I have been working on all sorts of things including the new Mediterranean theatre, hangar screens, minipics and non-flyable AI flight models. So, as there have been many changes to files and folders, I have made a new folder at OneDrive for a CDF free multiplayer set-up.

People who do not fly online are welcome to download and install it too- it is fine for offline play

There is one 7-zip self-installer in it "140MP" which when downloaded and run creates a standalone "140MP" folder.
Running the DSP in the folder gives you this:



I have not included any experimental/WIP theatres such as TWF and Moggy's IRAQ, and the old "ETO140" set-up is not there as I am currently working on that big "Planes_ETO" folder. However, there is a default ETO theatre available with the default EAW 1.2 aircraft.

The link to this file is http://1drv.ms/1Hme9QN

I would like to use it for tomorrow's games

If you download it do not forget to try it in multiplayer mode and to point GameRanger to the exe in the "140MP" folder.
Doing this will give you chance to resolve any firewall issues before we fly.

Hi Mr Jelly,

Can you re send me the Onedrive link the one I got is no longer working ???

Lolo

Hi Lolo, this is what i've been using but i can't find the new file!

Thanks Mr Jelly !

Hello,
A small question.
Why do not you do a self-installing file?
Would not it be easier for everyone ...
Thank you

Modred

It is a 7-zip self-installer

There is a link to a patch that I made to adjust some torpedo related things in the Mediterranean140 theatre and SPAW:

Download it and put it in your "140MP" folder. Do not run it until you have deleted or re-named the "Mediterranean140" and "Malta140_Planes" folders.

It will create new ones, and put a couple of torpedo graphics files in the "savedata" folder

Update done, we just need a few tests online

Anyone for a quick mission?

Home this evening if you want to try

Yep, after dinner..

Ok, i'm at GR now..

I must have missed you by about 5 minutes last night.
At 10 pm I headed downstairs after being at GR since 8.45

No problem Jel

I have made so many changes that there has to be a new download: http://1drv.ms/1OhPUDc
The "140Multiplayer" 7-zip creates a standalone "140Multiplayer" folder. My "eaw.ini" is in it and needs to be replaced.
Several major changes have been made to the exe:

1. There are two data loading routines which are meant to be called once only via the code in "setup.c".
They were not called in that file, but were called repeatedly in several other files. This had the potential to chew up and or leak memory and as a result cause problems.
In the new exes (supplied in the download) this has been fixed and they are now called once only via the code in "setup.c", and in no other routines.

2. There were two routines writing data to the "eaw.ini" file, one for offline settings and the other for multiplayer.
There is now one routine only that deals with all of the data.

3. There was a problem with some aircraft carriers in which the runway shifted when the mission was repeated. It depended on the TMod used for the carrier and the settings in it. Further investigation indicated that under the wrong circumstances a routine used to set the position of the sails of a windmill was moving the carrier TMod, not the runway. This has been fixed.

As a result the target set-up for ETO and the Mediterranean theatres have been changed. There is no problem with SPAW because the TMods used for the SPAW carriers did not have the rogue settings in their data files.

I have on some testing on the LAN and it seems to be OK, so ready to test online

AFAIK we are not heading out today, but tomorrow there is a birthday lunch at the Indian Restaurant in Sete then I should be home later in the afternoon

Thank you Tony...Runs well here
