Help please with odd medals/awards behavior - DoktorWho - 13.08.2009

Hello friends, hope this is in the right section but it is mod related. I'm patched to installer 1.1. however with DE awards the graphic image, picture of the medal has disappeared. If I load non-mod eg 4.09m (standard) the DE medal image appears. When I switch to mod the image disappears. The box where the medal image goes shows up, also the name of the award, but not the picture of the medal itself. In non mod it shows. This only occurs with DE medals - all other nations appear as normal. In mod mode no medal image - standard normal DE medal image. Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance. DW

Hey Doc,

I had the same problem as you once - the solution is to rename the awardx.mat file with an "h" between "award" and "x" (award #).
ex:

awardh5.mat

This works for the stock medals; I had to change mine back because now I have a little picture of Adolf in the background of every medal. (Creepy...) You may also find you need to do the same as above with Finnish medals, etc.

Hope this helps,

Didn't we meet? - DoktorWho - 14.08.2009

G'day Doc Love,

I think I met you. I vaguely remember you sitting at the end of the bar in some dive surrounded by smoke and ash when I fell off my stool clutching handfuls of monoploly money. You were kind enough to stagger over and offered to "help" me exchange my $. A true doc and gent :lol:

Mate, thanks for the info about the "h" it worked Big Grin

If I can ever find that dive again I'll buy you one or ten. DW
