I thought I would try the WWII battleset built by Mavgaz, and I downloaded it. When I tried to copy it into the HUCE directory, I was told I would be overwriting other files. The two file names are hdsu.res and hdsu.rsr. AFAIK, I do not already have a WWII battleset installed, and certainly one doesn't show up among the listed battlesets I can select from when I start the game. What would I be overwriting if I put in these new download files? And in what seems to be a related question -- the Battleset builder. It prompts for, among other things, two files with .res and .rsr extensions. And I decided to throw in the hdsu. files (the ones I already had, not the one…

Specifically, the one that was posted here? The download link just fetches an empty 0KB file. Seems like a nicely done mod for a little bit more modern scenarios. It's too bad the author is no longer active here nor on the Matrix Games forums, otherwise I would have contacted him directly.

I've been wrangling some code and am wondering what you all think...

I'm going to ask even though I'm sure this should be in the 'Dumb Question' thread. I've recently been getting back in Harpoon and playing the HCE demo. Its addictive as I remember from back in the day. As the original Harpoon evolved has multiplayer online play ever been considered? I don't see any mention in the HCE description.

Hi Tony, just writing my first scenario with the beta 32bit WScenedit. Thx for making this possible. One first wish for the final version: is it possible to add national borders in both, GE and SE? This would be very helpful for writing and playing.

It's possible to implement this? (Because code issues I think probably only in the long run): Hard-kill anti-torpedo defensive system apparently full deployed in USS George H Bush (and apparently the sensors and warning elements lacking the hard-kill elements in other five carriers, not very clear the article on this point): http://www.scout.com/military/warrior/story/1711759-us-carriers-deploy-new-torpedo-defense-system

I found a useful tanker trick that I haven't seen posted here I'd like to share. It comes in handy for real long range missions that takes a couple of refuels to make. Attach a couple of tankers to a F-15, send them out for the long range mission. Make sure your game time is running in real-time (1 second game-time equals 1 second game-time) for the next step. Select the group after takeoff and split 1 tanker from the group. When you are prompted to set a course for the new group, select yes then cancel the next menu item. Now go into the join menu and join this tanker to the other 2 aircraft. Later on, when you refuel, only one tanker will refuel your unit. If you…

Here is how to install the beta versions when Windows thinks you shouldn't. On the first screen click "More Info" On the second screen click "Run Anyway" Windows is doing a smart thing in that it is trying to prevent you from running programs that are unsigned. Signing gives a measure of assurance that the file is really from who it says it is from and in turn that it may actually be what it says it is. Historically it has been expensive and time consuming to get the signing up and running. HC being a hobby has meant spending money and time on something I don't much care about was a low priority, especially in versions of Windows where running unsigned …

I have hcgold and have been trying to use this scenario editor to download new scenarios. I have read and re-read this numerous times and have come to the conclusion it must be on an old version. 3. Using the Scenario Converter "First, copy the four pairs of RES/RSR files for EC2000 (hdsd, hdse, hdsf, hdsg) from your hard drive or HC97 CD-ROM to your HC2002 GOLD root directory. Then: ......" I cannot find this ec2000 file anywhere in hcgold nor on my hard drive, so I assume it must be from 97. Do you know where i might find this file? Thank you very much. Thanks, Russ

Greetings, New to the Harpoon saga but not so to ASW. Former Seawolves.org member back in the 688i H/K, Fleet Command day´s (alias deep2112). Always wanted to get into Harpoon and just recently bought HUE from Matrix Games and so here Iam First off I would like to thank you all for keeping this sim alive, my hat off to you all for your effort and great work! Second but not least, may you all enjoy these holiday´s and the new year with more and better Harpoon! So for my questions... On install of HUE the only version that created it´s own file path is HUCE in the Matrix Games directory, the rest of the 3 version had no default file path or file (except …

Interesting article sent to me by a friend, this is a 1st generation device imagine what it could be used for with a few upgrades http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/e...pod-touch-ipad/

Hello guys, just downloaded 2008.044 Public Beta and the latest HCDB. If nothing happens in RL, I´ll be back to HCE business soon. Regards, Ralf

Could that be fixed?

Just wondering if this small item could make its way into the improvement tasklist sometime. From an old post on the Matrix forums ... "I've noticed this for the past few iterations of Harpoon Classic, so I thought I'd mention it again ... one thing that always gets me is the fact that the map jumps around if I click on the scrollbars, even if I do not actually move them. Sometimes I'd like to tweak the map view by just a small amount, but when I actually click on the scrollbar to move it the view immediately shifts from its original position. I'm always expecting a more Windows-like behavior where the map moves only when the scrollbar itself is moved ... you know, s…

Greeting all, I just upgraded our home PC to a WIN8, 32-Bit desktop platform. Before I reinstall HUCE, will it run and can I design scenarios on this new platform?

What is the reason the navy has given for removing Phalanx CIWS from Aircraft Carriers?

What debug option will show a message when my own missiles and/or torpedoes run out of fuel and go away?

One enthusiast across the road on the TOAW IV forum produced a new opening splash for the game that I thought, with a little adaptation, might appeal to Harpooners. The link is http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=5058931 if you'd like to see it.
