WinSPWW2 v5.0 GUI mod

[Rosollia]

This mod contains highly altered or additional files that may or will cause interference with the master game files and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that this mod be installed and played ONLY in a separate copy of the game and NOT run from the master game

This mod is meant to be used only with version 5.0 of WinSPWW2. It should not be used with any other versions of the game.

This mod changes the graphical user interface (GUI) to have a more Steel Panthers 1 style look.






Attached is the mod and a backup zip file to revert back to the original graphics.

It would appear that this mod causes a crash on the CD version of the game. The Free version seems to run fine with it. This has been tracked down to the file "MBTOPEN.SHP". The mod can still be used for the CD version if the original MBTOPEN file is used instead of the modded one.

So if you have the CD version and want to use this mod you need to also download and unzip the MBTOPEN-ORIGINAL.zip file to your games \Graphics -folder. Alternatively you can just delete the MBTOPEN.SHP file from the mod files before copying them to your game folder.

Thanks to Cross for pointing this issue out and helping to find the solution for it.

P.S. Without the modded MBTOPEN.shp file you will see the original button graphics for the main game screen. Other screens should still show the modded graphics.



Affected graphics files:
Background.shp
Battle.Shp
BIGLCD.shp
BIGLCD2.shp
BIGLCD3.shp
BIGLCD4.shp

To install simply unzip the files to your main game directory.
