Agentorange Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I'm a bit stuck trying to make a scenario. It's not a serious one for the net - more of a test bed for learning stuff, but I've got a couple of problems. 1] How on earth do you get from the Preview screen back to the main editor ?. Can't see a hot key listed, tried enter, etc but nothing doing - only two ways out I could find a] ALT Q ( really don't want to do this ), b] press GO ( makes CMBO go all funny ) Please tell me I'm missing something really obvious. 2] I've set up my initial zones in zone mode and allocated units to where I want them to start, however no matter what I do, they won't take on the base colour of the appropriate zone but stay resolutely grey ie : neutral - I've evidently missed something but again I don't seem to be able to find an answer in the manual. Any help gratefully received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leta Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 1] Press the "GO" button in the preview screen. It should work. I cannot understand what's your problem with it. 2] In the "parameters" section you can choose what's the side (east, west, north or south) for each army. That's the initial setup you find in the "preview" screen after you put a new unit in the map, despite the setup coloured zone you have painted. Hope it helps.

If they are German they will stay gray in the editor, if Green they are American etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot understand what's your problem with it. What happens is that once I've pressed Go, it comes out of the preview and goes back top the main editor, so far so good. However all the writing, the wind rose and any other lettering has taken on a peculiar mottled effect - like a weird campflage scheme. if I quit out of the editor and into scenarios the same has happened to all the scenarios, they become almost unreadable, and the briefings appear over the top of the scenario list. I've got both the additional CD loaded and the patch as well. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pzman Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 If you have the retail version of CMBO (CDV version) don't install the 1.12 patch!!!! That may be your problem. Or any patch on the BTS website, your version is 1.12 already, even though it may say 1.03 or something like that.

Agentorange Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 Ok, thanks for that, I'll give it a go and see what happens. As for the patch, I didn't realise that as you guessed I do have the retail version -I'll try a reinstall and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
