ALL FILES, YOU HAVE RECEIVED, ARE FOR FREE. IF YOU WANT TO DISTRIBUTE THEM TO OTHERS, KEEP OFF TAKING ANY MONEY FOR THEM !  IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS OF THIS INSTALLATION, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !  MAKE BACK-UPS OF THE DATA FILES PRIOR TO ANY CHANGES !  DON'T BLAME US IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE BACK UPS. SPWW2 IS NEEDED TO USE THIS ADD ON. NEVERTHELESS THIS IS NO WORK OF THE CAMO WORKSHOP ! SO ASK US IF ANY PROBLEMS OCCUR !


In order to use the additional LBM files, changed MOBs and modified SHP files, follow these steps:


First you have to make sure, you have a version of SPWW2 installed on your computer. This add on works with all versions of SPWW2. We recommend to use V.2.2 for being most advanced. 
Then, back-up your MOB files MOB00 and MOB11 as well as SPWW2.EXE. In order to do this, make a subdirectory 'ORG' and copy the corresponding files into this subdirectory. 
After you have done this, create another directory within your SPWW2 folder called 'MOB_NEW'. Therein our add on will store the MOB files for exchange.

Now you can extract the ZIP-file. It will place the graphics and data files into the referring folders automatically. If asked overwrite the existing. You now have a version prepared for the last step: the conversion of your personal SPWW2. Sorry, but because we got no permission to distribute an already edited SPWW2.exe file we need to let this last step do each wargamer himself. This way we prevent to touch any copyrights. Simply execute the program 'ICONS.EXE' in your SPWW2 directory. It will convert your exe file. Without this step you won't be able to see any of the new icons or unit types ! When you have done this, installation is complete. And we hope anything works, as it should!


ATTENTION: 
Due to the fact, that we prepared two German and Soviet MOB files each this may cause problems playing because you need to use the correct one for the corresponding period of war. The cut in data is between 1/43 and 6/43 (exactly 1/43 for Soviet material and 6/43 for German). Currently you have the ones for the first period of war implemented. In order to change to the second half, just copy the files 'MOB00b' and 'MOB11b' from the new 'MOB_NEW' directory into your SPWW2 folder, delete 'MOB00' and 'MOB11' and rename the copied files 'MOB00b' and 'MOB11b' into 'MOB00' and 'MOB11'. To use the first period of war again, just follow the same steps but for the corresponding  'MOB00a' and 'MOB11a' then. Don't copy any files from your SPWW2 directory to 'MOB_NEW'! 

When playing campaigns covering the period of MOB change, you may find that old material will be replaced by different new ones.  This might make some trouble. So if the equipment after the MOB change doesn't seem to work properly just re-buy it between battles or buy different ones if you simply don't like the replacements. Sorry, but even two MOBs for each nation were not enough to include all doubled!

As long as you use our add on you won't be able to play scenarios designed with other MOBs! To do so, just
use the original MOB files stored in the 'ORG' directory. The same if any problems with the changed SPWW2.exe shall occur.  So don't forget to make back-ups.

Now, you can enjoy about 750 units for Germany and the Soviet Union, more than 400 new LBM sideviews and more than 200 new SHP icons!


ADDITONAL OPTIONS:
You will find, that the folder MOB_NEW also contains 'MOB42a', MOB42b' as well as 'MOB43a' and 'MOB43b'. These are copies of the MOB00 and MOB11 files. You can treat them like the MOB00 and MOB11 files in order to see all available material for the Soviet Union and Germany within your game at once (e.g. in the encyclopedia). Germany uses the 'BLUE' (MOB42), the Soviet Union the 'RED' nation (MOB43) then. You can also use this feature in order not to need to overwrite any more files but to use 'BLUE' and 'RED' for the both nation's one half of the war. Arrange 'a' and 'b' versions of the MOBs as you like then. But don't forget to back up 'MOB42' and 'MOB43' into your 'ORG' folder before you do so. Otherwise the originals would be gone. Using the referring versions 'a' or 'b' of one nation can also be used to play some kind of Civil war between BLUE and GERMANY or RED and the SOVIET UNION with identical equipment then.



Feel free to tell us anything you think about our work, especially if you have found any bugs or mistakes!
