Had 8.2 in there for V1 and some people said they got messages saying they needed to upgrade to 8.2

If they really had 8.2 then it has to be just some random bug in ModSwap. [&:]

I'd bet on a random bug in ModSwap. But I have no clue about it.[:(]

What am I suppose to do with the 60 meg .SPM file? Its not a packed file, its not a executive file, its not an image. Should I bake it, boil it, fry it, grill it or what? How am I suppose to install it?

BBQ works best.

Go into thy SPWaW directory (where the game is installed, 'C:\Matrix Games\Steel Panthers World At War' for me). Then Go to thy Mod directory. Thou hast to put thy copy of the mod in there. Then, thou must run Modswapper.

I have no problems installing it, with v8.4. It's not on this computer, but I usually only play SPWaW on my other computer, and stuff like Doom 3 and GTA Vice City on this one, so it doesn't matter.

1. Download the Mod file into the MODS folder in your Steel Panthers game folder. The Mod should be named SPWAW Enhancedv2.spm, but .zip files will work too.

2. Run the ModSwapper program. It is located in your main Steel Panthers game folder. The left pane shows all Mods that have been installed; the right pane shows the description of the Mod when it has been selected.

3. Under the File tab, select the Install option.

4. In the window that opens, select the Mod you wish to install. The program should open the MODS folder by default; if it doesn't, navigate to this folder using the Look In: feature. By default, files with the .spm extension are shown; to use a .zip file, change the Files of Type selection box to ZIP Files (*.zip).

5. A new screen opens, showing the description of the Mod you selected. Click on the OK button to install the file.

6. The left pane will now show the file installed. Exit the ModSwapper program.

Got it installed and working. The game looks much better on my new 32" LCD tv than it did with the old 19" CRT (it was just horrible looking on the 19"). No pixelation (the LCD autosmooths the picture). And the graphs updates help too. Feel like starting to play spwaw all over again. Still the best of its kind.
