Can you play Spmbt finally? If so, you will fall in love with the game, for sure. And wait till WinSpww2 ocmes out, as you are a ww2 fan as me...

I once told you this will happen... <G>

How is it you are not sure it's me

Come on man, I am the most despised wargamer in the entire hobby (according to a small handful of miscreants).

How could you not know me (according to their creatively warped logic

).

Been able to play SPMBT but it has been spotty in the past.
I have dabbled with going back to Win98SE, with dual booting the system to allow for multiple OS installs (which would include Win98SE) as well as doing the labourious tweaking of the install before they gave us this recent version.

Results were often patchy at best, and usually unsatisfying.

But I have played it off and on over the years, just never really a lot.
Modern is usually 2nd fiddle to my playing WW2 settings.

I thought it might have been my Celeron, but indicators are it is one of several codec files I use to run largely obscure video files. I will likely do a purge of the codecs and see who was responsible. As I was running the game just fine through all the other installs right up till I got around to reloading the codec files.
I usually don't put a lot of thought into codec files.
This would be a first time that they have messed with something I cared a hoot for.

Gotta adjust the notion that codec files are just codec files now I suppose. Too used to deciding "oh need this codec to run this video", and installing it with no thought about it.

Yes you are The Sarge then, oh surprise <G>

It has been a while since the last time I saw a post of you...

PS: Kill the codecs, play the game!

so if I erase all of these what will happen and more importantly where are they located, and how do I know which game files from SP3 go to which weapon, I want it to be as close as possible. I know I can click on the MP3's in the sound file, but there are nothing to tell me what is what!

how do I change the mel files in SP3 to MP3s or what ever I have to do to beable to play them in WinSPMBT? and am I even in the right file?

See the "sounds culprit" thread for information about how to change MP3 files to Wav files. It fixes all sound problems except for delay when a round hits a vehicle.

They are not MP3's or wav files, I'm not computer smart, and I don't know what the files are! all I know is that they are the orignal game files that came with the game, and that I have to open it with a program, I am wanting to know how to change them to MP3's or wav which ever.
