Panzer Leo and H2H

I should point out that using a service like Streamload is a faster/cheaper alternative to burning a CD and mailing it. You just upload the files, move them to your 'hosted' (public) folder, and send the link to the other party.

If you want to compare the competition (there's a bunch of them) go to a search engine like Yahoo and look up 'file hosting'.

So ... I'm a little lost with all this ...
a simple question then: when and where will it be avaiable for download?

I opened the account and sent the necessary info to PL last night...once he uploads the patch the guys at The Blitz should be able to download it almost immediately, and place it on their site.

Check your mailbox: I sent you a 'reward' for your patience.

The patch has been sent...shouldn't be long now!

Woo hoo

Anybody have a direct link to the Blitz's H2H download? I was over there yesterday and nothing looked like a download for it, be it old or new, but then I didn't exhaust all the possibilities either. Thanks.

Charles, I believe this is where the new H2H will show up:

Belisarius: Thanks. I guess it'll work, as I can't even get on their home page right now.

That hopefully means they're already working on it

Panzer Leo: Same thing I was thinking. Do you think the default directories are the same as the time before (on the install I mean)?

Belisarius · Post by **Belisarius** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 7:50 pm

Hm. Made a small change to the linky - now you can access the directory. Still no update. Ah....the suspense! :p

Charles2222 · Post by **Charles2222** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 7:54 pm

Hmm. I just tried the link provided for here, and I'm direct into the file (never seen a link like that before. Anyway, I'm sort of spooked about this being a full install, or so it's named. IS that the only possible file and there's not one for going from the previous version to this one? I'm hoping I'm not going to get a double full install out of this. Unfortunately I'm at work at the moment and won't be able to install till I do so at home.

I guess the file will be huuuuge anyway, since all the new graphics for the upcoming 7.2 will be included in this one as well.... alot mor than 44 MB at least.

Anyway, it says Dec 8 on the file now, so I guess that's not it. Leo, do you know what the new file will be called?

Gallo Rojo · Post by **Gallo Rojo** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 8:05 pm

Hello Leo!
Do you have a file that sum up the changes and improvenmet for this new version? I would like to have it for trasnlate it to Spanish and post it in the fans' Spanish Speakers web page.

Charles2222 · Post by **Charles2222** » Fri Jun 06, 2003 9:09 pm

Ah, now that's more along the lines of what I was expecting, only, if Belisarius is correct the new file is absent.

Nope...I just tried it..Blitz still has the old 44mb version up..

I changed them to automatically run on v7.1 with "Matrix Games" and not "MatrixGames"...that's the only thing you gotta look for when installing...

The download site will have an update on the changes, though only very rough...I didn't spent much time on explaining the changes, but rather on actually implementing them

The changes really effecting gameplay are listed...the rest is mainly fine tuning and OOB work plus the big new graphics set by Tracer and Harry.

The whole thing is 65MB as download...at first I wanted to make a patch and a full download, but as the patch would have been about half the size of the full download (29MB or so), I skipped that idea...there will be only one full version to install...

Panzer Leo: Thanks. It's good to know the file size too, so I'll know the genuine article when I see it.

So, what we do is: backup our saved games, etc, from H2Hv1, then delete that directory, next install a clean SPWAWv7.1 and then install H2Hv2 over that, then paste our saves, etc. back into v2?
