CW Europe Mod-Scenario Data Base

[Warhorse]

So you're saying these crash when you open in the sceneditor?

[John Given]

John, in an e-mail exchange i had with Stefan a few months ago, he said that he had updated the entire game, and had updated most (if not all) of the scenarios for CW to make sure they would all play. And yes, you are correct that his oob changes are one reason why.

I can't say with certainty that his corrected scenarios are all a-ok now, but I'm curious; did you check to make sure you are playing the most recent version of Cold War? That could be the problem.

It's a bit hard for me to be certain from chatting with Stefan, but it looks like most if not all modern combat units have been added to the cold war oob's. Stefan says that he is working on adding some more nations (with their own oobs of course), but none of that will affect existing scenarios. New graphics also don't affect scenarios, but I'm not sure about new terrain templates.

I wish I could remember just sitting here whether Stefan said he had corrected all scenarios (in his most recent update). He'll probably log on soon and clear it up.

Hope this sheds a little bit of light on things.

Hmm, I'm not getting crashes in the editor, even when I remove mods to it?

Yes Mike, that is correct. I think it has something to do with the last update (unit names to English) but not really sure.

John,

I believe I have the most recent install and updates. To digress I have the original install, the update to convert the menu language to English and finally the update to convert the names on the combat units (Belgian mostly) to English. Don't know of any other updates but perhaps I may be missing one, not sure.

Gentlemen,

the reason why not all scenarios work is very simple. After the intensive and long discussions about the medics i resolve the complete medic structures into my game with new and - i think - better game functions.

I haven´t update a few scenarios until today and so they couldn´t work with the updated oob´s.

Forgive me, i will update the scenarios in the next few days!

John (ItB), what is "Reckhahn" for a scenario?

Stefan, Mike and John

Reckhahn is probably one of my creations.

However, I think the crisis may be solved at least on my end. I reinstalled the game late this morning and the first patch (German to English conversion of the menu's) and the game appears to run fine! All scenarios open in the scenario editor.

I did not install the attached patch because I believe that's where the problem lies and it looks like you confirm that Stephan.

I'll wait for the updated patch to come out. Until then I at least have a fully functioning CW-Europe MOD

Thanks gentlemen I appreciate your interest and comments!
