I really wish I would of seen this comment years ago....the best suggestion I have is to adjust the startup "icon" properties to emulate an older version of windows.

WIN 7 will run it but you need to avoid the out of memory errors by using XP mode.

The other option is to run it on Virtual PC in XP.

Sorry I did not respond quicker, after my time on ModDB I had some serious life issues that kept me away from games as a whole.

Best wishes & hope you were able to get it sorted out shortly after posting this comment.

Just wanted to say thanks for the compliment. I wish I would of had more time to increase the detail levels. I had many things I wanted to edit, but life happens when you're busy making plans.

I will check out your YouTube channel & subscribe. I can also help you get more views since I have a lot of friends on YT.

Take care & best wishes my friend!

FIX IS HERE ===>> Moddb.com

I can understand that...the Victory Cheers are more of a joke & for testing then main gameplay sfx. I have uploaded a clean vanilla M&B Warband "Sounds" folder just for fixing this kind of issue. NOTE:: Always backup original files before adding custom downloads, you never know when you will need those original files back?

This fixes Sound folder in M&B Warband to it's defaults vanilla ogg's!

ONLY USE IF YOU WANT TO RESET YOUR SOUND FILES!!!

To start a scenario you need to make sure its in you my doc's RCT3 folder called 'Start New Scenarios'

Sorry my friend, I am actually a Zero Hour Dinosaur...I had ZH modded out on my Win 7 Laptop a few years ago, wiped it and haven't reloaded since. This map upload was my final ZH efforts, it is such a great game though :)

Are you prior military btw? Just asking as I was a 'Gun Bunny' pre-Gulf War & it's always nice to find fellow soldiers.

If I had the time, I would go back and really AMP up the quality of my MAP PACK - sadly there is no way I can do that.

I have learned so much in the last 10 years about AI and scripting/pathing it would be fun to make a MOD.....time won't allow that.

I am mostly doing Sound FX & 5.1 Multi-channel work(Hoping to work with the Ghost Codecs for 6/8 Channel Surround. My son is a sound engineer, he is actually working on Theme music....we hope to provide FREE music & SFX for game modders. I don't believe in monetization as it feels like selling out, so I always do video game work free of charge. Money is something I get from my job not my hobbies ;)

Thanks for checking my files, sorry I didn't respond quickly. I still am not sure how many people actually play BFVietnam, but I released the maps for the few people that may still play single player mode as it includes BOT support. They do also work in COOP & MULTIPLAY modes, take it easy & thanks for stopping by ;)

3 VIDEO DEMOS OF A FEW SOUNDS/SONGS FROM THE PACK....

Crazy Battle Music (Plays only when outnumbered) ... Youtu.be

Strange Cheers of Victory ... Youtu.be

Wedding Song (by Request for Laura) ... Youtu.be

There's a few other videos for the SFX PACK ... Youtube.com

Used these SFX files in my own client, my friend convinced me to upload them for others to check out. There's 50+ files that include some of the following...

Rain - enhanced weather sfx, some thunder & downpour variations
Man_Death - Various death cries mixed with monstrous sfx, literally
Horse sfx - All noisy horse sfx now have approx. -6db cut.
Tavern music - a few classic tavern songs were added.
Victory cries - mostly for a joke, but added so others can check out.
Dogs in town - lowered or replaced the sfx for dogs, added ambient sfx.
User Interface - changed a couple of UI sfx that got annoying after time

few other odds and ends....(ie: Wedding song changed by request - Laura)

Have fun, it's not a FIX pack more of a casual sfx pack for those weary of the vanilla 'native' sfx in M&B Warband)

Sgt Rock is DC Comics right? Lost your comment when I updated some videos and MOD artwork. It removed the comments for the video when I pulled them. I think the names from the comic book right?

Sgt. Rock is from DC Comics right? I'll wiki it in a second, I barely remember seeing his comic in an old store in when I was a kid. It was next to a HULK comic and they were both 25 cents I think.

(Anyhow, was I right?)

AVOIDING STUPID BOTS...

Vanilla Zero Hour GLA Generals are the Best testing Generals for all maps, mods & AI issues.

MOD Generals will sometimes work with the Maps, but they must be Vanilla ZH. You can use any MOD general for yourself of course.

Even if I scripted every MOD general there is, the second a MOD changes a unit or gererals name the SCRIPT may crash.

Try playing these 3 generals when troubleshooting AI problems inside a MOD... #1 GLA Stealth - #2 CHINA Infantry - #3 USA Super Weapon. (Also try them on Medium, sometimes they are tougher to beat as they don't over build as much.)

LAST TIP - On some maps USA SW can only build 1 Airfield...to exploit around this simply build as many as you can before the FIRST one is completed. It only STOPS you from making Airfields AFTER one is completely built ;)

There's lots & lots of weird tricks like that in this Map Pack, almost ALL secrets are in each Maps README.

I know it will be really hard to get every map working 100% with MODS. You're welcome to script the maps for MODS as needed. Just mention me if you want to use pieces of this Map Pack.

Thanks for checking them out & good luck ;)

The damned Nords showed up & their ally General joined in about half way through. The conan theme plays when your outnumbered, which is perfect for me.

The music doesn't play very often, only when things are going to get crazy. (Files name is crazybattlemusic.ogg)

It's part of the M&B Sound Packs I've uploaded ;)

I have no experience with this pack using the Destructive Forces MOD. If none of the generals work then they must of changed all the default NAMES OF THE GENERALS, UNITS and/or STRUCTURES.
If a MOD simply leaves ALL the default ZH Vanilla Scripts, while adding their custom generals still, you can then use any MAP with most MODS. (IE: Shockwave Mod use to work since they left most of the default names in the MODs support scripts) You still had issues, but very few if you chose Vanilla ZH or similar enemies.
Shockwave MOD generals did work to an extent, many of the AI Scripts called the same units as the Shockwave Mods. This was very good for map makers in my opinion, since you had a better 'chance' of using your new maps in Shockwave :D

THANKS !!! For making my ZH replay value infinitely greater! One of the best Mods I have played to date ;)

EA should of put you on their payroll, seriously!

:: COMMENTARY BY "Q" :: Narration begins only after the 22nd Battle, the comments are kept to a minimum with little of no swearing & screaming....unfortunately for some :)

It's much clearer on YT.

No matter how clear and HD a source video is, YouTube always pixelates these small unit RTS games.

Q = QuantumEnigma (World of Tanks, World of Warships, Total War Series)

Oh man that's epic when they steal the chopper and leave you in a hot LZ. You call him back and he says "ROGER THAT!!", but he still flies away :(

Scott is now probably General Pinkerton :P
