Manual install version of Nile 1.6


First install regular NILE (JOTR_NILE_082604_xx.exe (Included in archive)). After install update it, using its own update Function.
After that copy the NILE folder from the ZIP File and overwrite your original (installed) NILE folder. Voila.
Now when you start it and check in Version, you should find NILE 1.6

This program will fix the problems which occur with COOP maps build with the NILE program from NovaLogic.
Convert your old (sysdumping/waypoint-less) NILE maps with this tool and the waypoints are working again and the sysdumps are gone.
This program is created for the official JO update 1.6.7.13.

This mapping tool is created for Joint Operations, but can probably be used for DFX as well. It is made to combine the NILE and DFXMED editor by allowing project files to be converted between the 2 formats. The tool is intended for maps to be exported to .bms in the end using DFXMED, which unlocks more features for NILE users. Some of the features can be set up in NILE itself in the object properties, the converter will recognize and translate these extra settings to make it work again.

Super Awesome WAC Editor is a simple text editor. It helps NILE users import their NILE Projects, and write scripts faster. Totally FREE! Visual Basic PowerPack is required.

This will allow you to convert your NILE missions to med missions. This accurately converts object placement only.
