Here is how to install the Snow Mod.

Go to Windows Explorere and click on the CD drive with the Mod CD inside.

In the menu you click on mods. At the bottom of the list a Setup icon is present.

Once you click this, the Snow Mod program presents itself like a commercial CD. You just need to follow the prompts and it installs itself.

Once installed, you need to tell the Mod Enabler where your Panzer Elite folder is.

1) Go to the Start button on your lower left Desktop screen and click Programs. The drop down menu should have SnMod. Click on this and in the new menu select:
L & L Snow- Night Mod (Config only)

2) This will make a new Window appear.
There is a white area where you need to write the directory of your install. Replace
E:\Panzer Elite with
C:\Program Files\PanzerElite

3) Click on the SAVE Parameter button and hit OK.

4) Now, use the Start/Programs/ Snmod to click on the
L & L Snow- Night mod (Play)

The game then returns to the Section where you choose the type of game you want to set up.
You check the boxes for the following options:

a) Play at night- if you want the game to be at night
b) Play at snow - If you want to play in winter
c)SnowUScammo1 White Allied cammo
d)SnowUScammo2 White on dark green
e)SnowUScammo3 white on olive green
f)Swap US/Russian Play US or Russian

Once you click OK, the Mod Enabler will start you in the configuration of Panzer Elite you chose.

Are you sure you clicked on the SAVE Parameter button after redoing the directory configuration?

Otherwise I dont know what else to suggest right now.

Hi !

You must give the complete drive and path name of your pe install folder !

Example: C:\Program Files\Panzer Elite

Use the windows explorer to check the right name and without the ending backslash !!!! Check also the spaces between the folder names !!! After saving this it must be run.

BTW: You only need to use the config mode to give this parameter. All other parameters can then selected in the play mode. Changing any parameter in play mode is for the current S/N Session. When you have a special config you can press the save button and this will be the default config for your S/N installation. So you don't need to start the config mode to change the mod specific parameters !!!


Hope this helps !

Lars

Hi

Really appreciate the responses for my help request. Unfortunately, I have tried all the suggestions and instructions....multiple times with several uninstalls and reinstalls. Nothing seems to help. I have always set the path correctly to PE but to no avail. All other Mods work great.....so maybe a fix or another idea will come along to help. Thanks again.

One last thing.
It is important that you dont have a space between 'Panzer' and 'Elite' .

The original Psygnosis game folder is spelled Panzer Elite, two words.

The PE SE CD is spelled PanzerElite. One word.


Check out to see how your game is spelled, then make sure it is the same as the configuration window.

Good luck!

Hi !

Have you look at the complete pathname in your window explorer ? Bob is right when hi say that PESE will not "Panzer Elite" as default folder name. It is "PanzerElite".

EXAMPLE !!!! "C:\Program Files\PanzerElite" or "D:\Program Files\PanzerElite" or the name of your config

But when you not know your path (with the right drive name !!) than look with the windows explorer and type this name in the correct text box in the ModEnabler config screen. Don?t forget to press the save parameter button !

Have a nice day...

Lars

Very sad still no luck. I amhaving a terrible time here with PE. When I start the Snow mod it tell me that I don't have enough Hard Drive memory. It says something like needs 250000000bytes of mememory and I only have 1676700. Anyway, I have 20GIGS of open space on my hdd and 768Megs RAM.

Whats is going on?

Regards

Hi Gian !

This is a old problem and exists only with harddisks with more than 10 or 20 GB free space available. It's a problem of the external mod enabler function "Drivesp.exe".

To fix this edit the file "LLSNSYS.INI" in your S/N mod installation folder. There is a parameter "FreeSpace" (or like this). Change the value of this parameter to 0 (one) and save it. This disable the freescape check so you have to watch yourself having enough free memory on your harddisk (where pe is installed).

Have a nice day/night ...

Lars

Hi Lars

I tried the above suggestion but when I started it gave me a global sys could not be read or something. Could you please put the contents of that file here so I could copy and paste it and try again.

Sorry for all the hassle but I really want to get it to work.

Regards

Gian
