New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Feldgeneral Hoth - 02-09-2010 Hello. A new scn for JTCS WF has been uploaded to the H2H section. I hope you like it. Here some of info: 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind 20 turns SM:4 [Wingen sur Moder, 40 Km NW of Strasbourg]:[H2H] [HIST] [GD]. In the first week of 1945, the operation Nordwind was planned by Hitler as an aditional attack linked to major german offensive in the Ardennes area. This operation was focused in the Alsace area, a large mountainous area heavily wooded with a few available roads suitable for vehicles movements. The new arrived german 6th SS Gebirg Division will be the task to open the attack from the Alsace-Lorraine border to the south, with the main objective at Saverne Gap. In the area, Americans deployed the 70th Infantry Division with some armored units attached to control 40 Kms in a supossed calm frontline. The german plan for the well-trained SS mountain troops were infiltrate in the forest, attack and hold the main roads to south to allow the second echelon of forces from 21st Panzer Div and 25th Panzergrenadier Div to cross the area without difficulty. As soon as the Schreiber's Gebirgs men starting the attack, the progress will be evident, favoured by terrain,alerting to Americans and looking for enemy roadblocks that blocked any allied reinforcement. The major penetration of german attack will be the village of Wingen, where the US 276th Regiment had a hard task to halt the enemy attack, who infiltrated more than 300 men in the village, cutting the main road in Wingen during 30 hours...[ALL: N VV]. Cheers Chema RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Big Ivan - 02-10-2010 Hi Chema, First off let me say that I love the scenario work you do. However, with this new scenario there is a problem and a conflict with von Earlman's "When the Odds were Even" scenario. It appears the maps have both the same name. I copied it as a second Nordwind map but when I pull up your scenario to view it it is on von Earlman's original Nordwind map which I might add is very large. Do you know if there is a work around for this issue or will I just have to delete von's scenario in favor of yours or vice-versa? Thanks Ivan the Big:smoke: RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Herr Straße Laufer - 02-10-2010 There may be two fixes. One would be to remove von Earlmann's map from your game folder, (place it on your desktop). Then download Chema's design and map file. You will have to play "hide the monkey" when you are playing either scenario as one map file will overwrite another map file. Or, Chema would have to rename his map file and link it to the scenario file, so it will not overwrite ... and then upload it again. I guess either would work for whomever would want to do the work? HSL RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Feldgeneral Hoth - 02-10-2010 Hi. Apologizes about this problem. I'm not aware about file names conflict. I have not problem to rename the map file, but I'm not sure if changing name file is enough..I think i must rework the entire battle including the scn file, because this file contains the map name encrypted. (i'm not sure about how do it). any ideas? Chema. RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Big Ivan - 02-10-2010 Ed, I love the term "hide the monkey"! I never quite heard it put that way. It seems the best for me because I'm not sure how to do a link back. Chema, I know if you just rename the map file it will crash your scenario as the original .scn file has that map file "Nordwind" name somewhere in it. I think you can easily redo a scenario by first leaving your old scenario alone. Re-open the map and org files from the original and save under a different name. Then get back in WF and open your original scenario in the editor as a guide. Then minimize that screen and re-open WF scenario editor through windows exployer and using the new map and org file names create a new scenario. In essence you'll have two scenario editors for WF open at the bottom of your tab bar but you will be able to only work with one at a time. Use the old one as a guide and work only with your new one. I've done this with map files before and it seems to work OK. Ivan the Big:smoke: RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Feldgeneral Hoth - 02-10-2010 Ok, done. Thanks Ivan for your help. Your comments make me go ahead a bit and I found a way to fix this issue without you have to design an entire new scn file. 1. Rename map and org and image files with new names with map and OOB editors. 2. Open Scn Editor and create the new scn file. Do not include anything inside the scn file. Just save with the new name and close editor. 3. Open the old scn file with wordpad text editor from your Windows OS and minimize in the toolbar. 4. Open the new scn file with wordpad again in other windows. 5. Go to the old scn file in the wordpad and do Select all text and Copy from tool menu and minimize 6. Go to the new file scn in the wordpad. Select all and Paste from tool menu, and save the file. 7. Close both files. and Voilá. In order to avoid later confusions, delete or move to other place the old scn files. Thanks. Chema RE: New Matrix WF scn added. 6th Gebirg SS in Operation Norwind - Smedley - 04-01-2010 I tried to playtest this scenario and it still has map issues. I get a black screen when starting the game.....no map. Is there any plans to make the download from H2H work properly.....without any file management tweaks.

The map issues has been fixed in 1.1 version to avoid names conflict with Earlmann scn. The game files are already uploaded to the H2H section. Thanks:) |
