1/2010 Post RAF_Roy about use with it and Newer 1.28(x) series .exes here:

Quote: I have loaded Great Shot as a stand alone game

Its a bit OT// .. np, but and really is about EAW 1.2, Just to be clear; FYI to anyone new or old:

Great Shot II as a stand alone is not compatible with the 1024 .exe - The .exes and files in Great Shot II predate the Code Work and the EAW 1.28 series .exes (also there are some small issues within Great Shot II files) - The 1.28(x) series .exes including the 1024 .exe do have an EAW.ini setting as previously mentioned, which to quote the 1.28C readme;

Quote: OldStyle: This enables the EAW1.2 plane selection screens. The default is "=0" (off). "=1" enables the old style screens.

as well as additional compatibility settings like: OldDamage=1 - See the Readmes or http://webspace.webring.com/people/kr/raf_roy/EAW1.28C-b-a-Editing.html composite of all 1.28 series release .exe readmes, (Except the 1024 or the MP - Multiplayers) - But these alone will not solve issue with all files nor especially the current EAW 1.28d 1024.exe - You will just have to wait until packages are released for the 1024 .exe / screens, etc.

That said.. you could use some of the files via OAW, but you have to know a quite bit about EAW modding to mix and match various graphics, menus, skins, mission files, from old campaigns, etc. made for 1.2 with Newest .exes
