Boid is the Woid Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Have there been changes to the unit availability in the editor? I seemed to be able to pick individual M1917 and M2HMG teams under the "Specialist Teams" tab. But since I've installed the patch they are no longer listed.

Mesquite55 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Ok I have Final Blitzkrieg 2.01. Readme file says you need 2.02. How do I get 2.02? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Bull Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 What is the correct way (if any) to update a PBEM curently started in the previous version to the new patch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Save game in command phase (when giving order). Patch game. Load save, voila it is patched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kohlenklau Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dang, I am doing something wrong. I had 2.02 and all was well. Now downloading the patch and failing somewhere as it says down in the corner 2.03 but in the editor I see the odd unit names and such. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think this usually happens if you have extracted the patch in a folder with other brz files or you have a mod that modifies string.txt. Perhaps Vin's animated icons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I removed the Vin mod and the odd units went away BUT I still have this other odd issue. I am trying to make sign mods for a guy making a Peiper campaign. He sent me a scenario/map. Anyway, in the modtag section of the editor I see the white text for the modtags he had and wanted to import a new modtag text file but then I seem unable to import. No white text. Nothing there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zveroboy1 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Try exporting the current modtag list, then open it with notepad, append the new tag at the end of the list, save and then import it in the editor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Thanks for the idea but still no success. I don't know what the f is going on... But whatever, I don't even play the game any more although I can still do his mods. He added the new modtag and emailed me the scenario. We're functioning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same issue of „weird unit descriptions“ after installing the FI and FB patches. The solution was to just copy the missing brz-files into place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Bull Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) I upgraded my CMFB to the latest patch during a PBEM thinking my opponent had upgraded the PBEM to the latest patch. They had not and now the PBEM is unplayable. Our PBEM has been on halt for almost 2 months as I gathered the energy to do what I believe needs to be done to get the game back on track: that is, to install CMFB and patch it to the previous version (then load PBEM, save in orders phase, patch CMFB to latest version, continue playing). I am however unsure of exactly how to do that as there seems to be various patch/upgrade/install files. I did run the file CMFB_v100_Setup.exe sucessfully that at least installs the game to its original release version. I now just need to patch it to the patch prior to the last (I actually don't know what version that is). I now have downlaoded the following patch files which are categorised as CMFB Engine 3: CM2_Win_Final_Bliztkrieg_v101_Patch CM2_Win_Final_Bliztkrieg_v102_Patch The CMFB engine 4 patch fiels however just include a single file (CMFB v203 Update PC) that appears would update everything to v203 which is not what I want. From this position, what other files do I need to download and install to get the game to the version prior to latest patch (i believe it's v202)? I understand the module upgrade needs to be installed at some point durign this process. Edited September 2, 2020 by Lt Bull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace11 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I installed the latest patch. Where did the Specialist Teams > Forward Observers go for Wehrmacht and SS. They were there before the patch, because they are in missions I've made where I've clearly added them as Specialists and not as a Formation. Also the Fallschirmjager have their specialist FO's and the Americans have theirs too for Inf., Armd Inf. and Armor? This is a problem in QB purchase screen and in Scenario Editor... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vergeltungswaffe Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Interesting that the Wehrmacht has an FO in Armored Infantry but nowhere else and no SS anywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Jace11, I couldn't find them either. I tried setting different dates--it shouldn't matter, and it didn't. The SS and all but Wehrmacht panzergrenadiers don't have FO's. @akd@sburke@Combatintman or @IanL Almost has to be a bug, but since no one else noticed this until now...maybe not for some oddball reason?

Jace11 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 A couple more things about 2.03. 1. CMFB 2.03 and the latest CMBS patch are filling my temp folder with little 2kb files with a prefix of SS_ and the a 4 hex file name. I assume they can be deleted safely (except when the game is running - this is how i identified their origin and I wondered where they were coming from for a while). 3 new ones are created per session. Looks like a small executable or dll. Maybe SoftwareShield DRM (SS prefix??) is responsible -just guessing. This is new since 2.03 however. 2. There is a new Jagdpanzer IV 70 V (early) model in the 2.03 patch. The reason for this inclusion isn't mentioned in the readme notes. The only reason I'm mentioning it is it includes some new texture errors as well as some old ones. The sparetrack options (on the back of the hull) are now using the wrong texture (the jpz skirt texture is used instead of the correct one), this is a brand new texture bug for this model introduced with 2.03. The sparewheel option is using the wheel texture. It shouldn't, it should be using the hull, there is a spare wheel on bottom left the hull texture for this purpose (this error had been around since the release of CMFB). Also the mudguard options are using the skirt texture and not the hull (again a long term graphics bug). You can actually see the mudguards and track using the textures from the side skirts in this image. However it is relatively easy to fix the model, here is what it should look like (I edited a fix of 2.03 model): The track is from the pziv skirt texture, while the spare wheels and mudguards are from jpz hull. The correct texture names were identified by looking at other jpz models lacking the error. I confess I've gone back to 2.02 now, I mostly play QB's and the inability to buy cheap observers is a bit of a pain. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember looking at the wheel and wondering if it was supposed to be an air intake, small observation cupola, some kind of hatch... It's only now that you fixed it that I see it should be a spare wheel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy56 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 If you own CMBN Market Garden you can also grab the "jpz-iv-70-early" model from "normandy v210 market garden b.brz" and just drop it in the Z folder for FB to fix it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
