Hey Guys, I edited some of the wav files for HCE (and added/edited a couple thanks to Stalintc). I didn't want to be blown out of my chair & given a heart attack going from dead silence to a loud boom. I also added a couple little extras into some sounds. It's not a huge makeover but gives a few of the sounds a bit more flavor. Submitted the zip in the mod section. http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...mp;showfile=421

Ideally this post will get prettier but with no further ado, HC Versions and Updates... HUCE Current Release Version: 2015.027 (prior version was 2009.097) HCE Current Release Version: 2009.050 (prior versions were 2007.000, 2008.024, 2008.048) HUCE/HCE Stable Beta: 20##.###

I am trying to bring my database date, but I am having trouble finding the append button on the editor. thank you. -tanthier

After a number of years away, I purchased the HUCE version and noted the WestPac scenarios are missing. I think I have to download another database and (maybe) the battleset? Confused as to how and where to install DB and potential battlesets, and if the install will allow just WestPac and no other of the newer HUCE included scenarios. Is it an all or nothing or when done w WestPac can I back off to the HUCE as downloaded list of battlesets? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Dukera

Been playing for a long time - and frustrated with the speed of the simulation. Plenty of horse power to run HUCE but simulations crawl. Restarting scenari from saved games helps for a little bit then slow to a crawl again. Windows 10 I7 3 gHtz 12gig ram. Any ideaas?

File Name: Nef's Sound Mod File Submitter: NefariousKoel File Submitted: 8 May 2009 File Updated: 8 May 2009 File Category: Tools/Mods/Docs Authors: NefariousKoel I edited some of the sound files for HCE. Changes include slightly lowering the .wav decibals for some of the sounds that could give you a heart attack. Also, some of the sound's tones were lowered a bit for less screaching and more BOOM. The missile explosions now have a very short rocket sound before the new, less startling, explosion that has turned out very well. Lastly, I added a couple sounds from one of Stalintc's excellent mods and did some editing on the missile launch sound. Tha…

Hi guys, I am a long time player of harpoon. I want to try running the scenario editor on a Oracle virtual machine. Any help with what version of VM machine would be helpful. I want to use Windows XP as the operating system. Can I use windows XP professional? Should it be Windows XP 32 bit. I'm not asking for help to get this running, I just want to know what hardware and software I should use. Thanks in advance

I understand the principle, function, purpose of Command and Control in a real operation. However, what I don't understand is what, if any, benefits accrue to using them - and here I thinking specifically of EC-135K Head Dancer - within an Harpoon scenario?

I have searched the forum but am unclear on use of multiple databases. For example, I can download a scenario which needs the america's database. If I download the additional database I know I need to rename the HCE database. How does the new scenario read the right database and are there any problems in renaming the existing HCE database in existing scenarios. Thanks and you have done a great job in updating this wonderful game.

Hi Folks, Sometimes the details get a little murky. I gather that the new torpedo acquisition ranges are db dependent and that the improved sonar, ESM and ASW modeling are dependent on the game engine? Is this correct? Thanks

I have notice the coming up on my message log more frequently making my message log basically useless. It seems to happen more often with larger scenarios. I would like to know what might cause this and how it may be disabled. It seems to happen whether or not I have the ignore no ship movement on or off in staff options. I am wondering if it may be a memory problem or running the scenario with a database more current then the one it was written with. I have looked for this in topic search but cannot find anything on it.

Are the ECM jammers cumulative? For example, we can have a Su-27 Flanker with two SPS-170 ECM jammers of +10 DATA each one. If we arm a Flanker with two SPS-170 can we get a total DATA of 10+10=20?

I much like it that the GE logs the missile hit calculation probabilities in the Message Log and I feel like I almost understand it ... but lets face it, I don't. So what is FPh, Ph, DPh? Ok, DPh must be the defending missile's hit probability from the Database. How does the other two work? [[At this point writing the post I got a strong feeling that this question must have been asked already and lo and behold http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/topic/17720-noob-question/?p=36209]] There are still some questions after reading Tony's explanation. Here are two missile engagements from HDS1 10.0, I colored the bits I\'ve questions on: To Go 0:23:41:20 3…

Hi, I haven't used the HCE PE in several months. Always before it has come up directly into the editor. This time it seems to be coming up into some sort of debugger. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thx, Gene Smith

HarpGamer, in conjunction with Advanced Gaming Systems Inc (AGSI) and Matrix Games, is launching what we call the “HCE Challenge”. The Harpoon Commander’s Edition (HCE) Challenge will be, for all intents and purposes, a scenario design contest, the goals of which will include: • providing an interesting, enjoyable and potentially rewarding way to learn how to write scenarios for HCE; and • generating new and challenging scenarios for potential inclusion in the new official HCE BattleSets: Caribbean, South Atlantic, South Africa and the Middle East). The HCE Challenge will have a competitive aspect, and the “winners” will receive rewards which may include any …

Just wondering if anybody else is playing around with the beta. Downloaded it a couple weeks ago and most stuff works pretty well. All the HCE stuff seems to work fine except for the Scenario Editor. Anybody else having problems? I'm running version 2008.044. I've tried running the Scenario Editor in all of the different compatibility modes but no dice. Fully understand that I'm running a beta OS, and incompatibilities are to be expected, just wondering if anybody else has had any luck getting it to work. Thanks, Jim

Hello, Has anyone had any UCE game freezes this week? I am running off an I3 / Win 7 Machine with ample hard drive space and 4GB of memory. I play UCE almost daily, but after the last Windows Update UCE freezes the moment I launch a game. Any ideas? Cheers
