What is showing in your game log?

I've been in and out of those scenarios all morning so I know that they work as intended on my machine. Now let's figure out why it's not working on yours.

Good Hunting.

Missouri,

Can you check the properties on the map file. You can find it in the folder Media\Hsg15lpk, the file name is map.bmp.

If you right click you can see properties. it should be an 8 bit bmp 1500 x 1500 pixel.

Or can you zip it up and atach it to a post in here.

Are you able to open/play other scenarios?

thanks
rick

[Mad Russian]

Missouri Reb, did you get this working yet? Or do we still need to find a solution?

Good Hunting.

MR

[Missouri_Rebel]

Sorry its not workin yet. Ill be back online later to see what can be done. Thanks for the attention.

mo reb

[Missouri_Rebel]

The file size you show looks fine

Also, If you haven't tried it yet, try loading Their Toughest Battle and see if that loads for you. Thats a 2km map.

You might check the properties on another scenario map that DOES work. The file size will be different of course.

Thanks
rick

[rickier65]

Missouri,

What are your system specs? Lipki is one of the more resource intensive maps. I wonder if that might be the problem?

thanks
rick

[Missouri_Rebel]

Was it supposed to show  8 bit bmp 1500 x 1500 pixel somewhere in those properties?

Their Toughest Battle does load. WoW, what a nice map.

[junk2drive]

In your post 9 shot those numbers are blank. Try looking at the TTB file and see if that has numbers listed.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Excuse my ignorance,but what and where is the TTB file?

[junk2drive]

Sorry you did such a good job finding the Lipke file I thought it would suffice.

Media\Hsgttbmt map.bmp right click and properties like you did before.

[Missouri_Rebel]

Ah, TTB is the acronym for Their Toughest Battle. A lil slow on the uptake.

Yes the numbers are listed there.

[Missouri_Rebel]

FYI, I cannot open any of the image files in the Lipki map folder but I can for all the other battles.

[junk2drive]

Gotta love computers. Why the heck would that happen? Sounds like that is the problem with Lipki.
