I'm glad that there's an official patch now, but I'm dissapointed that they didn't fix any bugs since the last beta, which this essentially is.

Some clarification needed...

I just reinstalled COI to check something I suspected in this patch.

After installing this patch ModSwap is still version 1.0 and MMCC3 is still version 1.03r.

Can anyone else duplicate this?

[schrecken]

What... the latest versions have been removed and replaced with older versions?

Is that what you see?


I think MMCC3 should be 1.04S

I think MoadSwap hasn't progressed past 1.0  (has it?)

[mooxe]

ModSwap is at v1.2. Not sure if this came out before or after the patch, but the patch readme does say ModSwap was updated.

You are right, MMCC3 is 1.04s. After patching MMCC3 version did not change from 1.03r.

Please bribe or cajole Dreaded 88 to make another mod for COI.  Last I heard he was thinking about finishing France 1940.  COI is the only re-release that was successfully adopt the "old" mods?

For ModSwap it looks like the product version number has not been updated (this is displayed when you click on Help / About) but the file date and size has changed from the previous version...

Bug created for the ModSwap version number not being changed.

[schrecken]

can you run two instances of modswap?

if not then it's new.

[mooxe]

After checking again, the updated version does infact have the same version number as the old one. I can run the original version in multiple instances, not the version included in the patch.

Modswap 1.2 (user made version) was what I thought would be in the patch. You can run multiples of that btw.

What about MMCC3?

[Tejszd]

I'm definitely running the new version as I can not run multiple copies, but I would like Mooxe or someone else who has access only to the Matrix released updates to confirm that they have the new version too.

The confirmed new version I have under Help /About still shows 1.0.

Edit: thanks for confirming Mooxe

If it's updated you should see same menu choices as below

[mooxe]

I double and triple checked. The latest COI patch does up change any MMCC3 files. All the file time stamps and sizes were identical. Tested running the patch with admin rights and still did not change any files in the /Server folder.

[Tejszd]

Mooxe, did you mean after the v3.60 patch not the v3.50.01 at the top of this thread?

[mooxe]

No I meant 3.50.
