RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Fubar - 12-19-2006 Is Enhanced meant for solo play against the AI and HTH for PBEM, or can both be played PBEM/online? 
RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Kpt Lothar - 12-19-2006 so, how do i use h2h. dual installation? is there sth like modswapper that works with h2h? RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Greybeard - 12-19-2006 Hello Kpt, With H2H you have to do a 2nd install.. no 'mod swapper' available. also there is a little work to get H2H running on newer SPWAW versions. H2H was designed for SPWAW v7.1.. So when installing into SPWAW v8.0 and above you need to do the following: 1st - you need another file.. it is found at here at the blitz under the 'downloads' area. You need to find the 'steel panthers' folder and a file named 'vid998' - it's about 60mb zipped. 2nd - install WAW a 2nd time - and name the folder something like SPH2H to prevent confusion. 3rd delete the 'scen' and 'campaign' folders - H2H comes with it's own set. 4th - install the H2H (it is self installing) into the new WAW folder. 5th - copy the 'vid998.smk' file into the 'sound/stream' folder found in WAW/H2H. 6th - create a new desktop shortcut that targets the 'mech.exe' file found in the WAW/H2H main folder. Done- now open the game, and the menu panel should say 'colonel, this is Head to Head.. and the version at the bottom will say '7.1' You should be ready to play.. -Greybeard RE: A little playtesting with H2H - retired from gaming - 12-19-2006 Steve, stupid question : why would you like to finetune H2H if you are happy with winWW2 :) Retail version has 250 PBEM slots, isnt it enough .... LOL RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Greybeard - 12-19-2006 Hello Maciej, Well, - the only stupid questions are the ones that are never asked.. LOL :whis: Would you believe that I don't have a really good answer to that? -Perhaps it's just my nature as an engineer - always looking for ways to (hopefully) improve something.  To that end - when I was first working on the drafting board, one of my fellow designers had a creed (we called it the 'drafters creed').. Was as follows: "Everything is subject to change, therefore, never draw more in the morning than you can erase in the afternoon."  Another favorite is: Our desire is to fulfil your wish.. the worse you want it, the worse we can make it, and if you want it bad, you get it bad.. (I don't know how this will translate out of english).. Besides- I don't really have a save game space problem.. 1 install of WAW 7.1 (yeah, I still have it around) 1 install of WAW/H2H 7.1 1 install of WAW-Enhanced/HTH 2 installs of WinWW2 3 Installs of WinMBT I think if my dear wife knew that I had a capability to save 250 PBEM games... :rolleyes: Later - Greybeard RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Greybeard - 12-19-2006 Hello Kpt Lothar, Opps - silly me, didn't answer the question completely.. All the SP variants are intended to be able to play PBEM. Only the SPWAW variants can play online. IMHO, the unmodified WAW's are perhaps better suited for play against the AI Alby's 'enhanced' is very good, as is H2H.. I'm looking forwards to exploring Enhanced-HTH also. WinWW2 and WinMBT are also better for PBEM than play against the AI. -Greybeard RE:��A little playtesting with H2H - retired from gaming - 12-19-2006 Greybeard Wrote:Hello Maciej, I like the creeds.... I think I understand your point - why not have 2 good things instead of just one. ooopss- good my wife doesnt see that one LOL RE: A little playtesting with H2H - Alby - 12-19-2006 Vesku Wrote:Well not all have oddities, only some of them.Alby Wrote:I consider scen working when it does not have oddities or wrong icons.Vesku Wrote:Scens work only with the mod or version they were planned for.NOT true, many of the original scenarios have been tested and played with Enhanced...some of course have some oddities as far as crazy weapons or displaying the wrong Icons, but alot still play fine.. :) |
