For you guys who play solo, I'm anxious for some feedback on the enhanced OOB Editor. First -- make a backup copy of all original 8.3 OOBs to a separate folder. This is necessary to avoid anomalies in designed scenarios/campaigns. Then, run ALL of the options for each of the 8.3 OOBs, and then play a generated solo battle/campaign.

Sorry not with you there
My oob editor looks exactly the same. I can't see any button for programmer conventions and i don't know how to run all of the options for each of the oobs.
Is there a way to edit these low morale ratings ?
Is it the actual Spwaw editor program that has been changed or are these options actually in the game. A'm I missing something obvious here

Soldier,

You should see (in the OOB editor 5.0) a button called 'batch options'. Select it, and there will be several options available. These are the new features. You select one or more, and apply it accross the board when asked. It only affects the OOB for the nation you selected to edit, and you should back-up the original.

Mike did not add the option of setting the ratings for each nations troops differently in this patch, but did state that it is being looked into.

Heres the problem, I should see it but I don't. Whereabouts in the oob editor is this button ? I only see "file" at the top which leads to edit, save, change etc all the same options as before. I have noticed changes in game play so some of the patch must have installed properly but can't yet find any additional options or menus

Under the "about" file it says
world at war: 1930-1949 editor vs 4.3
Sorry for all the dumb questions but where do you get the latest editor ? . I have downloaded the full version of 8.2 and just assumed that it was included with it

Keep in mind that if you're starting with 8.2, patches 8.3 and 8.4 also need to be successively applied.

Whoa, Gunny. Over on the Depot you wrote:

I was under the impression that I did not have to install the 8.4 patch and it's OOBs to run 8.403. Do I have to install 8.4 or no? Can I go straight from 8.3 to 8.403?

I'd rather bypass 8.4 if at all possible.

Thanks.

Hello...

Batch Options is a menu option.

The new Editor does NOT overwrite the old one. It has a NEW icon, and it should be in your main SPWaW folder.

Folks, just to clear up a few things about all these recent patches:

1. 8.3 was the last upgrade that included OOBs.
2. 8.4 was Mike's first update to the Mech.exe and SPWAW Editor files. The OOB Editor had the LBM data field bug fixed.
3. 8.403 is the latest version of Mike's upgrades to the Mech.exe and SPWAW Editor files. The editor was not included in the patch, unfortunately.

No OOBs were harmed in the making of these patches.
