You can actually influence the reviewers from the magazines. If they think their readers like the game they tend to give more positive reviews themselves. Sad but true! <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<r> Thanks for the suggestion Webizen. In the end I remembered I had IrfanView, and that worked fine. My screenshots now show pyrotechnics.<br/>

Can I ask what program was used to capture the official screenshots? I'm having trouble capturing with FRAPS (doesn't work at all) and using PrintScrn the explosion and muzzle flash animations don't seem to show.

Thanks.

Thanks. That's good to know.

<r> I'm enjoying myself thus far, but I have just participated in rather an odd Sealion battle.<br/>
<br/>
Playing as the Allies (standard difficulty) I saw off the initial invasion flotilla and the majority of the naval/air threat within ten turns. The Germans had large quantities of armour over ...

<t> It's many, many moons since I last toyed with the innards of a CC game 'base' folder, but I was wondering... Has anyone ever tried to improve pathfinding by stripping complexity out of the 'Elements' file?<br/>
<br/>
What would happen if, say, instead of 20(?) different movement modifier ...

And the map file:

<t> Attached is a scen file that appears to illustrate the issue.<br/>
<br/>
A 8km x 8km map, no terrain or elevations added. Brit force (HQ + 2 x inf coy + mortar plt) in S, attacking G force (army HQ) in N. Playing as G you will see the Brits move towards you, disappear a few km out, then ...

Thanks Paul. That's good to hear.

<t> Ah. The problem was I hadn't set an image for the SIDE. Though it clearly states in the manual:<br/>
<br/>
"you need to set both a small and a large insignia image"<br/>
<br/>
I'd assumed that ticking the "No image" tickbox meant I could get by without one. <br/>
<br/>
Not so.<br/>
<br ...

I've been playing around with the Estab Editor but so far all of my estabs crash ScenMaker. The coe files are very small, containing just a handful of built-from-scratch units and weapons/ammo - could that be the issue? No problems showing in the compiler output report.

Bah.

The save starts roughly 1 hr before the end of the scenario (14.59) and crashes seemingly everytime at 14.43.

Quite a small scenario and fairly straightforward orders so hopefully an easy one to trace.

I'm getting a crash towards the end of Hofen Ho-Down.

I've run the attached savegame four or five times (no intervention, fastest game speed) and all but once it has crashed between 11.00 and 11.35.

Are you using the 1.02B patch?

Ah. It seems not.

I downloaded the press version just a couple of days ago, but it looks like it needs 1.02 and 1.02B.

Thanks for the heads-up.
