This is what is in the patch:



...and this is what is in the OAW128 folder:

I think they would be happy with that. As long as the "patch" / OAW front-end does not include reg files.

https://eaw.neocities.org/codegroup-patches.html#128
I have a list of files on that help doc link of the reg files needed for 128 to function.

So only in my opinion you can't do that. (I'm not speaking for Tommo/Retroism or GoG or any developer).

Up to you. I clearly just want it to be informed.

EDIT: But I do like it as an option to use 128-gog or 12-gog.

It is a true patch and not a stand-alone version. It must be applied to a copy of an existing GoG installation.
The only file that is not 100% ours or public domain material is the 1.28 GoG eaw.exe.

Mr Jelly thanks for the continued work you do on EAW it’s appreciated. Hope it’s okay to ask a question. I purchased the 1st version of EAW that was available on Gog and downloaded and installed quick shot II, seems to run fine. I’m a SP flyer not really interested in MP, does your patch add more etc to the game than quick shot?
Again many thanks mate
Regards

I would have to check out QuickShot

Ahh fair enough mate, you’re busy enough as it is, il make a separate install and look at both, I should have done that anyway

Again many thanks Mr Jelly

Edit.. yeah sorry Jel it’s Great shot isn’t it not bloody Quick shot

Wouldn't that be 'Great Shot II'? A great add-on, would really immensely sharpen up the GOG version.

Haha Yeah Skyhigh, Great shot not bloody quick shot i installed that over the original GOG release, not spent a great deal of time so far with it but the time I have spent has been really enjoyable mate.

I bundled up Great Shot as a "complete set" for OAW 128, and it works out really well.

Ahh Cheers Moggy, il definitely take a look mate.

Where is the link for "Great Shot II" ?

Marks EAW site, click on my downloads at the top..scroll down a touch to the GAME section click on the blue "game-addons" it takes you to a Mediafire folder with loads of stuff (didnt want to link straight to Mediafire because i know some folks dont like it)
HTH Mr Jelly


EDIT: Scratch that, for some strange reason i now get music but a black screen on Great Shot II ??? ...the OAW patch dated March 31st however works perfect, such a shame as Great shot II looks really good

You'll find it in Tally Ho>Community Page>EAW Frontlines>Black Adder's Self-Installing Campaigns, where it is described both as Great Shot and Great Shot II, but I think it's actually the latter.

Thanks.
I have it running with OAW in the GoG patch

That’s brilliant Mr J, you’ve got Great Shot II working with the Gog 1.28 original release or the 1.2 version ? I’m on the earlier Gog 1.28 release with the excellent OAW patch, again thanks it’s a great easy way to change theatres, planesets ect.

I made a link to a patch to install "Great Shot II" in the GoG-OAW set-up.
It was posted in the "Patch for owners of the GoG release of EAW" thread, but this is the link if you want it

Thanks Adger
For the life of me I cannot figure out why some people oppose having a front-end for EAW management.
People who actually use the various front-ends know better

Mr Jelly, your the man..excellent stuff. Really appreciated thanks so very much for yours and others continued work on EAW.
I cannot understand it either, it’s so easy and simple to use? It even unloads previous theatres before starting a new one so your not left with loads of files clogging everywhere up. Truly brilliant stuff.

The only trouble with OAW and other file-managers used with any of the exes before 1.28e is that the continual pasting of 100s of files into the root folder and their later deletion can fragment HDDs.
The "Dir.set" system introduced in 1.28e stopped this. Only one file is pasted to change the theatre, and just two more to change the plane-set

Broke down and grabbed the GOG version earlier,,At first It was running in a window but looked and found the D#D setup thing and got it full screen now..But seems a bit stretched I think I can fix that but not sure what setting it is Aspect Ratio ???.But It's good to start with a clean 1.2 setup..Next up is to grab Jelly's patch setup,Hopefully I'll get it in right by going through the posts in order..One thing I noticed on install is all my flight sims go to C:\Flight I entered that on the install and now I have a second C:\Flight directory no worries just a weird thing..And it has the ugly stock terrain I need to fix that,then it's to Sandbaggers and figure out how to add some of the campaign setups in..Notably GSII and SWOTL.But it starts fine..clear menu screens and runs well in glide.Well worth the $5
