Reminders for Tony: PE says torpedo acquisition range is in yards, GE thinks it is in DUs, change GE to convert from yards to DUs. done 2008.042 Filter listing of classes in SE by country, see Akula wishlist item #1 http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2088 Make the clock display wider for higher DPI displays, http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1800067 done 2008.040 Consider cdecl calling convention for DLL as more cross-platform compatible than stdcall - considered and they were cdecl anyway, oops! List abandoned 2008/09/20 as I think/hope we'll have a 32-bit SE to put the effort into rather than sink much more time into the 16-bi…

HCE - 2008.038 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Fix bug in fix for 2021 that allowed it to be applied to non-air groups. (thanks Rene) Rene found a problem in my original 2021 fix. It occured when the player is prompted to fire missiles at an enemy now in range (so your plane was intercepting an enemy, when it gets in range, prompt the player to fire missiles). Instead of being prompted to fire missiles, the intercept window was coming up asking to select planes to perform the intercept. Should be fixed now, need verification, as always.

HCE - 2009.008 ============== - Chg:2429 GE Fixed the 10x too large BOL range ring. (thanks Herman) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?showtopic=2471 - Chg:0000 GE Only show BOL range ring as large as BOL capable weapons instead of as large as the longest range ASM/SSM. - Chg:0000 GE Made the BOL range ring yellow like it was meant to be. - Chg:0000 GE Added a Staff Assistant information message when the group has no BOL capable weapons and a BOL attack is attempted. - Chg:0000 GE Don't let weapons launch their own BOL attacks. (thanks Herman) - Chg:0000 GE Fixed inability to retarget a…

HCE - 2011.009 - 2011/09/03 =========================== - Chg:0000 HC20 Enabled Sound Blaster sound in Harpoon 1.54A. (thanks SilentHunter) - Chg:B207 GE Nuclear torpedo impact could crash the game. (thanks Mack) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...amp;showbug=207 I did not include the HC20 fix so unless you hunt it down in SHUK's thread you probably won't be testing that. And the nuke torpedo fix can only be tested in the 2009.??? series but do please note your results here and in the Issue Tracker. If it is fixed in that version then it is fixed in 2011.009.

Now that HCE has been released, I have several under-construction-scenarios on the backburners that are being dusted off and polished up for release. This one, 'Foxes in the Henhouse', is for play by BLUE in the Westpac Battleset. Its an early Cold War era scenario that pits a pair of US Navy Skipjack class SSNs against a trio of Soviet HENS submarines, a Hotel class SSBN, Echo class SSGN and November class SSN (which began deploying in the early 1960s), before they can deploy into their patrol zones. Please take it for a spin and let me know if you have problems, issues, thoughts, opinions, whatever. The scenario is NOT ready for release, so please do not…

Hi all, This is playable as BLUE only. I would highly grateful if someone could take this scenario for a spin and give me some pointers on what could be improved before I release this to the playerbase. This is my first ever new scenario for anything, so the whole theatre of scenario design as a whole is totally new to me so please be gentle I hope this gives you some enjoyment as I did building it!! Cheers FRTITAN.zip

Yesterday i tried out if SAMs with nuke payload work as Nukes (Airbursts) against planegroups. I used the latest Beta. My DB and a small Testscen with 4 ships and lots of planes. the result with the Talos Sams: they achived single hits on single planes but no airburst effect against a whole plane group. nukesams.zip

Now that HCE has been released, I have several under-construction-scenarios on the backburners that are being dusted off and polished up for release. This one, 'Iron Wolf', is for play by BLUE in the EC2003 GIUK Battleset. This one sees the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - all new NATO partners - threatened by Russia and Belarus. Please take it for a spin and let me know if you have problems, issues, thoughts, opinions, whatever. The scenario is NOT ready for release, so please do not distribute it.

Any way to smootout the land graphics in the Unit Window?, looks blockish.

The focus of 2007.015 was the Ship to Ship torpedo firing, specifically . The goal is for it to remember the side and position of last base added, until you exit the base add dialog Please Test: 1. Make sure AI will fire torps against player ships (it will only do this when it cannot fire missiles or guns) 2. Make sure ASuW range ring include dual purpose guns.

Now that HCE has been released, I have several under-construction-scenarios on the backburners that are being dusted off and polished up for release. This one, 'Serhiy's Decision', is for play by BLUE in the EC2003 Battle for the Mediterranean Battleset. This one examines the sudden split of the Black Sea Fleet between the Ukraine and Russia in early 1992, following the dissolution of the USSR. Please take it for a spin and let me know if you have problems, issues, thoughts, opinions, whatever. The scenario is NOT ready for release, so please do not distribute it. serhiy.zip

Been putting the BattleSet Builder through the paces in the last few days (as well as my abillity to build a DB) and came up with this: So far the BSB is working well, haven't found anymore bugs. And I just wanted to share and show what you can do... Noticed the textured water in BSB maps, nice touch.

Question: If you click on a group in the group window and click display in the Report Window, shouldn't you see the indivual units in that group listed?

Hi There are some issues with ths tool. 1. when you include some scens in the Battleset they show up, but when you try to play them you get totally different ones(from they original/replaced bs?) 2. would be nice if there´s a way there´s a way to "remember" former settings (chart and scens)or and "Add" fuction if one want to add new scens to an existing Battleset.

HCE - 2009.009 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Planes already within AAM range will not re-prompt to close to fire. The prompt was errant since they were already in range. Attached is a save of mine HCDB-081124 South Africa battleset. To see the errant behavior load up the save in 2009.008 and ask ANA to attack ZZC. Fire a missile or two at the helicopters in the carrier group and you should get a prompt to close range (something like, Sir, our attack range is 80nm, distance to target 57nm, should we close and attack?). Obviously that is wacky since the Phoenix can be fired, we're already in range. When you load the scen in 2009.009 and t…

HCE - 2011.003 - 2011/04/14 =========================== - Chg:0000 GE Modified -g command line option to accept local player for more than one side. Add the values together for the first digit. 1 - Play as BLUE 2 - Play as RED 4 - Play as GREEN ex. "winharp32.exe -g 111111003" means play Blue side ex. "winharp32.exe -g 211111003" means play Red side ex. "winharp32.exe -g 311111003" means play as Blue and Red ex. "winharp32.exe -g 711111003" play as Blue, Red, Green Hint, use with launcher 2011.003 or newer! That new launcher wil…

Need your help narrowing down the problem described by Krasny, so far I cannot replicate in 2007.000 or the latest beta. http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1622196 I've also attached his save to this thread. Krasny2.zip

HCE - 2009.043 - 2009/09/04 =========================== - Chg:B129 GE In prior builds once missiles were already on the way to a target, the player wouldn't be prompted to fire more missiles even if units within striking range had available weapons. That functionality existed to prevent inundating the player with requests to fire weapons before previously launched attacks were resolved. This proved confusing. Now that behavior will only remain in force for anti-air attacks. (thanks COBLU) http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a…

HCE - 2009.028 ============== - Chg:0000 GE Similar changes to eff115 except for sonar this time. There will be no suggestion to turn on active sonars until an approaching torp/sub/ship is detected within active sonar range. For incoming torps, the range is always the max active sonar range, for ships and subs there is a random factor. (thanks Brad) - Chg:B109 GE Removed BOL ASM/SSM PH modifiers since the related data fields are also used for other purposes. We also have no idea in more recent battlesets (since EC2000) whether the Red side is …

OK, got a new computer with windows 7. Will I need to do anything to HCE other than re-install it on the new box, or are there any compatibility problems with HCE and windows 7. My experience with 64 bit systems is nil, so keep that in mind. If you are curious... Intel i7 Core 930 12 GB DDR 1600 RAM GeForce GTS 250 Video 1 TB HD I bought a full out gaming rig. It's working great so far. I dont' forsee having to upgrade for a while, and even if I do, the RAM is expandable up to 24 GB. I LOATHED Windows Vista...Windows 7 I'm finding myself content enough with however, pleasant surprise TBH.
