JaegerMeister Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hi Phil, i just checked the QB status after running the bat file and i had SS Mechanised, SS cavalry and SS mountain...but WG infantry to choose from !?...so it looks like the patch doesn't cover all the SS possibilities..probably an oversight by 'Schoerner'?..maybe he will read this and update his fix.

Schoerner Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 JaegerMeister: this is because you opened the QB-editor, before the patch-process was completed. Phil & JaegerMeister: make sure you wait, until the MS-Dos box is closed automatically. Then go into the editor.

phil stanbridge Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I did wait mate for the two beeps and still no joy. As a matter of interest, what can I change the wait.txt file to as a minimum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoerner Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 And why don't you wait until the DOS-box is closed? Reduce the number in the wait.txt according to the time your computer needs to load CM2 and add a few seconds of safety-buffer. Before tweaking the waiting-time, the loader should work correctly.

phil stanbridge Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I do wait for the box to close, but my copy of cm takes about 5 seconds to load if that, if I click on the CDV splash screen. I've got a PentiumIV running at nearly 3ghz with ATA133 drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoerner Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 What OS do you use? Which version of the loader do you use (what's the name of the exe)? What's the content of your Wait.txt? Please describe exactly what you do, and what happens when you start the loader and how and when you check the SS-naming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil stanbridge Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 ok it appears to be the blitz.exe that doesn't work at all on mine. I don't hear the beeps. I have managed to get the v2.exe to work bit now I want to edit the wait file so I don't have to sit around for ages. What is a good figure to change it to? I've tried 10000 and it doesn't work - 20000 does but it's still slow. WinXP sp1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoerner Posted October 23, 2002 Author Share Posted October 23, 2002 Measure the time from the initial display of the CM2-splash-screen till the DOS-box closes, subtract approx. 10 seconds and you have the amount of time in seconds you can reduce the waiting time. Don't forget, that the waiting time needs to be in milliseconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
