NoEncryption -X -W option

Post by videXX »

Hello everybody,

could someone please tell me whether I have to install Cygwin, to use that -W or -X option? It isn't working so far, although I have made my shortcuts of the EXEs whith admin rights.
My system is Windows 7 (64). I am using patch 2.02.
I have created my own DCG, with several leaders and everything is working fine. Thank's a lot for the tremendous work of to developers team.

I like it very much that you have opend these old Talonsoft Game and make it more user friendly.
See, I would like to change some minor details like sound in the platoon.oob but am still blocked by this encryption thing.

Thanks a lot for your advice.[:'(]

Hi videXX

-X or -W or the combination of them are command line parameters for the game executables. As such, they are not available when kicking of a game from the Main Menu. To run a DCG campaign or a Battle Generation battle from the Menus is therefore available for encrypted stock data only.

You can, however, first generate a battle, then open it using Scenario Editor via -X and edit the scenario to include your own data additions. For instance, see my Diary HERE.

That answer your question?
