<t> Well <br/>
<br/>
I have finally managed to retest after installing SP1 for windows 7<br/>
It now (almost) works again ! - well it gets through the Ralph's Scenario.ReadScenario(filename) code<br/>
Now I had a new problem that did not appear before , but have also found the fix for that.<br ...

Arrghh

Of course, I mean Ralph [X(]

I think you are probably right about the runtimes being the problem

I am about to go to Win7 here at work, so I will get another sample ...

<t> Hi all<br/>
<br/>
Hey Parmenio, This sounds similar to a problem i was having with loading SCE files. <br/>
<br/>
I had a problem when using programs built on Larry's DLL for reading scenarios....<br/>
<br/>
If I hard-coded a reference (filename string) to a scenario and used Scenario ...

<t> Howdy<br/>
<br/>
I have tried opening SAL files in Andy's editor and my prototype editor with no luck - it fails in the ReadScenario() method of the .Net class.&nbsp; Tried loading a scenario save file, both as a .SAL file and renamed as .SCE - in both cases the file did not load.<br/>

Thanks for that info - i had most of the icons figured from the manual - but as for the characterisitics - figuring that out was never going to happen

<r> Hi<br/>
<br/>
I think i can shine some light on the split unit issues.<br/>
<br/>
I initially missed the fact that divided units have a "PARENT" and possibly a "NEXT" XML attribute<br/>
The "PARENT" attribute describes the ID attribute of the Parent unit and the NEXT attribute refers to the ...

<r> Hi <br/>
<br/>
Are there any experts out there who know TOAW scenario XML format ?<br/>
<br/>
looking at a XML fragment from a scenario file <br/>

<UNIT ID="12" CHARACTERISTICS="40000" ICON="Assault Gun" ...... ><br/>

Does anyone know what the CHARACTERISTICS attribute does ...

<t> I am not so sure, Try the Korea 50-51 scenario in the classic TOAW folder. I played this before(pre 3.4) and managed to stop the North about 5 hexes from Pusan, then roll them back, vaguly along historical lines.<br/>
<br/>
Now, with 3.4beta, I have been pushed back to the coast, lost Pusan ...

HI HO HI HO its off the work we

<r> Question re. Saving in XML<br/>

In section VI. "INTERNATIONALIZATION AND CUSTOMIZATION"<br/>

<I><s>[i]</s>The File pulldown has Open/Save Map in XML and Open/Save Game<br/>

Hi Ralph<br/>
<br/>
Can I ask - is that a full XML export of a scenario ( good ) or of a saved ...

<r> From memory, the core force for the MC sceanrios are NOT stored in the scenarios file. <br/>
(I think this applies to ordinary campaigns too )<br/>

AFAIK<br/>

<r> Hi <br/>
<br/>
This is a long known about problem - means that any victory hex/exit based scenaio<br/>
HAS to be played without saving. Makes some very tough to play if you have a real life as well <E>:-)</E><br/>

<r> I believe that the scoring system in MC's is still broken - even in 8.2 (This has been a problem since day one of the MC-NA)<br/>
<br/>
Now I hate to grumble, but we have paid for the MegaCampaigns!<br/>

If you <B><s>[b]</s>save<e>[/b]</e></B> the game part way through a scenario ...

<r> When you get the ood*.data messages your save is <br/>
broken. You will have to go back to an backed up save of<br/>
the game. <br/>
<br/>
Some tricks here are to.....<br/>
<br/>
Wait when the game is saving for 5 seconds<br/>
<br/>
Be very careful when selecting the save file for the ...

<r> OK - I have a little windows utility that will copy and preserve the latest MC save into a special location that I used for 18 months whilest playing MCNA and MCLV - it saved my bacon on several occasions. I will drag up the source code and send a new build within a few days <br/>
<br/>
You ...

<t>Sounds like you need to go back to a good save - you have been <br/>
making backups of the save games ??<br/>
<br/>
Given the instabilities with the saving, I take a backup at least<br/>
once for each new battle.<br/>
<br/>
If you don't have a save, maybe someelse playing DF can send you one ...
