Hello all, I am hoping you can help with a problem I am having. I have HC2002 and unfortunately I have not been able to complete a game without the game crashing. It seems to just lock up everytime and I have to use task manager to end the program. I haven't been able to pinpoint what event causes this crash as it happens at different times or events each game. I re-installed the game and am having the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have downloaded a few scenerios which require the westpac battleset. Supposedly this battleset is included in my copy of HCGold, but I am unable to locate it. Any help here?

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

I've tweaked the most recent DB with the PE to include some differently armed LCS'. Then futzed around with the SE to create a small scenario based on the H4.1 scenario I had been gaming. The TG was attacked by a P-3F Orion and it's two C-801 missiles were defeated by ESSM. The Group then let loose on a group of 6 boghammers detected by a combination of RQ-8 and MH-60R's. Two boghammers surviced the harpoons, and we quickly dispatched by an armed RQ-8. First thoughts is that the RQ-8's are short-legged. Will reasearch further, but that';s my initial impression. Pete

Dear By opening the WW3 scenario with the SCENEDT.EXE (B12) I get every time the "GetAnnex Error" and then crash the program. Also somebody here a idea what I can do? Thanks and regards Gopher

Dear I have the known problems with the import of the HCDB to the Access DB. By writing email to PEFix@harpgamer.com I didn't get a respond up to now. Have anybody a empty pfBuild2002.mdb which work? Regards Gopher

Hey folks, I got a couple of messages from AGSI and have been asked to send them forward to the Harpoon community. This request was passed onto me from Don Gilman, AGSI President. I know that there are many of you who have contributed snippets and nuggets of information regarding the various games, tactics, and scenario design ideas. If anyone is interested in helping put together a composite of all this stuff, please contact Don Gilman at AGSI http://www.computerharpoon.com/contact Herman Hum I'm looking for some glory-bound folks looking to promote their sites/names by pitching in on an HCCE task. Since most of the H3 manual was done by…

Calling MGellis... I finally snooped into what you were seeing with blank lines for ship entries in the SE with recent versions of the HCDB. The deal is that 16-bit list boxes (the scrolling list of units) can show a maximum of 8192 items (we can only have 2048 items so we don't hit that limit) or 65536 characters of information in the entire list box. It is the 65536 character limit we hit, when the SE gets there, the rest of the lines after 65536 characters are blank. Simple math shows that to fit the max possible number of entries from the game (2048), each entry in the list box for the Platform Display must be limited to 32 characters max. I hav…

In older game versions, when I was dealing with a CVBG, when I opened the Formation Editor, smaller air capable units (an FF with a LAMPS for example) would be listed in the units pane with their air assets listed as "Auto". CV air assets were just listed, and assigned sectors manually. Now I notice, the "Auto" notation no longer appears. Is this a change, or did I turn it off somehow? Using "Auto Formation Air Patrols" seems to have no effect.

Dear Brad, I can't figure out how to upload new scenarios to HarpGamer. I would be happy to have any or all of the scenarios I've posted to FilesofScenShare posted here, too. If posting is something that has to be done by a moderator, please feel free to re-post my scenarios on HarpGamer. Thanks. Mark

While I mostly struggle with H4, my struggles can be traced back to Gulf Strike on my parent's dining room table while in high school. I recently picked up this gem and it's back on the table, although not at my parent's.

I'm running HCCE b09c under Windows XP. I recently designed a small scenario in the EC2003 IOPG Battleset. The strange thing I'm experiencing is that while playing Red, I'm getting reports on surface units from a Blue P-3. Has anyone else had this happen? If so, does anyone know of a fix? Thanx: Tom

I just downloaded the latest (2005b09c) version and installed it, and I'm having a problem with the platform Editor. I created a new surface platform and saved it. When I open any scenario in any of the EC2003 Battlesets, the platform appears under Platform Display/All Platforms. When I use the Scenario Editor in any of these Battlesets (or any Battleset for that matter), my unit doesn't appear under available units. Since I can see it under all units in any regular scenario, I know it's in there somewhere. What am I missing here? Thanx: Tom

Must a helicopter equipped with Dipping Sonar hover in order to effectively utilize this piece of gear? Must it be a Low Altitude or VLow? Thanks,
