Hi Folks,

I finally got on-board with ANW! but apologies, I have poked around and could not find any FAQs on HUD4. is the concept similar to swapping out the active DB in HCE? I download the latest or preferred version of the HUD file, and copy over the original files in ANW? Do I need to recompile any of my scenarios?

Thanks,

-Armando

Hi Armando,

To use HUD4, please follow these steps:
-create a subfolder called "HUD4" in the databases folder of Harpoon3ANW.
-extract the zip file HUD4 to this subfolder
-when launching Harpoon, in the launcher, click on the "Database Manager" tab and select "HUD4".
-Press OK and launch Harpoon, there you go.

Regards,

FG

Thanks! I played around int the H3 launcher and figured it out last night. Appreciate it. What steps would I need to make sure a scenario worked correctly with a particular database? Would I need to recompile the scenario using the editor?

Armando,

The "great leap forward" (Ave Mao) with H3 ANW comes from the launcher. Before it, it was hard to have several databases working together without mismatch problems. Launcher and its "Database manager" tab make it possible to have several db being installed, each in a folder, and associated scenarii in a subfolder. No more risk of mismatches between databases and scens. You can switch as you please. Recompilation is not necessary, since scens will work as long as you don't put an old version of a db with a new version of the scen. Please check not to change anything to the scens folder, due to major overhaul, there are less and less common points between HUD3 and HUD4, even if the latter derivates from the 1st, there are some changes making them different dbs with different scens to work with.
