It makes sense to fix errors in work that you have released, so there is an update of the UAW160 versions of the "eaw.exe".

I did not discover the error until I added some snowy buildings and trees to the "Light_Winter" folder in the "seasons" folder.
I had set the date so that the "Light_Winter" folder would be used and flew a multiplayer host only mission.
It worked well. To check I edited the date on the mission so that the "summer" folder would be used. I got the summer terrain but I still had the winter ground objects.
The routine wad unloading the old terrain and loading the new one. However, it was not unloading the ground objects.

That has now been fixed

To use with the new exes there is a new "seasons" folder with the additional winter buildings and trees:

Replacement seasons folder for the Feb 1st exes

Download the "seasons.exe" and put it in your UAW160 folder.

Re-name the existing "seasons" folder.

Run the "seasons.exe" and you will get a new seasons folder. You can keep the old one as a back-up for use with older versions of the UAW160 exe.

I may have messed something up; but I get the new map, no matter which execute I choose in DSP. Can you check that out on your machine?

No- it is my fault. The error is trivial. I made a copy of the new map code folder and replaced half a dozen new map files with their old map equivalents. What I forgot to do is to edit the file that has the version text. If you load the old map exe ignore the wrong name and carry on. You will find that it displays the old map. However, I will fix the problem to avoid further confusion.

Ah, I should have gone past the first screen, into the game, and I wouldn't have even mentioned it. But, just so you know, the latest download (directly above) unzips into three files ad a folder for me (.data; .rdata; .text; and .rsrc folder). I do this to you to keep you sharp. biggrin

It is not a zipfile. It is a replacement for the "Feb1st2023OldMap.exe" that is in the "EAW Versions" folder..

OK, I'm good now. Google or my machine changes the names of executable files when I download them. I just had to rename it. DSP recognizes it. All is well.

The new map in 160 is a vast improvement! I love it! The new map in 1.28c doesn't seem to zoom in as much.
