Mod Installation - Winter War Installation for the beginner
The Winter War mod focuses on the battles between the Finnish and Russian armies. It was created by Moloch and Luer. Tejszd has taken on the initiative to provide some bug fixes which brings this mod from version 1.1 to 1.2b.
STEP 1
Make a full install of Close Combat 4 Battle of the Bulge to your harddrive,
into the default folder. (C:/Program Files/Close Combat IV/)
CfgV27.zip
- This is Config Manager v2.7. Its used to install plugins into Close Combat
4.
Unzip CfgIV27.zip into "C:/Program Files/Config Manager CCIV/" If the folder
does not already exist, create it. Refer to the image below to what Config Manager
should look like on your harddrive after its unzipped.
This is the plugin file for Winter War 1.2b. It also includes 2 submod plugins
which adjust the difficulty level for playing against the AI as the Russians
and for playing H2H. The main plugin is setup to play as the Fins vs the AI.
You must have Winter War installed 1st in order to play them. Unzip this file
into "C:/Program Files/Config Manager/Plugins/". Refer to the picture below
for proper folder and file structure.
STEP 4 COMPLETE
STEP 5
Copy the Videos folder and all of its contents from your Close Combat 4 CDROM
"/Data/Videos/" to "C:/Program Files/Close Combat IV/"Refer to the picture
below.
Vb5fr.dll is needed in some cases to run the Winter War mod. Extract this file into your C:/Windows/System folder.
STEP 6 COMPLETE
STEP 7
You are now ready to install the Winter War mod 1.2b using Config Manager 2.7.
Run the file "C:/Config Manager IV/CfgIV27.exe". Once open you should see "winterwarh2h.pln
winterwarFinAI.pln winterwar1.2b.pln" in the bottom box labelled not installed.
Right click "winterwar1.2b.pln" and select "install." Since this file is approximately
120megs, it may take a few minutes to install on some systems. Install the other
2 submods when required.
STEP 7 COMPLETE
As long as you followed every step properly you will be ready to play Close
Combat 4: Winter War.
If you have any problems with your install post them here.
