If you install the patch and run the "OAW2021Full.exe" you should see this:
[Linked Image]

You can change the resolution and the extra squads value.

Clicking in the "Complete Sets" tab gives you this:
[Linked Image]

You can select a "package", load it and launch the game.
It is a good idea to click the "Del MSN" button to clear the "DefaultMSN" files from the "SaveData" folder if you change the theatre.
These files store settings from previous games which may be non-existant in a new theatre and cause a CTD wink


Clicking in the "World Settings" tab gives you this:
[Linked Image]

You can see what is loaded and make new settings.
Note: A folder named "E 1.28 original" was installed in the "OAW128" folder.
It seemed to be buggy so I have removed it from my PC.



Clicking in the "Music and Autoscripts" tab gives you this:
[Linked Image]

The packages have made saving autoscripts redundant, but you can change the EAW music on this page.

Default hit bubbles:
The CDF files are from the original GoG release which was their version of EAW 1.28.
The default hit bubbles were reduced in size because gun convergence had been introduced.
This makes things trickier if you load the "E-1.2 GoG" exe which does not have gun convergence.
Hovever, if you want to fly the default EAW with the "E-1.2 GoG" exe then simply fly the original installation, and do not use OAW wink
The theatres (in W- folders such as "W-ModSquadBoB" in the "OAW128" folder) do not have files with reduced hit bubbles.

Cool. So this OAW patch is installed directly over the basic GoG install? Nothing else needed?

Hi Jel,

Just wanted to drop a short note of thanks. OAW128 is working great on top of my GOG install. I have it in a separate install and I'm enjoying it immensely. Thanks again for putting it together.

Cheers!

Sorry but I am confused wink

Did you patch a 1.26 installation?

The " Steam_OAW_2022V2 EAW1.2" patch was made to patch a copy of a steam installation.

Do you not have the Steam or the GoG version?

There is no other link - you have to BUY the game from example EAW at GOG.com

Anyway here's a tool and details for extracting Innosetup files (.exe extractors) and useful for such as Gog games;

Inno Setup is a tool to create installers for Microsoft Windows applications. innoextract allows to extract such installers without running the actual setup executable under Windows or using Wine. innoextract currently supports installers created by Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.2.1. (details]

Author: Daniel Scharrer (daniel@constexpr.org)
License: zlib/libpng

In addition to standard Inno Setup installers, innoextract also supports some modified Inno Setup variants including Martijn Laan's My Inno Setup Extensions 1.3.10 to 3.0.6.1 as well as GOG.com's Inno Setup-based game installers. innoextract is able to unpack Wadjet Eye Games installers (to play with AGS), Arx Fatalis patches (for use with Arx Libertatis) as well as various other Inno Setup executables. See the list of limitations below.

While developed on Linux, innoextract is cross-platform and meant to work with any C++03 to C++17 compiler, architecture and operating system supported by CMake, Boost, liblzma and (optionally) iconv.

Announcements https://constexpr.org/feed.rss

innoextract 1.9 released


2020-08-09
  • Added preliminary support for Inno Setup 6.1.0
  • Added support for a modified Inno Setup 5.4.2 variant
  • Fixed output directory being created for unsupported installers
  • Fixed some safe non-ASCII characters being stripped from filenames
  • Fixed handling of path separators in Japanese and Korean installers
  • Fixed build with newer Boost versions
  • Windows: Fixed heap corruption
  • Windows: Fixed garbled output
See the full changelog for more details.

Download


The current version of innoextract is 1.9 (changelog):

The files have been signed with this OpenPGP key (28555A66D7E1DEC9).
Windows binaries should work on XP or newer.
The Linux tarball includes x86, amd64 and ARMELv6j+hardfloat+vfp (Raspberry Pi compatible) binaries.
FreeBSD binaries are built against FreeBSD 9.1, but will likely also work on other versions.
All 32-bit binaries are compiled for i686 (Pentium Pro or newer). 64-bit binaries are included for some platforms.

Older versions are still available for download.

There is also a port of innoextract to Android by Alan Woolley.
macOS
There are no pre-built innoextract binaries for macOS (formerly OS X), but there are also MacPorts and Homebrew packages.
You can also build it yourself by downloading the source code and then following these instructions.

If your distribution is not listed, first check Repology's package version list as well as the appropriate repositories in case someone already created a package for your distribution. If you create your own packages or find one that isn't listed here, please let me know so that I can add them.
Usage


To extract a setup file to the current directory run:$ innoextract <file>

A list of available options can be retrieved using$ innoextract --help

Documentation is also available as a man page:$ man 1 innoextract
Compatibility


innoextract cannot guarantee good forward compatibility as the Inno Setup data format changes frequently. The following table lists the supported versions:
innoextract 1.9 or newer Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.2.1
innoextract 1.8 Inno Setup 1.2.10 to 6.0.5
innoextract 1.7 Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.6.1
innoextract 1.6 Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.9
innoextract 1.5 Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.6
innoextract 1.3 to 1.4 Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.5.5
innoextract 1.0 to 1.2 Inno Setup 1.2.10* to 5.4.3* innoextract 1.7 and older cannot extract installers created by Inno Setup 1.3.0 to 1.3.23.
GOG.com Installers


GOG.com installers with a 2.x.x version number on the download page or in the filename use Inno Setup 5.5.0 and cannot be extracted by innoextract 1.2 and older. Older installers use Inno Setup 5.2.3 and usually have no version in the filename.

Some GOG.com multi-part installers with version 2.1.x or higher use RAR archives (renamed to .bin) to store the game data. These files are not part of the Inno Setup installer. However, innoextract 1.5 or newer can extract them using the --gog option if either unrar or unar is installed.

Other newer GOG.com installers don't include the raw files directly but instead store them in GOG Galaxy format: split into small parts which are then individually compressed. These files are named after their MD5 hash and stored in the tmp directory, for example "tmp/ab/d7/abd72c0dddc45f2ce6098ce3a286066a". innoextract 1.7 or newer will automatically re-assemble these parts and extract the original files unless the --no-gog-galaxy option is used.

Some multi-part GOG.com installers use .bin slice files larger than 2 GiB - extracting these requires innoextract 1.8 or newer on 32-bit platforms. Older versions failed with a "bad chunk magic" error.
Limitations
  • There is no support for extracting individual components and limited support for filtering by name.
  • Included scripts and checks are not executed.
  • The mapping from Inno Setup constants like the application directory to subdirectories is hard-coded.
  • Names for data slice/disk files in multi-file installers must follow the standard naming scheme.


Also see the list of planned/requested enhancements on the issue tracker.

Another (Windows-only) tool to extract Inno Setup files is innounp.

ps. The main reason i dug this up is to extract the 1.28D patch - but useful for Gog stuff too.
