Never fooled around with the oob's and I decided it was time. The oob's in the game folder are all text files, but the ones made by Warhorse and Arralen, for example are some thing else. What type file are they? How do I use them? Any thing else I, or others should be aware of? Tankheads site has the original oob's for download, but I don't think there is a version on it. I'm in fear of screwing up the files so I can't play email games when 4.4 is fixed. Soapbox time

The manual that comes with W@W is the best that ever hit the stage, no doubt about it. The net is a wonder. What do these have in common? The above probably could have been found by me else where. But you know what? I like the personal aspect of forum boards very much. After all, you only read the directions after you broke it right?

Howdy The actual oob files are in the main game directory, they are named oob## without any .txt or similar ending. You edit and view these best with the included oobeditor. The text files you may have found from the oob subdirectory are simply lists of changes that were made to the oob's when the game advanced from 2.x version to ver. 4 If you want to edit the oob files it's best you take the oob's from the main directory and copy them someplace safe. Thus if/when your email game gets sc%&wed you can have the original oob from the backup. Voriax ------------------ OOB-Wan Kenobi
