Mac Problems with importing Scenario's

[Gold12]

Hi all, Long time watcher, first time caller!

Has anybody had problems importing downloaded scenario's and maps into CMBB or CMAK on the Mac?

I've downloaded numerious scenarios, and transferred them to the appropriate directory, but upon entering CMBB, it would appear the new scenario's do not exist.

The newly imported scenario's appear as .cme files, however, all the other scenario's that came on CMBB have a .CME extension.

Has anybody experienced a similar problem and does anybody know how to get downloaded scenario's up and moving on a Mac?

Cheers!

yes I have had the same issue

and successfully resolved it

try using Stuffit Expander on the downloaded file

it should decompress into a proper CM Scenario File

Whatever you use to unzip probably converts line endings as if it was a text file. Of course that damages the binary file.

stuffit expander worked for me

and the scenarios ran fine

Aha... I'll give that a crack.....

My poor little mac is stand alone so I've been downloading off a P.C. and dumping it onto my Mac... I'll that with the downloaded file and see where I get.

Thanks to everyone for your help.... there's few who appreciate a mac anymore....

Update

i downloaded 2 scenarios yesterday both as "click.php" files

the first "unstuffed/unzipped" and installed fine

the second one wouldnt unstuff/unzip

so I simply changed its name

from: click.php

to: [scenarioname].cmg

then that worked fine

so first try to decompress the file

if that doesnt work, rename it
