Really great job, man!!!! :)

Thank you very much!!! :D

You're welcome! :)

Which Windows version are you running? If you installed the Widescreen mod, do a file search on your computer for WSEmod.big. Is it present on your system? In which directory? If you installed the Triplehead mod search for THEmod.big instead.

The mod installs custom shortcuts in the Start Menu. Did you use those to launch the game? Does the game launch at all?

If you can provide some of the details I can probably get things working for you.

Windows 7 64bit, no it's not present i searched for this file and i wondered why i can't find this file in the bfme2 or RotWK directory, i will search if i'm @ home on the hole computer for that file.

YEEEESSSS now it works!!!!
i have the german version, so the path to the directory my bfme2 files is different..first i copied the file to the main directory because in the link is standing that the file have to be in the main directory, but that doesn't work, then i copied it to the directory where "my bfme2" files are..don't know why but it works, tanks a lot!! im in love with this mod :o

Glad you got it working and sorry I didn't respond sooner.

Yes, the .big file gets installed in a "My Battle for Middle Earth files..." folder inside the Docs and Settings folder. The installer reads this folder location from the registry, installs the .big file there, and then creates a shortcut in your start menu with the executable's -mod switch to activate the mod. I hadn't thought to ask about a different language version of Windows, but it makes sense that such a difference would be the problem.

I'll add a note to the first post so other foreign-language users can utilize your solution. Thanks for posting the info!

Hello, I can't seemn to get the widescreen Mod working...
I get this error when I try to launch the game with the mod's launcher.
Something like: ' Unknown Field 'ShadowLOD' in block 'StaticGameLOD'

and then a whole lot more of explanation...

Please help,
Regards, Thomas

EDIT: I had to update the game to 1.06... the MOD works fine now and IM IN LOVE WITH IT... I can't see why the designers didn't put the camera where you put it, lol. Good job.
Now I DO have another question. Is it possible to connect with friends using this MOD? Like a LAN connection through hamachi? Or is it strictly single player?
Regards.

Glad to hear it's working for you. Both mods do require the latest official patch for BFMEII or RotWK.

The mods should be fully multiplayer compatible with anyone else also using the same mod. Just tell your friends which one to install and it should work, though I have not tested it personally. Remember there are no gameplay changes besides the camera modification, and if anyone doesn't like the increased fov they can always zoom in to where they like it.

Remember, don't try to connect to regular, non-modded online matches using the mod. Most likely it will just be incompatible, but it could also trigger cheat protection/bans/jealousy/etc.

Hey TyphonEdu,

Sorry for the late reply. Since you have a non-English version of Windows I recommend looking at MarQs posts HERE to see how he got the mod working with his German Windows version. If you have tried moving/copying files to different places you may need to start with a fresh install of the game and mod. Also make sure you have the game patched to the latest official version.
