Whenever, or if ever, it becomes available where you are, get an ADSL line. The a 300mb download becomes a snap.

Another question , is there any where a good SPOBEDIT program that I can down load for SPW@W?

In the SP-1&2 ROF was indicated but you couldn't change it... thats to say even if I used the SPOBEDIT it made no difference to the game. Has this been changed to the game?

Two things, guys.

One: Red Baron. Your generosity amazes me. You are an asset to the gaming community.

Two. Computer Gaming World (Dec Issue) has what I believe is V4 in the envelope. It cost about $8 or $9 U.S. This cuts down dramatically on what it takes to get a current copy of the game.

Yes, there is an OOB editor included with the game - many gamers use this.

There is also a link in the OOB editor to a better editor that you can buy. It's $20, and it's pretty good!

Hey Paul, sorry, this thread got lost to me somwhow. I'm glad you have the game and it is working (I assume that it is).

No, no bad feelings on my part. I want everyone who can to get the game. I wish I knew better ways of distribution but with no income from it, it limits what can be done.

Fortunately we have good folks around here always ready to help.

Steel Beasts, huh? Quite a game. A nice tank sim. I did not know you worked on that. Good job!

Like you, I blanched when I saw that SPWAW required a 300M download. I got version 3 via PC Gamer (I think that's right). However, I saw that upgrading to v.4 would require another big download (I live in the wilds of Maine. I'm grateful I even have phone service that works 75% of the time). The December issue of Computer Gaming World has come to my rescue with v.4. Plus there's a really good article about the upcoming "Return to Wolfenstein" (hmmmmmm, killing Nazis).

Have fun.

First bussiness, there's no way in hell I'm going to down load a >300Mb anything , is there any retail outlets for this product?Can you buy it on line and is that secure?

Yes Thanks I got it running , now I just have to work out how to convert my SP-1s scen to W@W.....Hey does anyone know if theres a big archive to send Scen to for SPW@W? I thought that 'WWW wargammer.com' would of by now but doesn't seem that way?

No problems Bill, I've got a bad rep going on boards like CM and raising hell because I don't like the way they've done things ....make enemies fast...but its all in the interest of making the games better 'so its all good'!!

My roll in SB was the advisor cap and I redid the armor for them...helping SPMW in the same way.But I realy love what Al & Nils have done and I'm really proud to be apart of there team [even if we don't get paid]....we're working on T-72 extension for SB , so look out for that!

Bill we're a part of a fraternity of people who work on these games for the luv of it!
