Is there a mod for improved courier?

[charlesonmission]

Hi there,

Great game, I'm still just playing a little bit of the first two scenarios. I always use courier, I see there has been some thigns written on a mod to improved the courier and give more detailed options, but I don't see that in the mod list. Is this available for SOW 1.2?

Thanks,

Charles

Does that only apply to sandbox, if I remember correctly???

Yes, sandbox and any user created scenarios. To play the stock scenarios with mods, download the SDK. It contains a copy of all those scenarios. You can then create a mod folder with them inside it and play them any way you like. It's a very nice feature that Norb included.

That sounds promising. Where is the SDK exactly? I don't see SDK in the list of mods. Where am I supposed to download it?

Is there any place that explains what the minimod/courier mod does?

Thanks,

At the top of this sub-forum is a thread with the link.

A few topics down is another thread.

Thanks again, MTG, hopefully this will be the last question on this.

I've dowloaded and istalled the SDK, it is now in the work folder in SOW/Gettysburg.

Are you saying I should copy the entire SDK folder into your courier mod folder, or just the scenarios folder from SDK to your courier mod folder?

In the end, I'm guessing, I should find the stock scenarios in the sandbox with your mod activiated.

Thanks,

Charles

Okay, I just copied that 'scenarios' folder fro SDK to the courier mod folder. I then changed scenario 2's name by adding and it now comes up in User Scenarios. One thing I noticed is that the map doesn't shop up now, I mena it shows up, but it is just sort of blanked out except for the objective. Is that right? Or maybe I made a mistake somewhere.

The artillery moves very well now, I can just tell the caption and he takes all his guns with him.
