MAW Spawns

[KellyB]

When I start MAW, I always use the Spawning Setup Utility first. It occurred to me to wonder if it's necessary to do that each and every time, or does MAW remember somewhere what the setting is, and keep it until it gets changed. ETO remembers the last setting, so I got to wondering about MAW. THX

Yes MAW remembers..
I haven't touched this in perhaps years..
Still set to Mission Mode, Random spawns disabled here..
as always..

No, you don't need.

MAW remember somewhere what the setting is, and keep it until it gets changed. ETO remembers the last setting, so I got to wondering about MAW.

Yes, this is exactly how does it work.

MAW and ETO do the same thing, renaming files in the spawns folder.

Interesting....MAW Spawning Setup Utility won't run on my new Win 7 64bit PC. A window pops up saying msvbvm50.dll is missing. I tried installing this in System 32 and the main MAW folder. Any ideas or fixes?

I don't see it in my MAW folder, so my guess is that it's a Win 7 thing.

How does MAW run otherwise?

Thanks Hobbit. I'm doing a reinstall of MAW and I'll include this download. Update in a few days.
