cmezriczky Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Just downloaded the MAC Version and after activation and launch, there are no campaigns, scenarios or battles to select. Even Quickbattles fail. Obviously there seem to be maps missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmezriczky Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I compared the Packages of CBFI and CMBN and found the problem. Maps and scenarions are saved in the Package Folder "Game Files". Due to my localisation (german) the install process created the Package Folder "Spieldateien" and left this one empty, while putting all Maps in the "Game Files" folder. After copying the Data from "Game Files" to "Spieldateien" the game seems to work properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Thanks for the tip! Had the same problem here (also German) and your solution works. Another more permanent solution is to create softlinks from the German folder names to the English ones. Then you only have one set of files and it doesn't matter which of them will be used by BFC in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmezriczky Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Alias doesn´t work for me. Or maybe I understood softlinks wrong. Also I have found out, that my editor doesn´t allow to create roadsigns and latern-posts. The Icons for these are missing. Haven´t found a solution for that one yet... Same problem with you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poesel Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You rename your Spieldateien folder to Spieldateien.bak (to have the names for renaming later). Then you make an alias of the Game Files folder. Then you make an alias of every folder in that folder. Then you rename the folders to their German counterpart and then you are done. Easy. Haven't played with the editor, yet. I'm just through the manual. All these Wunderwaffen my poor normandy troops could only dream of! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmezriczky Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Tried that. In Finder the directories behave as expected and direct to the correct files, but no effect in game. Seems I have to stick to the manual route... Waited a long time for this game, since my last Windows machine died of a head crash with CMSF on its drive... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmezriczky Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Baked Scenarios are scenarios that allow for further commands to the AI. Downside of baking a scenario is, that the file structure changes to that of a saved game, so there is no way to edit the scenario again, as soon as you have baked it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
