Arnaud uploaded it to the web site:
http://wir.levillage.org/
It should get up on Matrix's site real soon.
P.S. The Matrix package should include Rich's graphics, both aircraft and tanks. They are in a zip file called "AirTankRich.zip". If you want to wait to get it off Matrix's site, you won't need to go get Rich's package separately.

I'm about to look at this in a couple of minutes. How quickly I can get wirhack out depends on how much changed in the binary of the exe, and where those changes occurred. I'll do my best, but you may end up waiting till the latter half of the weekend, maybe Monday. Sorry, but it could happen that way.

Well I'm a strange guy too: I'm a lawyer but I'm preatty good in matematics as long I don't have to learn anything, just think. My father and my brother are matematican and I went to be a lawyer as revolt too <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> I'm pleased about my choice though. I play this wir game as a not too talented matematican: I believe in quality and quantity together.

It should be just the fix for HQs with 0 OPs. The readme file doesn't mention any other code changes (Arnaud never mentioned any other game changes), just the bundling of Rich's graphics, Denis's new map, and the old corps graphics for those how prefer the older look.

I wish I could puff myself up and talk about how difficult this is (hacking wir), unfortunately it isn't that hard at all, and there are others out there how can do this much better than I. No college math needed, all you need is to know x86 assembly, have a very good debugger, have a lot of patience, and a lot of free time. That's it.
