Welshwill Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 How does the PBEM system work? I have tried downloading the helper from Strategic Command Headquarters, but this didn't work. I couldn't set up SC manually and it didn't pick it up automatically. Will Battlefield.com be supplying the necessary software in the future?

Hubert Cater Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 I'm a little confused myself, can you be a little more specific as to what you need or what you are trying to do. Thanks, Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshwill Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 There is a PBEM Helper download on the SC HQ site. When I installed this file it didn't recoqnize that I has Stategic Command on my system. I then tried to install SC manually, as recommended in the Options menu, but just couldn't work it out. Do I need to create a PBEM game first? If yes. Will need an oponent first?

Hubert Cater Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Ahh OK, I have not tried this helper myself but did take a quick look at the site. There are some help files located there, perhaps these will help, otherwise I know Fuerte (the PBEM helper creator) frequents this forum from time to time and perhaps he can give you more help to get it running.

Welshwill Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Thanks Hubert Do I have to use that helper or are their any other options? [ August 06, 2002, 12:32 PM: Message edited by: Welshwill ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Dave_M Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 WelshWill - Normally with PBEM you just send a saved game file back and forth via e-mai. DAVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welshwill Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 Dave Thanks for your advice. I just tried playing a turn between my E-mail address and my partners. It is rather long winded. I think the PBEM helper is designed to manage the transfer and playing of the games. Do you fancy a game, I don't mind what scenario.
