dl the DSPBasic.exe zip which contains the Dirsetpicker utility.


Extract them one at a time to your EAW128efullversion folder.

Example DAW.EXE

Download the Dirset and extract it to your EAW128efullversion folder. It should make its own DAW128e ? folder.

The folder made by extracting the Dirset tool, namely the DirSet folder will have various files for loading the prefered Dirset.
You load them by launching the Dirset utility now located in the EAW128eFullversion version.

The Dirset utility when you select a dirset from its menu will replace the Dir.set file in the EAW128eFullversion folder with that as the new Dir.set file. Thus the scenario files and all addons should load.

Then EAW 1.28e at launch will load the set.

Be sure you have the set in the EAW Game configuration menu CDF and NOT any of the Planeset folders 1-4.
That assures EAW is set to load whatever CDF set that will be pointed to by the dir.set file.
Normaly without any of these add-ons the default Dir.set file points to CDF files will be loaded from the ETO_01 folder. Or in otherwords the defult 1.28e files and not the additional Planeset folders.


So to load DAW just select DAW in Dirset folder.


Work around for linux or to do by hand:
The Dirset utility should probably run under WINE software on Linux but in any case one can if preferred do this by hand if you have the dirset file. Just rename the original Dir.set file origDir.set or whatever. Replace the file by simply copy for example the DAW file in the Dirset folder and rename it Dir.set and place it in your EAW1.28eFullversion folder.
