Enabler
2. Delete the LwAmi Mod and all associated packages from the /Mods folder

(Start here if you do a fresh install or once you have deleted all the old LwAmi Stuff)
1. Unzip the package.
2. Copy and overwrite the JSGME.exe to your DW folder.
3. Move everything within the unzipped /Mods folder into the DW/Mods folder
4. Go to Mods/LWAMI Mod/Filetools and run InstallStuff.bat
5. Activate the LwAmi Mod and every associated package you like via the JSGME Mod Tool

There, now they are "1, 2, 3" type instructions.

If you have no USNI update, it probably means you skipped step 4.
The 3.11 (full) package is standalone and does not require any previous verions.

Having a clean install of DW 1.04 to start with is probably the safest way to go, especially if you've been using other mods.

Was in the mood to re-install DW with LwAmi Mod but not sure how to do.
Found this on the CADC Homepage:
http://www.commanders-academy.com/fo...do=file&id=174

I know you have gone to a lot of effort to produce this mod. How much sense does it make to do so much work and then fail to provide a detailed and step by step instruction as to how to install it properly??? You have gone to such detail in the work but lack detail as to how to install. Please provide an installer or step by step details with no ambiguity....

I am lost too with the install instructions.
Any help?
