Backup your dropbox folder and contents, then delete the '.h2hh' files. Reboot. Now try chatting in the CM helper chat box. If that fails then all I can suggest is creating a normal text file in the dropbox folder so you can chat without using CM helper.

Is there a 'chat_long number.h2hh' file in your dropbox game folder?

Did you find a fix? What op sys and graphics card are you using? Maybe you could contact the help desk, or do a search there. https://battlefront.mojohelpdesk.com/

Thanks for the updated rules Bil, I'll be using them in future games.

Maybe in the next engine the Alt 1 through 9 keys will stick between saves, I hope so.

Voice commands work well in game and I'd love to see keyboard shortcut keys that could be assigned to the unit and formation report panels orbat lists: so that instead of mouse clicking on one of the team names in the list to get to that team, a radio voice command could be given which would jump to the team in question. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qfk8fyssfreyxoa/Untitled.png?dl=0

Good idea but the black areas in the UI are only visible at the higher resolutions. Anyone who uses the lower resolutions would have the green UI going across the whole of the bottom part of the screen, the black areas wouldn't be there. Maybe the compass and the white text could go on a second monitor?

I've found that scouts used with the hunt and slow command work well; moving slowly to contact with plenty of pauses between waypoints has it's advantages.

When you've got multiple teams in front of you all with the same floating icons, it's more intuitive to either have the names of each team under the floating icon's or to be able to move the mouse pointer over each team, without clicking, so a team name tool tip appears. This could be togglable in the options menu. I often split my squads into small teams and it would be great to be able to give them a name that's more descriptive. eg. 1st. squad / scout team, 2nd. squad / AT team, etc.

I'd like a tool tip to appear when you hover the mouse over a unit, saying which team the unit is, and which platoon it is from. I'd also like to be able to edit the team name in game to whatever I want; so in the center bottom unit tab (one white flag), I could change '1st squad / A' or '1st squad / B' to whatever name I want. eg. 1-1 or 1-2 etc. or maybe something more descriptive.

I'd also like the option to vary the length of time for a turn, in a turn based game. Something along the lines of 45 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 30 seconds, and 2 minutes in the options menu.

They must have something in the works, even if it's just a plan for the future; a concept or an idea.

I'm not a programmer so to get a better understanding are you saying that the single process (the CMgame.exe) would run with multiple threads and these threads could run on different cores, as opposed to having multiple processes (an AIheadlessclient.exe and a CMgame.exe) running on different cores?

Which wood line are you trying to approach? Do you have a few screenshots of the battlefield and wood line, one in plan view?

I'm glad you found the issue. The target arc is ok but when using it with the hunt command I wish the hunting unit would stop even if the spotted enemy contact is outside the arc, not just within it.

Ah, thankyou, that's brilliant. I'll probably try that at the weekend.

Sorry about all the questions but was this a vanilla install of CMBN, ie. no mods? If you've got mods installed I'd remove them to a safe place and try again.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to repack a campaign once it's been unpacked into it's individual missions. I'd like to unzip CMBN 'The road to Montebourg', increase all the mission duration times, then repack it into a working campaign again. I've managed to unpack everything but I don't know how to put it back together again. I'm also relatively new to modding CM so a detailed 'how to' would be appreciated.

Were you able to use the face command on some units and not others? Were the affected units infantry or vehicles or both? Did you try other scenarios or did it only happen in that one? Which battle was it and was it singleplayer or multiplayer? Was the game in realtime or turn based?

I'd like CM3 with the option to have the ingame floating icons automatically switch themselves off when the player has the camera at ground level (1) and then switch themselves back on automatically when the camera is above ground level (2 and above).

What with the military contracts and the need to evolve the business into the future, developing a multicore architecture would be the way forward. I can just see the adverts on PC Gamer now... Do you like good food? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . combat mission: 64bit multicore
