Database Design & Discussion

I'm not sure how often these databases get updated (I imagine the authors have actual jobs, families, etc. that might demand their attention, too), but here's what I would like to see added or expanded in these databases whenever it is possible to do so... (I'm guessing some of these do not even require adding new platforms, but just listing existing ones under appropriate countries.) Angola <-- it isn't even in the HUD 3. As I understand it, they have a few Floggers and a few Flankers; I think they also have a couple of Osa IIs. That's enough to cause a little mayhem... Brunei <-- add the Darussalam OPV (with a 57 mm. gun and Exocets, it's as dangerou…

Just curious... When is the next update? Any other news regarding the HUD-4? Thanks.

I am pleased to report that the new version of the HUD-4, v. 1.2, with its updated data annexes, seems to have squashed at least one bug that has taken quite a while to track down and bring to justice. The AIM-7E-2/3 missile carried by many of the early Phantoms now fires and kills targets. (Some of the other AIM-7s always worked fine, but for the longest time the E-series just would not lock on and fire.) The missile is still a bit persnickety! As far as I can tell, you have to have a clear fix on the target's altitude or it will not lock on. But it is now possible to get it to fire and it will kill the aircraft at which one is shooting. I have not yet tested…

Been through the Reimer Editor (including the tooltips in the bottom message bar and the VBA code behind) and the in-game editor and the paper rules, and for the life of me I can't seem to confirm what (or whether) there are specific units of measure for various sensor parameters (like SearchOutput, SearchInput, PassiveInput, FCOutput, FCInput, etc.). Can anyone help with this? Same goes for platform signatures. TIA

MH-60R and MH-60S seem unable to use the AGM-114 Hellfire. When they are close enough to fire, and I try to use the Hellfires, they say "Cannot illuminate target." This seems to happen no matter what I do, so I don't think it's simply that I'm coming in from the wrong direction or anything like that (I'm not sure that would matter with a helicopter anyway). The MH-60R does not seem to have trouble firing the AGM-119 Penguin and the MQ-8 Fire Scout IS able to fire its Hellfires at exactly the same target. I figured I better report this so Gunny can figure it out. I'd recommend checking other platforms that use the Hellfire, too, as some of them may have the sa…

In trying to modify the HUD3 database (yes I am messing with perfection). I seem to be importing or exporting the DB incorrectly. After exporting I get an error saying that the dbsignature.dll file is missing. I don't even see a file with that name. I import the DB from the DB folder in Harpoon 3.9.4, mess with the db in the editor and then export it back to where I got it. Is that the correct process? Thanks, Steve

Mark Gellis put forth a question in the HUD4 forums. How to improve the reception of HUD4. I'm going to give my 2 cents on the name of the topic, "Beating the competition." In order to think about beating the competition you might want an understanding of the competition. There used to be more competition, now it pretty much is down to PDB. Frankly I can't even say that HUD4 is competing with PDB, PDB is it right now, period. Anyway, PDB's creator is the one and only Herman Hum. A few things to note about Herman: Herman has a seemingly endless supply of time to devote to his passions. Herman is not afraid to learn and will learn in order to accomplish h…

I'm a Chinese player, and I got a copy of the database editor from TonyE(thank you!). But when I try to import the database into the editor, it crashed. And there was a pop-up messagebox on the screen which says "error 6: overflow!" After conducted several tests, I found the problem occurred only when you are using a non-english system. Here's the reasonable explanation:(I will take the Chinese edition of win7 into example) There's a bug about the unicode between different language: If you're using the Chinese system and there exist some special terms of english words, such as 's, 'v, 'd and so on, the system will translate the terms into a less Chinese letter suc…

Hello, when editing an airbase all the facilities connect directly with the headquarters? How can I edit them to communicate with the C3I bunker? I have read about this at the manual but I don't understand this point.

Hi All, Would there be any interest in the continuation of the HUD - Harpoon Users Database line of DBs? I've been tinkering with the DB a little and have a few new scens for it that should be ready shortly. I would take this up along with rebuilds of the scens on Dr Who's website and if I gain permission continue the rebuilds I've started on the original scens from the game. Ed Ladner and myself have access to many scens that are probably lost from the web but either simply rebuild with the HUD or are compatible with it. I'd start making these available as well. Anyway a few responses should be enough to motivate me so "hands up" if you're interested...…

Hello people. Being a Harpoon classic/gold player, and usually updating myself the database via the platform editor coming with the game, I was rather annoyed when I found out that there were no platform editor within my H3 disk. I was even more annoyed when i could not find any web pages having a working H3 database editor download..... How could I get one? Hoping of earring of you soon, regards. Mor Breizh.

Greetings from the mines... Many of you will be wondering, "what ever happened to the HUD3?" I'm happy to report that I've managed to put together a group of people from across the Harpoon "World" that are now furiously testing the updated database and rebuilt Global Conflicts 1 Battleset. Don Gilman/AGSI has been kind enough to grant me permission to rebuild and modify the stock scenarios and that's well underway. The project aims to rebuild and or modify all of the original stock scenarios for full compatibility with the HUD3 and improved game play. I'm also working on a modified set of Tutorial scenarios that function with the DB. Don has also in an effort …
