SOWWL 1.01 Patch Is Available

The latest patch for SowWL is available from Matrix.  Here is the link: SowWL 1.01 Patch

Do I take it that it is okay to install regarding how the KS Mods will play afterwards?

Well we won't know the answer to that question until we play a game or two with the patch. I've installed it and plan to play Friday. We'll see how things go. To play MP, everyone needs to have the same version of the game.

First benefit I have found is that mod changes now take place within the game - no need to close and restart the game when activating or deactivating mods.

...aaaand, game doesn't work. CTDs with KS Mod v120, remove all mods to try vanilla game and CTD again. *sigh*

I just tried version 1.01. It is not backwards compatible. The problem is that one or more functions in the dll have either changed names or have changed arguments. I've emailed Mitra to find out what is different. Until then, we will need to stick with version 1.0043. If anyone needs a copy of that patch, the link is in the first post of the Setup for SOWWL KS Napoleon Mod.

Rebooted PC, vanilla game works (canned scenarios and sandbox) but KS Mod gets a CTD. My guess is some of the new ai.dll changes are not compatible with the KS Mod.

Over to you Kevin!

Aha - so you can repatch back to v10043?

Oh how great it is to have a seperate install on Steam. The steam masterrace finally prevails!

uh oh, I don't use the steam version. My vanilla version works after update. I opened up the game after update in KS, didn't test to actually play, though. Just tested the Quatra Bras addition in vanilla. It worked as well.

Yes, vanilla game is fine. KS Mod does not work.

Steam did an auto UPDATE on WL so I guess until we figure out what is up I will be out of action.   LOL

You can just not update to v101 or if you already have, manually reapply the v1.043 patch which is what I did and the KS Mod works again.

I'm an idiot.  No, wait, I blame Martin.    Davide added a few new functions which I requested.  Since those are now part of the program, I had to compile the dll with that new information in it.

Here is a link to a new version of the dll for SowWL 1.01: Modules dll for game version 1.01

It will not work with SowWL 1.0043.

It's all my fault. But my shoulders are broad. I can take one for the team.

Wait. What? NSD added functionality you requested? Whut.

If it works I will take the blame. I wish you had announced this before I checked into the local Costa Rican Chapter WLA Waterloo Anonymous, it was rather embarrassing; like the guy from hair club america.

I have returned ... sort of. It had been so long since I played last that n addition to the game updates (took a bit between SOWGB GCM and WL) my windows took forever to update. Blew right past the 515pm game time. So much for my attempt to play tonite. Maybe later if we still do US-based games at night

Also I think I did all the mods ok ... but I did notice that at least in the user scenario I picked that the cavalry was still in squadrons vice one regiment ... is that big-regiment cav just an MP thing when we play?

Anyway ... looks like I will be around more than I have been the last 2 months.

Good to see you Pat.

And you sir Martin del Digby

About time you showed up SLACKER!!!!

ah, Michael me laddie ...
