David Stone Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 Okay, go easy, I have screwed up bigtime! Somebody tell me what I have managed to do and how to fix it (if possible): Downloaded the 1.04 patch In an beer induced stupor I had trouble setting it up through Windows Explorer Messed it up & moved too many files around, I think Well, finally got it to work BUT.... My saved scenario design of Arnhem will not open in 'create your own' then 'load' The file name is sitting there BUT... When I try to 'load' it-- nothing Man I am an idiot! Advice on what I pucked-up wold be appreciated... Smart arse comments included... Stoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelWeenie Posted August 22, 2000 Share Posted August 22, 2000 1st thing I would check is if it is the real .cmb file or just a shortcut to it. Right click on it in Explorer to see which kind it is. ------------------ "Belly to belly and everything's better" - Russian proverb [This message has been edited by IntelWeenie (edited 08-22-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Stone Posted August 22, 2000 Author Share Posted August 22, 2000 Thanks Intel, After further review, I believe in tweaking & testing, and tweaking & testing, I screwed up and saved an 'untitled' scenario file over Arnhem. I cannot be certain, but there goes a couple of weeks work. The map was good too. CHIT!! Alas, I drink a homebrew in sorrow... %@##!!:$^)!!!%%%%%%!!!%**%$#^**^%#$ !!!!! Now depression sets in...

Jarhead Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 I know how you feel, I did the same thing. After only 2 days work, and about 10 hours on the map. Nothing compared to the time you have put on you own map. After that I save my map with "Bkup" at the end of the name (Eagles Bridge Bkup) and place it into a separate folder on my hard drive. That way if I uninstall or have similar trouble to what happened to you, the map is safe in the backup file and folder. Hope you can remake the map, it sounds like a good scenario. ------------------ Semper Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Rules 1,2,3 in scenario and mapmaking. Backup, backup and backup. That's nothing David. Three nights ago I was fooling around in the device manager in Windows for my video controls and I lost all of my driver resources. Nothing worked and I had to call Compaq service and they had me go back two days in my registry and reload my drivers. Scared the p.... out of me. ------------------ Blessed be the Lord my strength who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
