OpenHoW Versions Save

Instructions

1. Extract the contents of the openhow-*.zip to it's own directory somewhere on your PC
2. Enter the directory so you see extractor.exe, OpenHoW.exe and the rest
3. Click into the Address Bar part of Windows Explorer and type "cmd" then hit the Enter key, this should bring up the Command Prompt
4. Type "e" and then hit the Tab key, this should replace it with extractor.exe
5. Now hit the Space Bar and drag your Hogs of War installation directory into the Command Prompt window, this should add a direct path to your Hogs of War installation directory
6. Finally, hit the Enter key - the Extractor will begin pulling everything across and converting it
7. Once done, you can close the cmd.exe window and launch OpenHoW.exe
8. With the game open, hit the Enter key and then Shift + Tab to open the console
9. Type in map followed by the name of the map, for example map dbowl or map camp

Use the arrow keys to move around and A / Z to look up or down. If you have a controller plugged in, using the analogue sticks should work as well.

If you have any difficulties then please get in touch on our Discord!
