I'll give it a try and let you know thanks
*edit*
Well I'm totally lost on this one, I tried to just use the original non-full version with the standard batch, and its missing the text too.
In my full version install (using fith's batch file) I don't have an ENG folder or a warfb folder in the game directory but I do in the image (if that is what you mean)...
Each time I install, the .exe already has the 256 colour selected, is there some mistake I have made previously that is staying with me like some kind of registry problem or something?
