As you have toaw3, theoretically it should all be there. You only need the tournament.exe, the scenario, the nocd patch and a proper registry key... if you're still interested we could try..

Count me in !:laugh:

Stefan,
Could you check on your side if it is working richtig, if yes propose him help through Email, thensend him provisional Modern.
And if he still interested he will join us.

If it works fine we can offer toaw III players a special delay to join tournament !

Thanks for including me in the Tourney !.

I already checked it on my computer, but i will test it in depth, especially if all graphics are loaded.
The nocd patch as a whole isn't required, the cow registry's cd path should trace to a folder within the toaw3 directory named nocd that contains an empty (text) file named TOAWintro.smk (this is basically what the nocd patch does).
I will post all needed files except the .exe and the scenario and an instruction in the late afternoon/early evening (CET).
The cow.reg should trace to the toaw3 directory, but this might be different by user, computer and windows language version. It is easy to modify the reg file accordingly, but i am lacking skills to create a self extracting archive that automatically searches for the toaw3 folder; this would be the smartest solution. Maybe you can do this, Jean Luc :) .. we'll see.

[Telumar]

Okay, attached are the needed files. ACOWReg.reg and a folder "nocd" in the .zip file

The procedure is:

1.) Extract the files to your toaw3 directory

2.) right click the .reg file and open it with the text editor/notepad. You should see this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TalonSoft]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TalonSoft\The Operational Art of War, CW]
"game_path"="C:/Program Files/Matrix Games/The Operational Art of War III"
"cd_path"="C:/Program Files/Matrix Games/The Operational Art of War III/\\nocd\\"


Emphasize by me. If your toaw3 installation is in another folder or on an other harddrive or your windows has another language than english you must change this in the text editor according to the location where your toaw3 is, i.e. D:/Games/Matrix Games or C:/Programme/Matrix Games (in german version).

3.)then double click the .reg file. Windows asks you if you want to add it to your registry. Click Yes.

4.)Put the tournament .exe in your toaw3 folder. You can find the exe for the first round here (http://www.xtreme-gamer.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1063) , but Jean Luc will post a new .exe for round 2.

5.)Put the scenario in toaw3's scenario folder, but not in one of the subfolders. Jean Luc will post a new version of OLDM, but you can test Weserübung II (http://www.xtreme-gamer.com/forums/433737-post3.html) with the tournament.exe to see if it works.

Finished. You have a cracked illegal version of "A Century of Warfare" :shock:

Some comments:
It will look like toaw3 and use all graphics from the toaw3 graphics folder. It will however not have any sound. For those who want to have the roaring panzers' sound etc.: Download the ACOW demo (http://toaw.xtreme-gamer.com/?p=40) and put the sound files into your toaw3 directory - but not into toaw3's sound directory.
It will not influence your toaw3 installation in any kind, don't worry.

How will I know if I have patched it correctly ?

Run the tournament21feb.exe - if you did everything right it will open. If you or someone else has more or specific questions post here.

[AChmielowski]

OK !

Lets see what happens !:D

Thanks for your help !

[Telumar]

You try it now? Let me know if it worked.

EDIT: Totally senseless post..i am sure you will let me know..

[AChmielowski]

I did try it and could not see any difference to the start screen.

I will find out if I have done it right when I get my first file !.

Haha... if it opens then it's alright - it will look like toaw3 as it uses all toaw3's graphics.. you certainly can check it by selecting Help -> About the operational art of war from the start screen. You should read "Version 1.04.01 A Century of Warfare ***Huge map version*** etc etc.".
You can also download Weserübung II, put it in the scenario folder and run it. As described further above.

[jlbetin]

Weserübung II works with PO, it is not perfect but you may have fun
