Database Design & Discussion

I've a problem with the new DB, when i import it, even with a fresh new install, in the PE editor REV.2003.16b5, it prompt an error "Execution error 3061, not parameters enough, 1 waited". When in chosse "end" ("FIn" in french version), it seems to freeze (waited 35 minutes). What is it and what can i do to resolve it? Thx

Who can help narrow down the issue GKM is seeing? http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?/tracker/issue-144-platform-annex-mount-annex/

Greetings, Is the SKRUNDA (AR SWATH) PB for Latvia, part of the HUCE DB? Two of four units have been delivered as of 2012 and I was wanting to utilize it, in a planned scenario in my BRICS campaign. If you need details on the class, let me know and I can provide them.

Played the NACV scenario #15 "Retreat". The Soviet unit CVHG Baku has mount/weapon mismatch. The SA-N-9 launchers has been given SS-N-9 Siren anti-ship missiles. Edit - Also the Badger-J doesn't have any jammers in it's loadout (like how the EA-6B has them). So it becomes useless for anything except providing a surface search radar backup to the Bear D. And the Nimrod ASW plane having sidewinders is making the AI use it for intercepting air units even though it's the ASW loadout. It's going for them even if that air unit is a 12 plane squadron of Flankers. They're probably better off with those removed from the ASW loadout.

I'm probably going to regret this, but... Is there a way of creating a scenario-specific database in the EC2003 battleset? Here's the short version. There's a HDSIII IOPG user scenario called "Sea Orbit '65" involving the CVN Enterprise's nuclear task force back in the 60's. Because of the limitations of this battleset, there are no carrier-based F4s or A4s available, nor is the SSN Triton. What I would like to do is create a 1965 database of the appropriatly armed USN ships and aircraft, and some slightly over-the-top units belonging to SMERSH or SPECTRE or even Dr. Evil's minions. The end result would be a small database of maybe couple dozen ships, subs and airc…

I have a few platforms I've constructed from scratch based on information I have been able to gather, the most complex one being the USS Midway. Whenever a DB update comes out and I install it, my platforms go away and I need to redo them from scratch. Is there some easier, less time consuming way to do this? Thanx;

Hi, I've newly bought HCE, having previously owned HC97, so the Platform Editor is new to me (I'm also not really familiar with Microsoft Access so this may be a simple problem). I have opened the pfbuild2005 file and created several new installations. I exported the database and opened the scenario editor (with PE now closed). However, only one of my new airbases was visible in the 'create new base' menu. I'm not sure why this is. I deleted my new ones and started again, with a similar result (but this time only two new bases visible). Any ideas? All help is appreciated, thanks.

HI , i m new , excuse me if the question has been asked before , i looked at several pages and did not find it. is there a place where we can find images for the HCWW Database units ? Thank you ! (I M SORRY I AM TALKING ABOUT WW2 (HCWW) , not HCCW as my title mentions. i made a mistake in the title)

Brad, Thanks for the newest version of the HCDB. Quick questions and requests (for the next version)... As far as I can tell, the F-35 JSF cannot attack ships. All of its strike loadouts are for land targets (some of them say SURF in the scenario editor but when I play the test scenario they switch over to LAND). Is this correct? Can you add the Spanish S-80 class submarines? (listed on the HazeGray site) Can you add the Mi-8 helicopter (carries troops and can be armed with rockets, etc.)...used by many armed forces around the world see http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/mi-8.htm Since you've added the British CVs, could you add a C…

Hello all I'm a newbie at editing Harpoon CE, so far I've succeeded in putting new graphics, add new ship class, a new plane type and stuff like that. The problem is when I try to add a new weapon, in this case the AA-3 anab for my new entry, the Su-15 flagon F, even if I add it in the DB and I create a new loadout entry accordingly, when I go ind the SE, the loadout entry appears but not the missiles associate with it. When I try to set up entry in the weapons tab of the PE, I let it generate the ID number, but nothing work. whay am I doing wrong ?

File Name: HC_80to95_DB File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 21 Mar 2008 File Updated: 31 Dec 2010 File Category: Databases Authors: René Haar Game Version: HCE Tis is the former EURO_DB. The DB is no longer focused on GIUK/Atlantique Ocean/Mediteranean only, it covers the whole World except the Westpac Area due to Space Limitations (County Names). It is a worldwide DB for the period from around 1980-1995. The main difference to the in Game db is the changed philosophy for base structure. All long range weapons (SAM/SSM) are removed from Harbours/Airbases. So a Scen-Writer has to add mobile Units to replace the SAMs with improved design posibiliti…

Scenario Editor/EC2003/GUIK/Groups/Platform Display Selecteding UK CVH Hermes, CVH Hermes (Falkland), CVH Invincable, CVH Invincable (Falklands) = "error in ReadRescourceHeader () - probably a corrupted .RES/.RSR file" clicking OK = CTD various other platforms display properly this is true of both the 19 May and the 30 May versions I also reDLed to check also the RU Kirov I unzipped the download and overwrote the commondb.res file, is there a different way I should be installing? I would be sure of that, except other platforms show up just fine.

Anyone have a credible source for reload time for the RIM-8 Talos missile from the Mk 7 GMLS?

If I wanted to have multiple databases, how would I go about doing it. For example; I want a separate database for each of the battlesets, including the new battlesets like the South Atlantic. How would I go about creating said databases and then integrating them into the game without screwing anything up? This would allow me to add installations and additional ship/aircraft/weapon platforms for different time periods. I am concerned that there aren't enough slots left in the current database to do this. Any help would be appreciated. If the topic has already been raised, please send me to the correct posting.

Chatting on IRC yesterday, I was told that the maximum number of installations is 2067. This leads me to wonder what the maximum number of installations is for the other categories might be. If it is listed somewhere, just point me in the right direction. Akmatov

AFAIK, at this time, loadouts designed for HC are issued from H4 forms or designed by DB... designer. AFAIK again, there aren't fixed rules about designing, at least, about range and DATA determination. If AFAIDK, there are rulles, the following wouldn't be usefull at all, but, please, let me thrust that the time i took to design it isn't wasted for nothing. What i suggest it to determine fixed multipliers that will influence DATA and range based on real life values and H4 rules. So i took the "Performance effects for Turbofans and Turbojets at cruise" issued in the rules book and adapted it. Here is what it gives: % of Max Payload Carried | Range/DATA…

Brad, just working on two new HCE scens, one using the HCDB. Browsing through the units I stumbled over the SU-33. There is a loadout where it carries 14 misslies - 12 Adder and 2 Archer. I knew that this bird can carry a large load, but thought the limit is 10 missiles. Have I missed something? Regards, Ralf

Will changing the Type of a ship in the database (in this class INTL Sonya MCM was listed as FF in the database) have an effect on scenarios using that ship other than correctly identifying the type of ship? My concern is that scenarios that use the ship would change, perhaps not correctly including that ship or some other problem (instead of just correctly identifying it). As mentioned earlier, I am new to this, but I am working on adding all of the navies of the Americas as well as updating other fleets (names and omitted classes), at least to Jane's 2004-2005 standard (latest I have).

Is it possible to model suicide boats in HCCE? Essentially a platform that delivers a short range, high damage attack and then sinks. Both Al Qeda and the Tamil Tigers have used this strategy navally. Could it work?

I didn't dig too deeply into it but I couldn't load Australian Seahawks or Seasprites onto the ANZAC or OHP frigates. Is the size set too large?
