I think you confused modders there ^^^
Unless Juju is another name for Aris... hey - maybe that explains why all the Juju mods are so good as well
-
And where can this be found? It looks like a real boon.
Michael
Go to cmmods.greenasjade.net
Click on "author" under "CMRT" in the left bar.
Click on Juju.

(if only that darn lily mod were so easy to find :S )

Does it work with Juju's UI?

Timo - I'm glad you made some progress. I'd really like to help fix the remaining problem: please follow the instructions for reporting an issue.

I should write in the documentation actually: it is known that CM Helper does not support the playing of a game on two different computers.
The reason I have not tried to rely on one person having even and the other person having odd numbers is because nothing enforces that. Sometimes people actually manually change the number, for some reason or other (often after they have saved the game, so they have to manually type the new file name).
The other problem is knowing who's chat is which. Each instance of CM Helper (on each machine) will create a chat file, so there will be three chat files for two people...
I recently had a different brainwave about how to make this work, and it it is "on the list", but pretty low down because AFAIK not many people try to do this, and there are other more important things to do first. Maybe if you made a petition showing that lots of people would like this, then it would move up the list

Check out this cool new documentation I wrote ... it even has a section on Reporting Bugs and Issues.
Hope I'll hear from you with more details soon.

Hey all,
At last I wrote some documentation
GaJ
(I also published a new version of CMH that takes you to this documentation when you do Help->Help)
-
Hey Ted - I'll need a log from you. We definitely should work out what's going wrong, because either it will be something handy for you to fix up in your setup, or an actual bug in detecting the verison, which will be good to fix.
Help->Report Bug is probably the best way to get it to me (though email or PM is fine too
)GaJ

You're welcome

JonS: thanks for the feedback. Sounds like 1.2.3 does resolve the squeaker issue - sorry that you have to delete AppState to clean things up.
Can you send me a CMH log file from striaght after starting up and a listing (screenie or otherwise) of your CMFI & CMSF "Data" folders. IF they are installed in the default place, then CMH should recognise that you have them, and tell you what versions of what modules you have. If they aren't installed in the default place, you would need to use Install->Edit or Install->Add to tell CMH where they are ...
Opponents tab doesn't quite do anything yet - I decided to pop CMH out when CMRT came out to enable CMRT support, but haven't quite got the "opponents" features sorted.
Yeah - I desperately need to write some documentation!

Hah - that was an interesting little bug.
Please try 1.2.3.
If it still is a problem please try deleting the file called AppState.txt, which is in the same folder as the log file: CMH tells you where this at the top of the log window. Then restart.
If it's _still_ a problem after that, please email me the whole log file.
Thanks!

Dang - LukeFF - can you send me the log, and the screenshot of the contents of your CMSF Data folder.
Thanks!
(tee hee, I can answer your questions before you ask them!)

When you can beat Big Bad Bill H2H at the base module ...

sfhand - can you send me the log file from starting up CMH. If you can also send me the listing (screenshot or some other means) of the Data folder of your CMFI and CMRT installations, that'd help a lot.
It's _supposed_ to know how to figure out the versions of these, so I need to know in cases where it can't why is that so!
It's also just conceivable your install of one of those two games is corrupt (!) ... which is one of the things CMH is eventually supposed to help protect against. It will be great when we get to the stage where when CMH says something is wrong, we believe it instead of it likely being a bug

Windows version finally uploaded.

What grids work for CMRT?
Ta!

This version no longer displays "ghost" entries of installations that you don't have.
Hopefully, the bug where it would sometimes display a sad face instead of the game icon when you have installed the game in a non-standard place is also fixed.
GaJ

I"m going to get rid of those "ghost" rows (which are in fact saying "this is the information about the default install, which you don't have"), and see if this clears stuff up somewhat.
The sad face means that CMH doesn't know what _type_ of installation it is looking at, if it knows what type it is: it hasn't been able to work out (by looking at the files in the installation) whether its CMRT or CMBN or what.
This is confirmed by the fact that the screenie is saying "(Version not known)" where you have clicked on the row called CMBN.
The log file should tell us why it is sad about that.
About the log window: in the screenie you have shown, the log is scrolled right to the bottom. Try scrolling back up to the top
EDIT: I think I've found the bug causing the sad faces in this case. Delving into it now...

Sounds wacky to me.
Amyone else having similar?
Simmo: email me & lets start looking at logs.
GaJ
-
Don't post logs here.
Do send them to me in email.
Try exiting CMH then deleting
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\GreenAsJade\CMHelper\AppState.txt
and starting CMH up again.
Please tell me I am not going to have to start all these damn games again.
You are not going to start any games again. Why do you think CMH would have anything to do with that? The absolute worst that might need to happen is your opponents send you the latest turn file again, if you deleted it. This will probably happen automatically if they are using Dropbox and CMH.
Regards,

Yeah - for some reason I decided to leave the entries for the "default" location in there, grey, but it is proving to be not a good idea for sure. I'll do somefink, soon...

I'm running 1.12 on my Win7 machine and everything is working fine.
One issue though (isn't there always), I started a Red Thunder game and it shows the Red Thunder icon under "other info" but the other all ready existing CMBN games show a sad face icon with a question mark above it.
Should it be showing the CMBN icon?
Yes.
Can you send me the log.
Thanks!

H2HH has always created a chat file in the shared folder for each player who is using it, irrespective of whether the other guy is using H2HH. That is how it knows who is using it
Something different is going on than what you think: I can't tell what it is yet.
If you have the two-tone red icon showing, it means "CMH thinks that your opponent is using CMH or H2HH". And this means that CMH thinks that it found a chat file that is not yours.
Have a look at the top of the log. There you will find a comment telling you what your ID is. Have a look in the shared folder. If there is a chat file in there that is not matching your ID - this is from someone else.
Note that you can't use CMH to manage the same game on two of your own computers at the the same time, for this reason. Could this be the explanation: are you trying to play they same game using CMH from two different machines at different times?
(Bazinga! I just had a realisation about how to support players doing this!)
Why would would it be looking for CMFI incoming and outgoing mail in the game installation directory? Shouldn't it be looking in Documents instead?
(Edit) Can you click on the CMFI install on the Your Installations pane, do "Edit Install", and make sure that "Installation Root Directory" is pointing to the Documents directory where the Game Files folder is.
That's where that needs to be pointing: it definitely got confusing when CMFI came along and put the Game Files in a different place than the executable. I should maybe change the name of that dialog field to say "The place where the frick'in Game Files are!!"

That's right: expect there's an error happening - it may be further up in the log...

Everyone keeps telling me that GL is not showing up, but it shows up for me and no-one has submitted a log yet showing me that it doesn't....
No log? ... It didn't happen
Please see how to submit an issue report ... since I went to all the trouble of writing it
