Status: offline 		I recently bought a new computer and have been trying to get SPWAW working.

I Downloaded the Enh Version, from the site here, and went to install.

I got a missing file error.

"smackw32.dll"

Or do I have to download versions 8 + and then mod swap ?
If that is the case, can someone direct me to the earlier versions ?

Enh includes the 8.403 and IMO is all that you need if playing the AI.

Status: offline 		Alby, could you not post that file on the ENH d/l site? It's only 70kb.

What IS the smackW32.dll anyway? Does it have something to do with the opening video sequence? I do have it , and have no CTD issues. Strange that such a tiny file can give folks problems in running the game. It's a holdover from ancient times, isn't it?

I did a forum search, and found references going back to 2000.

it has something to do witth Modswapper, cause modswapper wont work without it.
I posted that file at the enhanced site, if anyone wants it.
look in Download Links, you must be registered.

Don't worry about it, man. It's a common problem. For a newbie, the exact upgrade path is confusing. We need a new sticky, maybe : "How to Get the Latest SPWaW Version", or something like that.

Goblin, you wanna step in and clear it up?
