If you ever decide to invade Russia, for the love of God, bring some warm clothes. We don't want you to blame the "evil Russian winter" when you get crushed, like everyone else who tried.



One of the best things brought by the 1.87 PB is the tenfold increase of the unofficial maps limit. Now, my question is, how to do it in ShockWave? If it isn't a secret of course.

It's a simple edit in window files (the interface). You just increase the box limit.

I see. I use he big editor. So, I go to Window/ and then... where exactly from there? Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with this.

Aut vincere aut mori, Cave quid dicis, quando, et cui, De duobus malis, minus est semper eligendum.



Window\Menus\LanMapSelectMenu.wnd
Window\Menus\MapSelectMenu.wnd
Window\Menus\SkirmishMapSelectMenu.wnd
Window\Menus\WOLMapSelectMenu.Wnd

look for the line called LISTBOXDATA = LENGTH:
and change it to what you want in all 4 files(rotr is 1200 now, 100 is the default)

- You extract those 4 WND files (that are on a big file named Window);
- Look for that entry and edit the 100 to another higher number and save the files;
- Place the files inside Window\Menus folder... You have to create them inside the game folder;

Thanks, but where is this "WINDOW" file? And the WND files located?

Windows/menu folder?

Sorry about this...
