TSword Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 As those know which are creating scenarios, the german version has an error, where one cannot see the turnnumber when using renforcments in the unitselection screen due to excessive long string. A cure up to upcoming patch: FORUM MODERATOR COMMENT: Danial I did email you about this but it appears you did not get it...While what was posted was rather harmless in itself (just a change to a data string table which would not affect ANY other game data) we by and large do NOT condone posts on our forum which instruct on how to modify our game executable. TSWORD did nothing wrong, I want to stress that but we can see already that people are thinking this same approach would apply to *other* areas of the game and that is not accurate. Charles has already confirmed that this issue with the missing turn number WILL be fixed in the first v1.01 patch which we are already working on. More details on that patch to follow. Any more posts with instructions on how to change or modify the executable will also be removed. Thank you...

Pvt. Ryan Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 So, can this method possibly be used to change any other "undesired text" in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I refer of course to the inclusion of Soviet Union forces in CMBB. Just joking!! Now... Non-Europeans can change their Waffen-SS to Waffen Grenadiers. Socialism in action! Everyone is equal and everyone is happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSword Posted September 23, 2002 Author Share Posted September 23, 2002 Pvt. Ryan, Yes, the method can be used to alter strings in the game, although a bit tiresome. I have no intention to change anything else, because i only NEEDED to change the reinf-counter text so it works. Greets Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Well, I don't NEED to change anything, but some people who will be purchasing CMBB from a source other than BFC may WANT to change SOMETHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecumseh Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I suggest TSword's bug fix should be the last ever post about hex-editing CM. We do not want to go there!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 What is the legal position of editing the CDV version of he game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
