I never got ModSwap to work, ever.

Just unpack his files and replace the originals.

MM

That is disconcerting to hear.
Ummmmm, I'll be the first to admit that this powershell magic is beyond me. This was in response to some concerns that a nefarious soul could inject some digital awfulness into the game. Transparency and all that.
Why it doesn't work for you with Win 11 is a mystery ...

Hey Willy!
Long time no see.
How y'all doin'? Is the world treating you right?


cheers
MM

Come on, MM.. you're being very unDude here.


Ha ha ha,
I shall abide.

My snarky personal comments were not warranted, and I apologize for that.


I am still somewhat confused as to why someone on this board is allowed to promote other companies products so blatantly, but I'll let go of that ...

Hi V2!

Sigh .......

This will probably get me banned, what what the hell.

This Zovs character is nothing more than a shill for Shrapnel.
He has no idea what he is talking about.
He tried to run SPWaW on a Mac using an emulator. Quelle surprise when that doesn't work right.

The game works fine ...

Hi!

The patch we created was for Matrix Games SPWaW.

I have NO IDEA why Shrapnel would steer you towards this patch.
Could it be a touch of Game Envy??? ha ha ha

In spite of what some Shrapnel fanboys on this site proclaim, the Matrix version is better.

cheers
MM

Hi,
I just noticed this.
I might be able to help.

Lemme see what resources I can pull up for you.

stand bye.

MM

Hi!

Since computers went multi-core, SPWaW couldn't cope with tapping the Y key, which is too bad cuz it was very convenient
We thought that we might have fixed it when we created the arty screen patch, but .... nope. TBF we didn't think to attack that issue until later, but the team had scattered ...

Off the top of my head ...

Do you have Command & Control switched on???
Find it on the Preferences screen, under Realism.

If not, I could take a look at your scen.

cheers, and Good Luck.

MM

Hmmmm, this should work.

Open up the SPWaW OOB Editor V5.0 in the root folder of your GE version. Find the unit you want and hit the Copy button.
Now find and open the same "SPWaW OOB Editor V5.0" in your 2016+ version. Find an open slot in the Italy OOB and click on the Paste button.

Repeat for ...

Another thought.
For the longest time (pretty well since the artillery bug became a thing) the gamer - between campaign nodes - would be limited to change/update only one unit at a time. After the change you had to get out of that screen, then return to make further changes. I agree, kinda ...

Off the top of my head, I recall that there "could" be issues in a self generated campaign if you used any Nations other than the big six (UK/USA/Sov/Ger/Italy/Jpn). I can't remember what the "issues" were and I might have remembered this all wrong.

The only other thought I had was ..... have you ...

Hi.
May I ask how many Formations and Points did you give to yourself?

From the Matrix Manual, page 24: Max Formations - ... The game supports 100 per side (that means Formations. MM edit) with 400 Units per side maximum.

I'm betting that your forces are ginormous and so that leaves little room ...

Probably best that we start a new thread.

DxWnd is a wrapper that allows old programs to be run on new OS's, in a window.

Download the latest version from https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/files/ . that is currently V2.05.97.
Unpack the files to a folder, and then place the folder anywhere ...

Give me a day and I'll crank out a how-to setup and use the latest build.

cheers

MM

....... can someone please tell me what dxwnd is?


DxWnd is a small program that allows full screen programs (like SPWaW) to run in a re-sizable window. On top of allowing old timey programs to run on a new OS, DxWnd also has the capabilities to render the video display through your GPU in your ...

I have just tried the SPWaW enhanced version after previously playing just SPWW2. I have to say that I prefer it.



totally agree
zero latency for the program and more lethality for infantry in the game


If y'all like that, you might be interested in a mod that i'm developing.
Less arcade ...

Don't be holding your breathe there Matt.

We must be thankful for what we already have.
C'est la Vie!!

MM

BTW .... awfully good to see you're still with us.
cheers

Ummmmm, after a battle you will come to a Fix and/or Replace screen.
This is where you can upgrade.
Pro Tip: once you have fixed and replaced everything to your liking, Always mash that (I think it's called???) Repair All button. That will go through all your units, and will fix minor damages not ...

Here we go!. Lookin' after the fans of this game.
I dug through my files and found 'em!
Due to the rules in place at matrix, we can't upload/download *.zip files so I've changed the extension to *.txt.
Switch them back, unpack them and install. (maybe make copies before you overwrite)



cheers ...
