New World Order 2

[pheonix02]

the NWO was a god idea, I enjoy to play the cold war mod , perhaps the run time is too long( 1945-1989)?. I continue to play DH because there are NWO and Putin mod , with out this two mods I will stopplay and even leave this forum. thanks for your work Bizon.

It was sure easier and more cohesive to keep within original 1945-1963 timeframe. I still think that venturing beyond that, even if only for some sparse flavor, was a nice attempt for the mod. Glad that you like it!

In my opinion, NWO 2 is saturated.

We definitely need the NWO (or Cold War Tech Tree Expansion) for HoI IV. Maybe not until the 70s or 80s but maybe until 1964 like in Armageddon.

IMO the mod's end date should have been around 1965-ish, trying to do such a wide swath of time from 1964-1991 which has to be done from scratch as well as adding onto the base game is a nearly impossible task for a team, let alone a single modder.

Does anyone have a clue if the moderators are still working on the project?

Do you mean Bizon? He just commented a couple of comments above. Seems like he's lost the passion to mod.

No one else was working on this Mod as far as I know.

I'd say that doing the tech tree for the new HoI4 would be certainly a good start.

And "saturated" is a good word for this mod, I like it

I know that NWO was sort of incorporated into ALL-IN-ONE, but that sprites and ratings weren't there for such things as corvettes, frigates and other late-war and fifites types.

I need help i cant play this mod when i select any scenario and nation and hit play it loads the loading bar full then error message comes ; excel file not found and then it crashes i would really like play mod because looks very good and i did long time ago but since they made loading and installing so much slower and more stupid i cant get it working

Ps why did you guys change the way you download and install this mod its so slow why cant it be like others just hit download takes about 5-10 mins then just extract the mod folder into darkest hour mod file and done

 

[Bizon]

Are you sure that you made a copy of the Darkest Hour Full folder first (see instructions below) and copied the files there? It's usually one omission that cause this error.

- Go to your game's mod directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Darkest Hour\Mods");
- Make a copy of "Darkest Hour Full" directory, which is going to take a while (a lot of files to be copied);
- Rename the copied directory "New World Order 2"
- Copy contents of the downloaded NWO archive into the "New World Order 2" directory.

I don't think I ever changed the way the mod is installed. It was always this way because the mod is based on DH Full, not on vanilla DH (which is mostly equal to HoI2).

yes i did like instructions said i made copy it took some time and then i just started to extract ONE BY ONE around 150 winrar files into that new copy of full game , back when i downloaded this mod first this year can t remember when, downloading and installing was simple as any other mod would be. And its different in a way that not single other mod i have downloaded or installed have required to made copy first of the original and they worked just fine and they were not hoi2 versions or anything

 

[Bizon]

Ouch, you certainly don't have to download all the files, only the newest version. In this case, nwo_230.zip which should automatically download as you click the link and this is the only file you will need. The other files are there because people occasionally wanted to get an older version.

I can't vow for the other mods, a lot of mods in the earlier days indeed supported vanilla map (the same as in HoI2, hence my remark). I suppose most of the mods now may include the DH Full data for that extra ease of use.

I have queston about usa and and vietnam war when you play as usa do you get any events or anything like joining war same side with south vientam ? like for example in korea war you get events and such

 

[Bizon]

There are a couple of events of this kind, in db\events\nwo\vietnam_war.txt, starting with "### Second Indochina War assistance" line. It seems that it doesn't go that far to offer possibility of having any of countries join alliances, just sending troops and modifying dissent.

okey wish it was even better but might be do to problem that dh runs old engine coding would hard i guess or even impossible like example have seperate alliance with south vietnam

I would like to ask whether there is any way that the united Arab Republic will continue to exist, as it was dissolved inevitably in 61-63.
miraculously, at the time of the first Arab-Israeli war, I was Egypt and I managed to defeat Israel. After the revolution, I was so lucky that Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine were unified in the Republic.

Hi Bizon,
Love your mod i'm playing since four years now.
I look at continuing the scenario from 1992 to ...
But no mod satisfy me. I don't like Victoria 2 system and Modern Day for Darkest Hours only begin in 2003...
It would be a challenge for you and a logical continuity to make a follow at CWO2 ?
Don't you think it would be possible ?
Best regards.

 

[Soul of Darknes]

download link? the link from the first page seems to be broken.

Someone can help me please ?
Big thanks.
