nevermind Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I have been trying to download your scenario at The Scenario Depot for a few days now.The scenario is question is "Small Battles, Bidermann's Gun".Seems all i get is an empty zip file :confused: .I dont have problems d/l'ing any others from there,could you or someone show my what im doing wrong,or please fix the file or somefink! BTW,i love the smaller battles you have done,great for tcp/ip or PBEM,but also great against the AI.When im looking for a litle CM action,and dont want a ridiculous looking QB,your scenarios "hit the spot",not too short,not too long.I also like the smaller amount of points involved.I encourage you,as well as others,to keep making scenarios like these. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Keth Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 nevermind, I just downloaded "Small Battles, Bidermann's Gun". I successfully unzipped the 17kb zip file to a 18k CME file. I have also looked at the internal structure of the file and it seems fine. Unfortunately (on many levels) I'm at work and cannot load up the file in CMBB...can anyone else help us out here? What is the size of the respective files you download/unzip? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size is 16.8 kb.I dont understand why it isnt working.Granted i am not using winzip,or any similar program,i am using the unzipping ability/utility built into winXP home. I have never had problems like this before,and have never had a file from the scenario depot that wouldnt unzip.I can also normally double click a zip file and it will let me see what is inside it,without having to unzip.The file in question is empty and wont unzip :confused: :confused: What am i to do? Again,thanks! [ May 16, 2003, 11:13 AM: Message edited by: nevermind ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Keth Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 nevermind, Send me your email address (mine's in my profile) and I'll send you an unzipped copy of the battle. I'll be sending the file from my work account, so I'll be explicit in the Subject line of my email to you (you'll understand when you see it). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Nevermind, If you are using WindowsXP and the native ZIP decompression, that is likely the issue. It does not like some forms of zip files. Download winzip. WWB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevermind Posted May 16, 2003 Author Share Posted May 16, 2003 Admiral Keth, Thank you very much for your effort.I can indeed play the scenario now I would also like to thank you for the effort involved in running one of the most valued websites pertaining to CM.It is people like you that make CM the great game it is. Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KG_Jag Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Yes, the problem is that XP will not read about 5% of the scenario files posted at the Depot and elsewhere. Instead of buying new software, I just put the downloaded zip file on a foppy; take it to my old P-II running windows 98 and open it with the Net Zip I have on that machine. Since I'm an old wargamer and not a computer person, it took me a while to figure this out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
