Krinks Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Is it possible to put place names on the map in the demo? I followed the naming and file conventions in the manual, but is there a specific place I need to save the file? Or is this a feature that's disabled in the demo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 Mac or Windows? That feature should work in the demo. I will double check it later today or tomorrow. The place names file should be located at the same level as the map that it is for.

I've tried moving the Map001c.names file to a bunch of different directories, but no luck. The error message I get is "Map001c.names. Could not find or open the file. The file may be missing or damaged." I saved the file in the Maps directory right next to the Map001c.map file and I saved it as a plain text format. The body of my names file is: 139042[TAB]Enemy Town[ENTER] This isn't a really essential feature for me, but it would be nice to have for when I get the game and have rally points or fall-back areas to mark. BTW: Thanks for your quick response MajorH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH TacOps Developer Posted September 16, 2002 Share Posted September 16, 2002 >139042[TAB]Enemy Town[ENTER] Try adding another [ENTER] after "enemy town". Make sure the "0"s in the file name are actually zeros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krinks Posted September 16, 2002 Author Share Posted September 16, 2002 Hm ... nope that didn't do it either. Weird. I'll keep working on it though. Anyone else having this problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krinks Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 Hm... I got the full game in the mail, and I still can't get place names to appear I've been saving it under the proper directory (the same one with the maps), and the correct name, but still get the error. I've even tried it with Map009c (Team O'Hara). Major--I tried to send you the file, but for some reason it won't attach to my e-mail. I'm not really sure why. I've tried saving the file as MS-DOS Text and Text Only through Word 2000. Any other suggestions? Thanks [ September 23, 2002, 05:36 PM: Message edited by: Krinks ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Osborne Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 Hi Krinks, It worked for me. As soon as I quite playing CMBB. I will post here how to do it. Or send me your file for your names and I will look at it josbornesprint11@earthlink.net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutomaticFire Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 For Win XP users, Go to the Start Menu > Control Panels > Appearance and Themes > Folder Options > View > uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types." This should enable the user to remove the .txt attached to the MapXXXc.names file. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
