Pieter Soldaat Posted November 9, 2000 Share Posted November 9, 2000 Hello, I was very enthousiastic on making a specific battle in the Ardennes. But now I want to make the map bigger (4 by 4 Km) and therefore need to alter the scenario from battle to an operation. Does anyone know if that is possible and how I should do that? greetings, Pieter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudeLover Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 What happens if you make a copy of the file mybattle.cmb and rename it mybattle.cmc? (I mean make the copy in 'finder' or DOS or whatever the windbloze equivalent, not in CM.) Will CM be fooled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 It won't work. I've tried that. The game will not recognize it. Hopefully that will be changed in the future. Right now no conversions can be made from cmc to cmb or vice versa.... ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 Here's a suggestion, but its mind-numbingly tedious...handraw your map on GRAPH paper (the kind with little boxes..can be found at the stationary stores) BEFORE you enter it into the computer. You'll find it actually goes quicker this way, too. Then you can use the same graph paper map for CMC and CMB. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Soldaat Posted November 10, 2000 Author Share Posted November 10, 2000 thanks folks, So that leaves me with the decision to do it all over again ;-( Or to wait for CM-2 in which might be included a scenario-editor with a cut/paste function. greetings, Pieter.

Wild Bill Wilder Posted November 10, 2000 Share Posted November 10, 2000 I know your pain, Major. I spent days designing a scenario map way back during beta testing. Then I too discovered that it would not work for an operation. Grim news indeed ! Sorry that happened to you...WB ------------------ Wild Bill Lead Tester Scenario Design Team Combat Mission-Beyond Overlord billw@matrixgames.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
