Guide: How to setup the Armory Tool for Italy Patch

after quite a bit of trial and error i finally got it running with the newest patch. here is a quick guide:

1. download the armory tool release 1.0 at github.com/pvutov

2. check the file for potential security risks at virustotal.com (this is optional, but you really should do this with random files from the internet)

3. unpack the .zip into a new folder and open the folder

4. delete the file updater.exe

5. open the windows editor and create a file with the following content

   steam users:

    ndf:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\131544\NDF_Win.dat
    zz:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\116084\130278\ZZ_Win.dat
    zz4:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\116084\130278\ZZ_4.dat
    wrd:C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC
    autoupdate:false
    localCopies:true

    zz:C:\Program Files\Epic Games\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\116084\130278\ZZ_Win.dat
    zz4:C:\Program Files\Epic Games\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC\116084\130278\ZZ_4.dat
    wrd:C:\Program Files\Epic Games\WargameRedDragon\Data\WARGAME\PC
    autoupdate:false
    localCopies:true
   

6. save this file as settings.ini in the armory tool folder

7. create a new subfolder and name it local_copies

8. now open a second file explorer window and copy the 3 files mentioned in the first 3 lines in the settings.ini file into your local_copies folder (just the 3 plain files, without the subfolders). be careful to use the versions of the files from the correct subfolders.

9. now run armory.exe. if windows prevents it from running because it's not signed, click on "more info" in the text box and then the button "run anyway" will appear.
