"Classic OP Art of War" look

Post by Johnus »

I know I have seen an option for the old map look, but I can't find it. Anyone know where it is? Thanks.

For classic TOAW graphics, go to the installation directory "...\The Operational Art of War 4" and install the classic graphics pack from the file "Classic TOAW Graphics.EXE"

For classic TOAW toolbars in-game, please see the screenshot I uploaded. Click the button circled in red to expand the menu, then click on the button circled in yellow to restore the old toolbar interface.

Classic? Not on this monitor! One reason I stopped playing. Now I'm playing again. Buy a new monitor. Okay, that was bad. Forgive me. Everyone should play the way they want. And they say I'm stuck in my old ways.

Now that the new user interface is out I can't understand
why any player would want to use the old way.
We've all heard how computers can beat humans at anything computational but I've yet to meet a computer that can beat me at kick boxing.

The only bonus of the old is if you don't know all your NATO symbols. It gave a great graphic representation of what the unit was. That said I use the NATO symbols but I can see why someone would want that as an option. Just my 2 cents worth.

While I like the new interface, I do not use it because scrolling is too hard. I either cannot scroll down or it takes off and won't stop until the end of the map. I use classic for more control. Once it's fixed I'll use the new interface.
