JoMac Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Hello, and welcome to the Battlefront Forum. You can download most of your CMBB Scenarios and these two sites: http://www.the-scenario-depot.com/ http://www.the-proving-grounds.com/ You can also Mod your CMBB and find additional Scenarios at this site: http://cmmods.greenasjade.net/mods You may need to register at all sites in order to download. When you click on a scenario just download it directly into your CMBB Scenario Folder, and it will be there when you start-up the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbracco Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Also, is there a version of either CMBB or CMAK for macintosh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dook Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 There is no version of CMBB or CMAK that runs native on current Macs. There is (was?) a version that ran in OS 9. However, if you have a modern Mac and are willing to fork out the money for Windows, you can run the PC version of both games using Bootcamp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbracco Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Please explain me how does bootcamp work 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryInk Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 And for good regular PBEM opponents, get yourself over to www.webandofbrothers.yuku.com You'll find a very nice bunch of CM players there. I believe you can play CMBB/AK if you boot up your Mac as OS9. It presumedly still has that capability? Dunno about bootcamp 'cept here's the Apple page about it: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbracco Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Ok now I know how to download those great GREAT scenarios (I love those historical ones chronologically arranged) but now: what do I do once they're downloaded to get them into the game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi nbracco. Copy your original scenario folder, give it another name and keep for in case. Copy all your downloaded scenarios into the scenario folder. Each scenario has an extension - .cmb, .cmg, etc. - which is relevant for the version of CM you're playing. Should be good to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbracco Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Great, I downloaded the first sorted scenario pack (winter war) and played some games. But, there's some scenarios I can't play, it says that I need another version of the game. What should I do? (I know, I'm so uncapable with computers!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think, but I'm not certain, that the problem is one of the version of the game the scenario was made under. So CMBB 1.03 (i.e. base game patched to version 3) can't run scenarios made with patch 1 or 2. A lot of scenarios would have been made and submitted for play, but not necessarily updated. Again, I'm not sure that this is the problem - hopefully someone else will confirm or deny? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I'm not sure that this is the problem - hopefully someone else will confirm or deny? I'd be surprised if that was precisely the problem. I got the original v1.0 on the disk (surprise) and was able to play the scenarios that came with it. I patched to v1.03 and was still able to play the original scenarios (whose time stamp was unchanged, so they hadn't been updated). A fairly reliable problem issue is trying to play e.g. v1.03 scenarios with an earlier version of the .exe. nbracco - have you patched the game to version 1.03? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbracco Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 No I haven't, the game is exactly as it came in the box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nbracco Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 should I patch it in order to play those scenario that I can't play now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVulture Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 should I patch it in order to play those scenario that I can't play now? You should patch anyway Some of the original artwork couldn't fit on the CD and had to included in patch 1.01, and there are bugs fixes and improvements in the patches anyway. Plus, it lets you play the scenarios created with later versions of the game. There's no downside to patching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
