Do you mean that in 3.5 patch a editor for units icon (capabilities) is included?

It's in the editor. You can "assign" a second unit icon to any unit. The 'first' (normal) icon is displayed in the game, the second icon is only visible in the editor. A unit with a secondary icon 'inherits' all capabilities of this icon, no matter what the first icon is. I.e. first icon is mountain infantry. To make it airmobile, set parachute infantry as the second icon.

Now I this read. I hope that soon a release is of the 3.5 (perhaps beta?) for the public.

Hi, I just find out that right now the defense unit will fire upon incoming aircraft, but the attacking units AA still can not damage the aircraft in CAS role. I am playing "Campaign for south Vietnam". Anybody noticed the same thing.

Thanks

Which one of the various 'unofficial' AAA-fixes? Could you provide a .SAL file perhaps? It would be also helpful if you flag the TOAW.log in order to have a look if the attacked unit didn't/did shoot back.

There are various versions of the unofficial patch? I only saw one link in this thread. Are there others?

Hi chaps,

After resolving a .dll issue to get this new exe to work, I get a new error message which says "there is an error with your serial number as entered". I only ever get this message when trying to use the "Opart3XBb" exe, not with the regular game. Anyone encountered this before?

I suspect I'll just have to wait for the official patch, but is anyone could help, that'd be great.

What about the other alternative .EXE files, e.g. Opart3Windows98.exe, Opart3Slow.exe? The executables themselves don't check the registry or serial, the .DLL that came with the installer do. I'd suggest to re-install the vanilla in another folder, apply the 3.4.202 patch with the installer.

I got this also. I saved the original exe and renamed Opart3XBb. Then it worked ok.

For convenience, HERE is a link to the Opart3XBb file.

Some of the tests are discussed in the RFC thread. (10/13 post)

That appears to have fixed the problem. Many thanks. :)

All you need to do is put in some spaces. Instead of Opart3XBb.exe right click and rename Opart 3 XBb.exe

Is this file Opart3XBb still the latest and greatest unofficial patch to use until 3.5 comes out? I've been running a patch called AA2Opart3 up until now but I see that this one fixes even more bugs?

Is installation still the same? Just drop it in the main folder and run it?

Falcon1,

Yes this is the latest version. It includes the AA patch and also works to mitigate the fortified/ignore losses problem. As for drop it in the main folder and run it, that did not work for me. I copied the original exe to a different name Opart 34 (for example), and then renamed Opart3XBb.exe to Opart 3.exe. That works ok.

Please note: scenarios saved with Opart3XBb cannot be read with the normal 3.4 Opart 3.exe.

Best wishes,
Steve

I understand the AA problem, but just out of curiosity, what is the "fortified/ignore loss" problem?

Yup the RFC problem and tests with the new patch (which mitigates it *and* still fixes the AA bug are all described below. The instructions on how to install the patch are in the readme file that comes with the patch. I drop the exe next to the original one, make a desktop shortcut and it should work. The Oberst and I have lost contact with the user who developed the patches, so I imagine that there will be no updates. Then hopefully 3.5 will remove the need for them. Telumar told me that PBEM files written with Opart3XBb will be opened by TOAW patched to v3.5.

I am currently play-testing Rob Kunz's latest Ardennes '44, which was updated with 3XBb, with Antonio (Fulcrum90) and it seems to work more than just fine.
