Baptism of the Black Brigade

There seems to be an error in that the FO (B0) cannot assign arty ever in the campaign.

I guess one could sell it off for one that can it's just a bit aggravating for an otherwise very good campaign

Also,, should some units be already set at "filtered fire" on deploy, as in the first battle? ,this should be the decision of who is deploying, i would think.

Ack!!! I thought I'd fixed that but it looks like I got sidetracked. You're right on the filtered fire, not sure why I put that in.

Well since it has been added to the game, who should fix the problems?

In this case, it's your campaign and you would be in the best postion to correct it.

I'm having severe problems getting campaignhack to work. I set the source directory correctly but it doesn't seem to output anything.

Well the first question that springs to mind is do you have the CD version of the game ?

Don

Brian61 · #7 May 16th, 2012, 10:18 PM

Yes, CD version and fully patched. Windows 7 but setup correctly with game in custom path (C:\Games\...), game works fine - campaignhack doesn't.

DRG · #8 May 16th, 2012, 11:57 PM

Well it should becasue that is in many ways similar to my set up and campaignhack works perfectly

Does CAMPAIGNHACK.INI agree with your actual path ?

Don

It contains:

Code:

[Form]
CampaignsConvertSourceDir=C:\
CampaignsRenumberSourceDir=C:\Games\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2\Campaigns\

Long path name problems maybe?

We will be running some tests of our own soon and we'll get back to you. So far, for me, it works perfectly from a non / program files directory but I run XP. Andy will be checking windows 7.

However, when you say........"it doesn't seem to output anything"....... where did you look for the extracted scenarios ?

Here is what my CAMPAIGNHACK.IN looks like

[Form]
CampaignsConvertSourceDir=C:\Working Games\WinSPWW2\Campaigns\
CampaignsRenumberSourceDir=C:\Working Games\WinSPWW2\Campaigns\

Your convert ConvertSourceDir is just pointing to the main C: drive not where your game actually is
