How dare you ! biggrin

Of course I don't mind at all. Thank you for that, and thanks thealx for finding the culprit colon.
By the way, I just can not format the code in the example section of the wiki page with the box and the returns. I wrapped it with nowiki tags though. Could you explain me how you do it? Thank you.

You indent the first nowiki by a single space. It's a subtle trick, and not sure why it works.

I found the information in this page...

https://m.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting

Look at the Preformatted Text Block section

Computer sciences will remain magic for me I am afraid...
I have added the magical space, and lo and behold, the code box is now right before your eyes (well in the wiki).
Thanks for the trick messyhead.

Just like Viper1970 warned me, one has to install the game to a EECH folder, add the 1.15.4 mods, rename the folder to EECH1154, then install the game again to a new EECH folder, add the 1.16.0 mods and rename the folder to EECH1160.
Choosing which version to fly implies renaming the selected version's folder to EECH, flying, then renaming the folder back to its previous name.
Not very complicated, but a bit tedious.

The installation part can not be skipped, bur I have just found a way to make the version selection and game launching much
easier.
I have written a batch file, that asks me which version I'd like to fly, then rename the folder to EECH, launch cohokum.exe, then when the exe quits, renames the folder back. ALL BY ITSELF.
I have just tested it, and it works great!
Let me translate it from French to English, and add a few explanations about the paths required, and I'll post it here.

I was just too happy not to share it tonight straight away!



All the original EE stuff is in a folder called Razorworks.


The term "necroposting" was invented by a person with no social memory beyond a year. People with a similar hangup are those o.k. with the internet being transient vapor.

Hey guys.
So I tried the steps in the Wiki Page, however I'm stuck at "Install EECH again". Since the Installer detects the previous install, it wants to uninstall it first. I tried to hide / rename folders and executables, but I guess it's looking up the registry.
So, any Ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Hi GAFflyer,

Did you remember to rename the EECH folder to something else before you tried to install another version ?

i.e.

As I understand it you:

Install EECH and mod to whichever version you want (1.15.2)
Rename the EECH folder to EECH1152
Install EECH again and mod to another version (1.16.0)
Rename EECH folder to EECH1160

Hope that helps,

Andy

You could try using the EECH installer from thealx. It lets you have more than one install.

You get it from http://eech.online
