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

The only executables in my main folder are:

Autorun
Mech
Modswap
Modswapdoc
SPWAW_Editor (this runs as the old 4.3)
STARTUPV

I unzipped the patch file to a "junk" folder and here are the contents:

Mech.exe
SPWAW 8.403 patch.doc
SPWAW OOB Editor vs 5.0 Notes.doc
SPWAW OOB Notes.doc

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.

Perhaps one more dumb question....

I've been away from SPWaW for a while (at least on the home machine) and just upgraded with the 8.403 patch. Unfortunately, I just saw in the notes that a 8.402 patch was also released.

My question: Did I screw up by not patching with 8.402 first?

I thin it just replaces the mech.exe. So the 8.402 fixes/changes would be included already.

Problem: I'm taking single battles with Finns against Soviet AI and the Finns get so few default points that they don't even have the A0 HQ unit than 1/2 or 2/3 times.

Have to always set the points from the Prefs.
