Now hosting WOE/WOV merged install at Hyperlobby

[+streakeagle 871]

Hyperlobby does not support Wings Over Europe, but it does support Wings Over Vietnam. So, I copied the WOE.exe and renamed it WOV.exe. I then configured Hyperlobby to find the WOV.exe in the Wings Over Europe folder. While I have not yet had anybody join externally, tests from within my own LAN went well. I have a dogfight host up now with the year set to 1978.

 

To ensure being able to join, you need to:

Install WOV.

Install WOV Service Pack v05.15.06

Install WOV Patch v05.25.06

Install WOE (check the option to merge WOV).

Install WOE Patch v05.25.06

Copy the WOE.exe in the Wings Over Europe folder

Paste a copy into the same folder

Rename the copy WOV.exe

 

If you already have Hyperlobby and it is already set to open Wings Over Vietnam, then you will have to:

"Disconnect" from Hyperlobby

Select "Wings Over Vietnam" from the Hyperlobby Connect/Select list of games

Press <CTRL><SHIFT> while clicking on "Connect"

This opens a dialog box for setting the path to the WOV.exe, you must either manually type in the patch, or do a search and select the copy of WOV.exe in the Wings Over Europe folder.

 

I cannot promise compatibility if you have any mods installed, especially the weapons pack. Follow the above procedure and it should work.
