The SEOW Development Team is delighted to announce a new milestone release of the SEOW system. This release culminates nearly a year of play-testing (via the successful June 1942 multisector campaign) and feature development. Some of the most important new features are:
- Seven new sectors: Aleutians, Bay of Biscay, Cartagena, Coral Sea, Darwin, Sinai, Slovenia
MP Autoupdater technology
HSFX 4.2beta compliance
Vastly improved SOG support for multi-sector campaigns, including programmable transit delays
Sophisticated CCCI functionality
Integrated support for driveable recon vehicles
Stable ship damage tracking and strategic radar
The new SEOW release versions will be designated as follows:
SEDCS v3.2.15
SEDB32F
MP4 v4.710
MP4 Statistics v1.144
Because of changes to the internal database structure, this SEOW release and its individual components will not inter-operate with previous SEOW release components. Retrofitting of existing campaign databases is possible and relatively quick, but not trivial.
Watch this thread for download details as they become available. Documentation revisions will begin appearing at the SEOW Wiki shortly.
Here is a list of the changes made to the software since the last public releases:
