'morning everyone.

A solution is in the works for the corrupted files that have sorta kinda bricked the game. I should hopefully have a fix ready by later today. Maybe.

ORIGINAL: **budd**

i've been away from SPWAW for awhile what does Mr. find do? ......I can deduce it finds stuff[;)] why and for what...couldn't find any docs on it.

It's just a little search app that looks for whatever you want in either the scenarios or maps.
Type in Redleg, all of his scenarios pop up
Type in Stalingrad to find all scenarios set in ....... Stalingrad.
etc etc etc
Same thing with maps.

There's no docs for this, open it up, find the directory of the game, and start typin'.

This is just an easy way to source out anything specific, that's all.

Unfortunately patch seems not to work in my end[:(]... I unzpped patch, installed cmt's into scen folder. Then I went to Editor. Chose "load scenario". Crash immediately[8|]... Any help?

edit:Now scen loading works[:D]!!! I was accidentaly installed fixed cmt's into SPWAW's scen folder. But after some thinking and checking I noticed that enh-scen folder is better place[:'(]... Thanks about patches anyway!

[center]______________________[/center]


Revisions to V1.1

#1 - FIXED

In an effort to comprehensively label the Scenarios we ran into the problem of borking the "More" button on a few of the Scenario screens.

#2 - FIXED

Campaign #60: Airborne PBEM needed fixing as some of the AUX troops weren't showing up cuz they weren't tagged as AUX.

#3 - FIXED

We had edited the .cmt files for the scens with the wrong editor which resulted in the game crashing.

#4 - UPGRADED

An updated file to fix the arty screen problem has been included. Computers with up to eight physical cores can now reliably use the game.


You can find this at This Link

Unzip to C/the depot/spwaw/enh fr/scen

This all we need to do. Change to zip extension and unzip to the above directory, Even the artillery fix?

Yes - you are referring to the link on post #62

no need to change any extensions
the .zip file when unzipped will have 3 folders. They will tell you where they need to go.
all the .cmt's go in the Scen folder
4 files for the Campaign folder
overwrite all the files in these 2 folders

and a couple ( the arty stuff) for the root (then ya got to do the needfull in re-directing icons and such, as discussed above - I think?) Lemme know if further directions are needed.

HEY!, how do you like the new sounds???


cheers


MM

Sounds are great[:'(]! Can't wait to get them into SPWW2 too[;)]...

I really like some of the new sounds, others not so much
I really like the new grenade sound, and the added effects for the tank Gun firing sounds, Luv the new Soviet SU gun sound
luv the new ricochet, and penetration sounds
however, we used an 'actual' MG34 firing for the MG34 LMG sound, and that was changed to something kinda generic sounding
also dont care for the 30 cal MG sounds, and new 81mm Mortar explosions (not as good sound quality IMO) and the US 105mm Tank gun sounds kinda wimpy lol
oh well, to each his own, I can always swap em back in my install

[:D]

Yeah, i agree. Some of the sounds ..... well.
Overall I really think there is a definite improvement, to the degree that I took whatever I could get from Hexhammer (the creator of the majority of the new sounds) but there was too much to oversee, just couldn't go through each and every effect.

I also have been mulling the thought of switching out some of the weaker sounds.
Hmmmmmmmm, maybe a thread is needed for replacement sounds. mmmmmmmmm

The ambient "background battle" FX are awesome IMHO.



MM

MajorMess how nice it is too have this all in one download. Thank you so much. You may not realize it but for someone(like myself) who is not good at working through the previous find ,load into folders, etcetera. To have it all so easily at hand now what a blessing my friend.so I downloaded and followed the directives. So now I have2 installed. The older one was under a different file name. I presume I uninstall the older loaded game, right? Since I don't need it any more.

Ya like I said, there is a lot of good new ones in there, everyone has their own taste
Ive already switched the ones I mentioned, MG 34 LMG , 30 Cal, Sherman 105(Which I switched to the bazooka sound now), 81mm, and and a couple other, back to the previous ENH fr files
doesn't mean they are better, just that I like them better for me
Once I get them all figured out I'll upload a file, itll be big tho so....

there is a 'sound map' file that tells you what almost all the sound files are for
it was in Generals edition main folder
That file along with the KED Icon List would have been good items to include

Btw, I noticed in "Ancient Enemies" scen Turan 1 icon seems not to be shown (some way damaged icon file)[8|]... Anybody else seen this too?

The unit is set to use the correct Icon in the oobs
must be a glitch in the scenario

I just tried this .... I played as the Hungarians and the icons for all the tanks - Turan I & II, toldo looked OK. I know that I really had to work on that scen to get it right, and one of those Turans series was a big part of the problem. I know one type of tank didn't show on the version I was working from.
I don't mean to be dumb, but are you sure you tried this on the ENH-FR D/L from the Depot?

If it's still a problem I'll dig deeper into it.
