Info: 2023 winSPMBT V17 upgrade/Patch info

[DRG]

OK, we are now totally back to normal. Both game's 2022 consolidator upgrade patches are back on each of Shrapnel's DL pages so anyone who has skipped a year or two updating now can do that before installing the 2023 patch.

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS ANYONE WHO HAS ALREADY DOWNLOADED THE 2023 PATCH DOES NOT HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN unless in the case of MBT they Downloaded it before mid-afternoon May 1. If you did please go to the link below and download the "B" version that has the updated USMC picklists. If you downloaded that patch after mid afternoon on May 1 you will be OK just check the "picklists" folder of the game. If you see files dated 2023 you are OK, if the latest ones are 2022 you need to DL and install them again

So......

The patches posted May 1/2023 for both games ARE ONLY THIS YEARS WORK..... They are not consolidators that update a number of versions

If you have been updating the game every year this will not affect you and you will be up-to date but if you have not updated the game for a couple of years you will need to install the 2022 consolidator patch before installing the 2023 patch

WinSPMBT Version 17.0 Consolidation patch ( Released as WinSPMBT Version 10.0 - version 17.0 ) - April 2023

( the 2023 patch updates any version of WinSPMBT ver 10 and up to version 17.0 )

2 New Scenarios (there are now 534 scenarios included with winSPMBTv17)
35 Revised/Updated Scenarios
295 New or Revised OOB Photos
192 New or Revised vehicle/aircraft Icons
168 new picklist files
93 Updated OOB Files
40 New or Revised Icon files
101 New or Revised Text files


special NOTE:
USMC now uses 168 picklists to generate picks for the AI or if the player lets the AI pick for them

[DRG]

* Observers with GPS are only charged 2-time units to shift out of LOS fires, not 3-time units

Here are new special hotkeys that allow adjustments while the AI turn is active

* The plus '+' and minus '-' keys will zoom the map in and out
* The '[' key turns Fast arty ON
* The ']' key turns Fast arty OFF
* The 'u' key toggles smoke on and off
* The 'i' key toggles ID tags on and off
* The 's' key toggles game sounds on and off
* The 'p' key brings up the preference screen

It sometimes takes a second or 2 to register while the AI finishes whatever action it is currently engaged in. So, you now can, for example, turn on or off fast arty to either speed up a bombarment or slow it down for closer observation while the AI turn is in progress.

* All Nations can now lay mines again but Nations that signed the Ottawa Treaty will only generate Anti-vehicle mines

* Unit class 125 is now "Drone" and is a separate clone of light helicopter to separate RPAS type drones from helicopter formations.

* Size 0 Drones cannot be targeted by SAMS with warhead > 8

* There was a bug that popped up when a map was made that used both a city grid and lakes that allowed troops to be place in what seemed to be buildings on solid ground but were not and this drowned the units on the next turn. This appears to be corrected now

ADDED April 23/2023

• It is now possible to once again let the AI play the AI and the game will not pause at the end of both turns every time allowing continuous AI vs AI play

ADDED April 24/2023

• You can now use a two-word search string in Scenhack search. The only restriction is there must only be a single space between the two words.

ADDED April 25/2023

There are Alternate mine symbols added to winSPMBT.
Original Alternates .

Players wishing to switch from one to the other can find a folder named Mine Alternate located in the Graphics folder and contains a "Mine warning sign icons" subfolder and an "Original Mine Icons" subfolder. There are simple instructions on how to COPY ( do not MOVE ) one or the other into your game. Copying the files allows you to change from one to the other easily. This will have NO EFFECT on PBEM games

PLEASE NOTE: For winSPMBT the new alternative Mine symbols will show up as the default set. For winSPWW2 the originals will show up as the default set

What can I say, I believe in "do it right or not at all".

[DRG]

We are starting the final assembly and checks now. Likely release date will probably be early May 2023

[DRG]

PLEASE REMEMBER: If you have a PBEM game in progress, installing this update while the game is still in process WILL END THE GAME

[DRG]

The TENTATIVE release date is now May 1/2023 ( subject to change )

I use Firefox - it shows a red dot and moans, but if you then click on the red dot and answer the nanny question and allow the download, it works as it should.

No idea what other browsers do with "suspicious" downloads but there should be a way to get rid of the nanny, somehow.

I use chrome and the link in DRG's post just blinks when I click it, nothing else happens.

If I right click and select open in new tab, the tab just disappears.

If I right click and select open link in new window and new browser window appears but is black with the URL in the URL box.

If I strip out this: "winSPMBT%20Ver17_Update(2023).zip" then I get a web page (old fashioned looking) where I can see all the download zips since 2013.

So that link makes it a bit confusing for folks.

You might need to just post a link to the games page instead ?
