Ready for RHS (I think)

[Buck Beach]

After umpteen hours of modem downloading the Maps I think (dubiously) I may be ready for a go. I am going with RHSCVO v 6.653 SO-060. The maps are the RHS digital version 6 with a last modified date of 10/8/06 (is this right?) Do I use the RHS 24-02 6.642 PWHEX? What about the the AW digital V 1.02 release panel, the RHS River ships released 3=-03-07 and the RHS V 6.653 PT fix.

I have downloaded one of the two Summer Maps 6.641 but I thinking they are not for my game. Right or Wrong?

1 Summer Map 6.641 is the correct map to use for v6.xxx scenarios
2 you have the correct PWHEX
3 AW maps were a special for Alaska Warriors Mod not for RHS
4 you seem to have the correct River Ship Pak
5 you need V6.653 PT fix-2 not the original release

get that and you should be right to go

AGGGHHHH!!!!  Four plus hours of downloading and I got the wrong Map.  Back to the download site.  I need both summer map files right?

One map file has hexes the other has no hexes. So both are neccesary.

Well here we go, the RHS 24-02 v6.642 PWHEX set contains 3 similiar files.  Which of the three go into game's top folder as per instructions (or do they all go there)?

We didn't upload the right class files - or they were corrupted and missing records - so that was fixed in a microupdate.

We found some device issues related to vehicles - M-8 Scout Cars and Soviet tanks - and we had some problems (which can only slightly be addressed) re Soviet OBs.

I forgot to send some ships to pick up 4 squadrons of planes, 2 AAA units and a division - which means players need to be more organized than should be required - while looking for the ships I found WWI Insect Class gunboats got mixed up with WWII ones - and that one was missing (the first war loss: Peterel) -

All this is in an update about to upload. For ease of players it will be comprehensive - all data files.

Another question Sid. I notice that all the ship & plane ART files have an August 2006 date on the akdreamer master RHS site. I already have these from mid-last year. From all the changes that have been made (or so it seems to me) are these really the most updated Critical Files?

I believe Cobra was waiting until freezing to update the site files. This should now occur. Meanwhile he posted Sendspace addresses to get updates. In addition - I have a primary distribution list - worldwide - so you can ask for files from someone and get them at any hour - even before they post. Mifune, Cobra and I routinely send out files - as I believe do others (probably Blitzk for example from time to time). I am sure Nemo would if you are in Europe time zones and unable to find the rest of us.

Note that there may not be a lot of new files for a while. My plan is to do pwhex for summer next - and that is the next thing you might have to worry about - unless something wrong is found that matters. Whenever Cobra completes the new plane art for EOS we probably will do an EOS update as well. That is "many weeks" out.

A question Buck as a dial up downloader - what would be a good size for you handle in one download - because at present I just zip up into 2 set normal and hex (24meg each) - it would not be a problem if I zip into smaller packages for dial up downloads

Actually, the 2 files are probably the best. Each one takes about 2 hours depending on the traffic. My download program is the "Internet Download Manager" that in most cases allows for restarts at the point in the download of a lost connection or pause. I also think that if the map file was further fracture is would result in more confusion. Thanks for asking.

Buck

I am now set to go and I have everything I need, unless there are more current "Critical" ship and plane files than are shown on the akdreamer RHS site.

My god....

Dial-up? It is almost quicker to mail him CD's with the files enclosed.[X(]
