axxe Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Having a file naming issue with a scenario - hope someone can shed some light. I'm playing CMBN on a Mac, OSX 10.11.6. I just recently started playing my first h2h scenario. I was sent a file called "CWVP A Slow Advance.btt" (minus the quotes), which I placed in /Applications/CM.../CM.../Contents/Resources/Game Files/Scenarios/. I then started up CM, chose Battle, and chose the scenario. I have a habit of saving all of my moves with a _save suffix before clicking the red button. Here is a screenshot of what I'm offered as a save name. Notice the period after Advance. If I append _save to that name and click OK, I get a game save called "CWVP A Slow Advance.bts" (minus the quotes). If I manually remove the . then everything works fine - I get a game save called "CWVP A Slow Advance 001_save.bts" This is a problem because it means each game saves overwrites the prior game save. This is particularly a problem for me now because I just tried to go look at my first game save to remind myself which mines in my mine field are anti-personnel, anti-tank, or mixed Ruh roh! Anyone know why the period appears in the offered save file name? Was that set by the scenario designer? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
