For BTS, Can a scenario be back - reved?

[groundpounder]

Anyone know how to take a scenario that was created with the 1.1b version of CM and convert it so it will work with CM 1.05?? Is there a binary edit that can be done to change the version string (or whatever data type it is)??

Thanks,

Unfortuantely there is no process I know of to do this groundpounder.

It sounds like you're too late this time, but your best bet is to keep both a 1.05 and 1.1 Combat Mission .exe file in your CM folder. That way, you can create games in one, play them in the other, or whatever. There'll be times when you'll find that you need the older version. I still have 1.03 around for viewing AAR movie files.

The problem is that I have created a scenario with the 1.1b version. So it can not be played with 1.05. If the structure of the .cmb file has not changed from 1.05 to 1.1b then it should be a simple hex edit of the version string to back rev it. All I should need to do this is;

1. Offset of version string (or whatever data type)

2. Data type (and hence the length)

3. Value

Good suggestion Gustav. I think I will take that approach from now on.
