CanuckGamer Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I downloaded the Amfreville scenario from the repository, unzipped it in to my scenario folder but don't see it in the list of battles that I can play. First question is that there are a number of other files after unzipping. I assume that the only file that needs to be placed in the scenario folder is the .btt file. Secondly, I have not yet upgraded to 2.0 as I am waiting to finish my current PBEM scenario playing. Could this be the issue? i.e. is Amfreville playable only using 2.0? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check that only Mods go into "Z" folider in "Data" directory. Battle scenarios go into "Scenarios" folder in "Game Files" directory. Campaign scenarios go into "Campaigns" folder in "Game Files" directory. The "readme" files with most mods explain which folders to load with what files. Also make sure you quit / end the game completely and clear game cache memory before loading mods. Most mods don't take until you restart the game. Easy mistake to make when multi-tasking (as in I learned from my own experience). Try this template for Windows "Battle Front" folder - Combat Missiong Battle for Normandy - - Data - - - - Z - - - - - - - loaded vehicles, voices, terrain, uniforms, UI tweaks, etc. (sound & graphics mods) - - Game Files - - - - Campaigns - - - - - - loaded campaign scenario mods - - - - Incoming Email - - - - Outgoing Email - - - - Quick Battel Maps - - - - Saved Games - - - - Scenarios - - - - - - loaded battle scenario mods EDIT - Unless you're a Newbie, you likely already know this. Sorry if this came off condescending. Just saw that Amreveille might be 2.0 only but it was posted to repository on 10-Dec-12, one day before v2.0 came out . Someone else would need to confirm whether version matters or if incompatibile to v1.10 / v1.11. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I did extract the .btt file to the scenario folder. I just realized that I have also not yet applied patch 1.11 again for fear that it will screw up my current PBEM game. Maybe that is the problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I downloaded it also. It seemed to create an Amfreville folder within the Scenario folder. The Amfreville folder contained, along with the .btt, other information, pictures and such. I had to take the .btt file out of the Amfreville folder and drop it directly under the Scenario folder. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 That is exactly what I did but it still didn't show up as a scenario under Battles in the game. Are you patched to 1.11? Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yes patched and upgraded. And I've started a PBEM. Perhaps you need 2.0? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Garand Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yes patched and upgraded. And I've started a PBEM. Perhaps you need 2.0? No I released the scenario before 2.0 for 1.11 but, it is playable for both 1.11 and 2.0, make sure that the Amfreville.btt is the the scenario folder in game files. Thank you for downloading my map, I hope you enjoy it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGamer Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Okay, that explains it, I have to apply patch 1.11. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 M1, (Possible Spoiler) - - - - - - - - - - I'm playing as the Germans in a PBEM. Under "Objectives" you give the two main ones and "Other Objective" but on the map I don't see any "Other Objective". Are the Germans supposed to know what the Other Objective is or is it one of the "unknown" type? Also the Other Objective gives a point value "xxx Each". Are there more than one? The tactical map doesn't show which direction the Allies will be attacking from and the Briefing doesn't describe it either. The obvious is from the North and perhaps North-West but the Axis setup zone doesn't cover all the South and South-West. Does that mean the Germans need to be prepared for an attack from these directions too? If not I would hate to freeze units in positions to block an attack from these directions that never materialize. Perhaps, of course, the intent was to keep the Germans guessing? If you feel you may give away a spoiler to the Allied side please felel free to email me at tramos1 "at" optonline "dot" net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Germans it is meant to be difficult and as the German commander you are meant to guess. Sometimes there will be Americans flanking on the North and South side, sometimes you will get a more straight on attack, I don't want to give it all away though. For the Americans, you kinda have to feel around where the Germans are with scouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yep, that's what I figured as far as the setup goes but I wasn't sure if the German default was guided towards AI reaction in one direction. Thanks M1, look forward to starting the scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
