I need to fix this before the patch goes out and right now that's just about the last thing holding it up

Wow, sorry to have to tell you this Don, but right now I don't have the game running and cannot have. I'm far from home and my computer for some more months, typing this on a corporate network workstation on which I can barely run the editing tools.

The crash I was reporting occured some time ago already, IIRC it was even on DOS-SPMBT, so maybe no concern anymore?
Anyway the problem may have been linked to rthe fact that the weapon I had put to range=0 was one of those "illegal" NLWs some of which came up (I was actually testing and adapting Listy's OOB), finding that 50m-range truncheons were quite ambitious.

So as you said about in a post about non-lethal weapons, the HEK=0 may be the cause to it. Sadly I cannot run the tests ATM.
As you may have guessed I didn't ever come across the weapons you mentionned, so as other NLWs were tested to work correctly I thought that was linked to the range. Lack of method from my part.

OK, NO problem. We've tested it on our machines and had no problem. I just wanted you to try it just in case we missed something but there are only two units in the entire game that use that weapon and I'm betting 98% of the people will never used them so it's really a bit of a non issue really.

**If** it turns out this IS a problem on some machines we can fix it after WinSPWW2 is done but I'm betting right now it was a combination of issues that casued the problem and being DOS-SPMBT was probably the main one.

The patch is ready. It's at Shrapnel now and should be released this week sometime.

The patch installer is 12mb

OK, thanks Don, I really didn't want to be the cause for a delay in the issuing of the patch!

I'll try all that again when I have the opportunity, in case there would be something behind it, but anyway that'll be for when you guys are ready to take up work on SPMBT again, which I wouldn't dream of forcing you into considered what you have already achieved!

Same for the patch, I'll tend to stick to what Pepper said: more or less. That should be the final adition to tons of terrific work, I can't wait to see it!

Congratulations once again
