    H2H Helper question

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    I'm not massively inclined to help some person who comes out of the blue into a forum calling my work a poorly coded viral program, without even checking with me first.

    Doesn't it occur to you that _hundreds_ of people are using this program just fine, and the problem might actually be on your machine, not in the program?

    If some else finds a genuine unintended side effect of running H2HH, please reach out to me politely and I will do my best, as I always do, to support you. For free.

    H2HH Problem?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Posted

    CDavid, Can you do this:

    Please go to the folder where you extracted h2hh, and right click on h2hh.exe

    Select "create shortcut".

    Right click on the shortcut it created, and select "properties". It should look something like this:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/9af1tx3ghntkoz5/Screenshot%202014-01-15%2020.58.06.png]

    except your folder location will be different to mine.

    What you need to do is edit the "Target". First, put double quotes at each end of the file path that is in there.

    Then put a space in front of the first double quote.

    Then put this in front of that space:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K

    It should end up looking something like this:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/6kcpp4jo7n2v9yx/Screenshot%202014-01-15%2020.58.45.png

    Then... click "Apply"...

    and then double click the shortcut.

    Hopefully, the ms-dos window stays open and you can tell me what's in it!

    GAJ is it possible to have the game launch from the save file straight into the game? If you know what i mean? At the moment the save file launches the game but only to the saved filed screen.

    Heh - the thing I _most_ want to do with it. It needs to be supported by BFC. It's not out of the question, it's all a matter of priorities and time, for them.

    H2HH Problem?

    in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy

    Can I check something: this problem didn't start when you changed version of H2HH did it? I'm under the impression that you guys having the problem "didn't change anything, it just stopped working (maybe around the time windows updated)". Is that right?

    Anyhow, the error message you showed me tells me that we really need to try to find that file. I might not have given you decent instructions before so let's try a bit better. If this gets too hairy, we can always shout out for someone else to try it :)

    First, you need to follow the instructions that are here, which makes sure you can see "hidden" folders (you can turn this off again later if you don't like it):

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/show-hidden-files-in-windows-7/

    Then - you need to be looking at the contents of your C: folder, like this:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/x8v2pa8ftonl7fs/Screenshot%202013-12-26%2013.55.23.png

    Double-click on Users and you should be able to see a folder with your account name on it (I am mgregory):

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ukpp3j3fvkqblt/Screenshot%202013-12-26%2013.55.53.png

    Double click on this, and you should see a folder called AppData:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/8ygk6ns6brxz68p/Screenshot%202013-12-26%2014.05.06.png

    You won't see AppData unless you did the "show hidden folders" thing I mentioned above.

    Inside AppData there should be "Roaming", and inside that there should be GreenAsJade, and inside that there should be H2HHelper ... and inside there there should be AppState.txt:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lr0kx1ijkmzuq5/Screenshot%202013-12-26%2013.58.17.png

    First: surely this file must exist, since tryme got past the place where it tests that. If it doesn't, that will be the mystery for us to solve.

    The error message you have implies that it does exist. In which case, I need to know what's inside it when H2HH is not working. Can you send it to me? Can you also send me h2hh_log.txt.

    Assuming you found it, one other thing you can do is delete it then run H2HH again. H2HH is supposed to create that file if it's not there. Would be good to see if this happens...

    That's a bit to get on with :)

    Cheers,

    H2HH Problem?

    Based on the error messages you captured from the dos window, it looks for all the world like H2HH can't read it's "state file" for some reason.

    This file should be stored at:

    c:\Users\<your username\App Data\Roaming\GreenAsJade\Appstate.txt

    Can you see if this file exists, and if you can open it with something like notepad?

    Please send it to me.

    Meanwhile, try tryme-0.0.4 ... it might also give us some better information.

    OK - this is a bit tricky to explain. Hopefully someone can figure it.

    Please go to the folder where you extracted tryme, and right click on tryme.exe

    Select "create shortcut".

    Right click on the shortcut it created, and select "properties". It should look something like this:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnbw8731x0u0rd3/Screenshot%202013-12-24%2014.36.33.png

    except your folder location will be different to mine.

    What you need to do is edit the "Target". First, put double quotes at each end of it.

    Then put a space in front of it.

    Then put this in front of that space:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K

    It should end up looking something like this:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/r73c4x200wwcxf4/Screenshot%202013-12-24%2014.36.50.png

    Then... click "Apply" and double click the shortcut.

    Hopefully, the ms-dos window stays open and you can tell me what's in it!
