Hello, I'm getting ready to upgrade from 2015.027 to the current beta. A few things.. 1) I have several scenarios in progress using the older editor (2015.028). Will these scenarios translate to the new SE? 2) Is it possible to install the upgrade to a new directory, so I can run either the older one or the upgrade independently? I'm sure this is in the wrong thread, as I'm internet challenged. Thanks Patrick

Hi folks, this is your friendly neighborhood programmer and leader guy reminding you that you can make the game better. One of your own, eeustice has created two fantastic Issue Reports: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/tracker/issue-16-debug-assertion-failed-wespac-scenario-crash/ http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/tracker/issue-15-unable-to-add-additional-groups-blue-or-red-in-2009072-se/ Those reports need to be confirmed and any additional insights added. Eric can't do that himself since he reported the issues in the first place. Similarly, once I or someone else marks an issue as Fix Coded. Since I did the fixing I can't be trusted to …

I think the old OrdWriter was packed by error in the last release 2009.070, his date of confection is from August 2012, and I think the possibility of add new type caracthers was added in the September version.

Hi all, I´ve been out for a year or so due to additional work packages, some unexpected. Now I´m slowly on my way back and willing to start scenario writing; after a 5 (?) years pause. I just installed the latest GE/Se combination. GE works fine, but I cannot start SE. In the old times I knew those issues and the solutions, but I´m a bit rusty. So - how to get scenario editor working? Thanks in advance!

After four years of being out of date I've revised and uploaded the AARdata tool in the tools/mods section of the downloads. Sorry it's taken me so long This tool writes a txt file to your main harpoon folder AARdata.txt that holds info from the game play since the current file was started, so you can archive your old file (by changing its name or moving it to a different folder) before starting a new scenario and you'll have a record of major occurrences and time for the life of the scenario. I'll now start looking at provide a snap shot of the content of magazines to be included.

Hi HC players, Please help out your fellow players by being good beta testers. This means when someone posts an issue report, you go and try to recreate the situation. If you find the same lack of, or unwanted, operation of the game, mark the issue as "Confirmed". Add any commentary that you feel was missed from the original report (more detailed instructions to replicate the situation, desired behavior, etc.). Once someone has marked the issue as "Fix Coded" and the mentioned game version is released for testing, please go and test the issue to make sure it really is fixed. The original reporter would mark it as "Fix Accepted by Reporter". Anyone else would mar…

I was using both 2021.010 and .012 to play a fairly long intense game and after I'd called a truce and looked of the report from AAR.DLL I noticed that at midnight (game time) the day's date didn't change. I'll write a test scenario to check this out when I get a chance but wanted to mention it incase others had noticed it.
