The Registry settings look ok but please screenshot inside the Options folder. Also did you use a UK version of the CD to install?
Try disabling your Antivirus and Windows Defender services, via Control Panel -> Administrative Tools ->Services as it might be preventing our mod fix .dlls to run.
1) could an enemy archer unit be instructed to attack closest player's unit, instead of whoever triggered his boundary 2) or stop following a unit it is after perhaps, to avoid being lured down the map. 3) could melee troops disengage after a certain amount of damage like archers on Trading Post
Thanks to Ghabry combining Aqrit's ddraw.dll code into darkpatch.dll we can now try using dgvoodoo's ddraw.dll again, to play Dark Omen in full 3d mode using the emulated Direct X. (If you only have a low end graphics card that is unable to play 3d mode already).
I've quickly tested dgvoodoo's 2.54 and 2.45 with the usual settings and have it partially working, so will continue testing and post any successful Voodoo settings.
Thanks Ghabry, your new darkpatch.dll allows in-game changing of mods really easy now and xslots & 3d still works fine as does Multiplayer LAN & Multiplayer Game Ranger using Dark Omen 2 mod. I've just updated the mod pack and currently testing dgvoodoo's ddraw.dll
In the future it will be great to have predefined named scripts that fans can copy and paste such as archer unit retreat after number of hits like on mission 1.
All other mods such as Cuthalion's excellent Wood Elves and Undead/Skaven campaigns were created before all mods tools were completed and added in the Dark Omen 2 standard template mod which also includes Multiplayer. Therefore they have different xslot entries names etc, so can not easily be updated hence the need for the Dark Omen 2 standard template mod for fans to use. Feel free to clone any mod as your starting point.
There is no mission 3 yet as B6_01 & B6_02 are the first mod maps that were used to prove new maps can be added, so mission 3 just begins the original game until we add all the other maps for campaigns to use.
which will just play the original game maps or equally if you don't even have a whtmg.txt file present.
All units are deployed to allow us to inspect their new sprites, banners, shields and 3d heads. Change PLYR_ALL.ARM with Wh32Edit to not auto deploy all the characters. Remember this is a mod map template which saves fans the hassle of having to add a lot of their own BTB deployment data, so it's prebuilt if they need to deploy any number up to the max and can instead control the amount via PLYR_ALL.ARM

ps. the Dark Omen 2 mod adds the following lines in to the original whtmg.txt to add B6_01 & B6_02 maps which is a modified copy of the original first 2 missions but with the map name changed
