Topic: ****Econ War Installer is here!****

[Herr Burt]

Here is an ftp link for the EW installer.   It is in the format of a zip file.

To install Economic War, you will need to follow these instructions exactly.


1) Download the zip file ftp://www.fourpower.com/pub/EWInstall2.zip  (Yes, this is the new one as of Monday)

2) unzip the contents of the package into X:/Program Files/Taldren Software Inc/Starfleet Command Orion Pirates
UNZIP!!!  DO *NOT* DRAG AND DROP!!  This should put a new folder in this base SFCOP folder called PirateMaker

3) Go into Pirate Maker and you will see two files:  ToEW.bat and FromEW.bat.  Make shortcuts of these and put the shortcuts onto your desktop.

4) When you are ready to play Economic War, double click on the ToEW.bat shortcut.

5) When you are ready to play something else, double click on the FromEW.bat shortcut.

That should be all there is to it!

There *will* be further downloads, as this game progresses and the various cartels get combined.   I'll try to make them as easy to use as possible.  No doubt you lot will find several errors in my server, and I'll have to put out a few patchs.   I'll make those as easy to install as possible as well.

Stupid question, but does this assume you've got the stock OP install, or OP+4, or does it matter?

thanks!

Doesn't matter.   This will install over anyting you have when you use the ToWE bat, and will return it to what you had once you use the FromEW bat.
