Desert Storm 1991 Campaign - Working Copy
 

After some weeping and gnashing of teeth, I finally got my campaign working, thanks to Suhiir, Shahadi, and others.

This is my adaptation of the original SSI campaign for SP2 for WinSPMBT 7.0.

Hope you enjoy!

It plays OK and moves from one scenario to the other but I think it's the fourth or fifth that shows ID tags from ghost units ( never build scenarios with unit ID tags on.... it's just too easy to forget ) and when I try to extract the scenarios I get this error

Loading file header C:\Working Games\WinSPMBT\Campaigns\ucamp015.dat
UNABLE to find scenario 0
UNABLE to find scenario 1
UNABLE to find scenario 2
UNABLE to find scenario 3
UNABLE to find scenario 4
UNABLE to find scenario 5
UNABLE to find scenario 6
UNABLE to find scenario 7

and that should NOT be happening so it's not 100% yet

If you want to send me the original scenarios you built this from you know my email address

Ah great. I'll open it up and take it for a spin, then report back to the forum.

Hey half the fun of building a campaign is getting it working the way you want (or sometimes at all) ... I've been working on one (VERY part time) for years.

Re: Desert Storm 1991 Campaign - Working Copy
 

Ah crap, looks like I designed this for version 7.0. That's probably why we're seeing ghost units, and why it works fine for me and no one else.

Re: Desert Storm 1991 Campaign - Working Copy
 

not ghost units........ left over unit id flags. Those happen when you remove a unit from the list with the ID tags on

Re: Desert Storm 1991 Campaign - Working Copy
 

Sorry to return to the charge but I still encounter the same problem.
On the first map the buildings do not appear.
Example The hex 59.15 shows nothing but if I pass the cursor over it, it tells me
"hex 59.15 Height 0 A.Building Clear ..". ..
By cons, if during the turn this invisible building is damaged, the drawing of a damaged building appears.
Someone else does it the same kind of phenomenon?

I use the V8.0-DL release. My OS is XP3.
I did not encounter this problem with other scenarios offered on this site.
If it ever came to a malfunction home, someone will have an idea to solve this?

DRG ?

Well this is what I see in 59, 15 so unless someone else reports the same problem I'd say the problem is at your end

you say......"buildings do not appear"

NONE of them ???..... if the answer is none of them you are missing a SHP file that everyone else has.

TER25 - Single Hex Desert Buildings........ do you see desert buildings when you auto-generate a desert map ?

EDIT.....THIS IS NOT A DL vs CD VERSION ISSUE. I double checked a DL version of the game and those buildings show up just fine.......
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/attac...1&d=1424368991


so I would suggest you need to re-install your game because it appears you have missed WinSPMBT version 5.5 if you do not see desert houses which means you'll need to DL the main 167.6 mb patch then patch ver 6, ver7 and ver8 in order

Re: Desert Storm 1991 Campaign - Working Copy
 

thank you DRG,
Indeed, some files were missing!
I reinstalled everything and now it works.
thank you again

I just played through the first scenario and it appeared to work fine for me, campaign also extracted correctly, but since I have a number 15 campaign, I had to renumber the files to a higher number. There wasn't an obvious pre-battle briefing before the first scenario, but a road leading to a town with victory squares and people in the town shooting at me made it obvious what needed to be done :)

And the number of first round hits at over 2000 yards makes me wonder if I'm fighting the Iraqis or Rommel's Afrika Korps :D
