Hi just joined up,and find the site really overwhelming,i need someone to play me a very small short game,i own the CS matrix edition,so plz remember what it was like when you were trying to get your first game going and plz give me a shoot.thanks Raus.BTW my name is not Raus i just think he was the best German general period,and he was bypassed from history in favour of bigger names,though he was a master of planning and detail.

Hi guys i looked over the site and found all the pbem instructions,one thing i didnt find and need desperate help with is how to zip the damn file,even win zip help i couldnt understand,i am no computer wiz ok,and if i cant get some simple instructions what will i do ,as the AI is a joke all there is is pbem,whitch is what i want to do,for years to come i hope.So plz a simple way to zip and send,please.:conf:

If you use outlook Express double left click on the email sender. a box should open showing the message and zip file. Double left click on the zip file another box opens. Click the open button. when that box opens right click on the bte file. left click on extract. a window opens showing your root directory. Double left click your C drive. Scroll down the the Matrix folder double left click on that. You should see the John Tillers Campaign Series folder double left click on it. Then you see the East Front West Front and Rising Sun folders one left click on the game your playing then one left click on the extract button and Bobs your uncle :) Sounds easy no? :)

was having same problem.been awhile since i zipped file and forgot how
anyway this is what i figured out
1 goto the saved file in your ef folder or which ever folder for game u playing
2 right click on the .bte file
3 in the pop up goto SEND TO first option in new pop up should be
compressed(zipped)folder click on this and file should zip

I must of misunderstood :rolleyes:

When your ready to send the file click on reply click on the attach button. You may have to go looking for the game folder first but when you find it right click on the bte file go to the win zip symbol then left click on add to zip file. Then click on the add button. The progam will make the zip and it will always be at the end of the list of folders and files in the game folder. Just double left click on the zip and it will attach to the out going email.
