May 29, 201114 yr Greetings All, I just wanted to make everyone aware of an issue that may arise when creating new Battlesets for ANW. The Battleset name field is restricted to 25 character spaces. Exceeding this limit will cause both a corrupted display in the Scenario editor and a crash/freeze when attempting to make use of the editor's Batch Rebuild feature. I've attached a screenshot that, displays the Battleset name field in the BattlesetCreator.exe notated to illustrate the issue. Letters, numbers, symbols and spaces all count toward the 25 character limit. Please beware of this issue as Both Ralf and I have gone through enough hair pulling and gnashing of teeth for everybody. Cheers Darren
May 29, 201114 yr I can't find BattlesetCreator.exe anywhere in my installation. Am I missing some files here? Buddha
May 29, 201114 yr Author I can't find BattlesetCreator.exe anywhere in my installation. Am I missing some files here? Buddha Buddha, You're not missing anything from your installation. The file is a third party created program designed to allow for the creation of Harpoon 2 and 3 Battlesets. I believe it was designed by Jan-Paul Koster, who also designed the H3 ANW Launcher. I would have received the file somewhere around 5 or more years ago. I'll contact Jan-Paul and once I receive permission I'll make it available for everyone. Since Ralf and myself have it, I didn't realise other's may not and with the recent increased ANW activity here and Ralf and I running into this issue I just wanted to make people aware of this. Cheers Darren

Cheers Darren Darren, Thanx for that. I wasn't playing H3 5 years ago, so I probably never knew the file existed until now. I use the launcher all the time, and if this one's even half as good, I'd like to have it if I can. Thanx, Buddha

I use the launcher all the time, and if this one's even half as good, I'd like to have it if I can. Thanx, Buddha Buddha, I've received permission and Jan-Paul Köster has granted me the rights to distribute the program with one condition. It is not to be used in the construction of Battlesets using the PDB. I ask everyone to abide by this condition since Jan-Paul was gracious enough to allow for its distribution. The file is available in the Downloads section of Harpgamer. Cheers Darren

Cheers Darren The file is available in the Downloads section of Harpgamer. Thanx for that. I really don't understand the whole Players DB thing, but will abide by the author's wishes on that one.

May 30, 201114 yr Author The file is available in the Downloads section of Harpgamer. Thanx for that. I really don't understand the whole Players DB thing, but will abide by the author's wishes on that one. Buddha Buddha, Without digging up what I hope remains ancient history. Jan-Paul had a close association with the folks at HHQ, and they have well founded issues with the Editor of the PDB. I also have issues with that individual and his methods of operation. Brad Leyte (CV32), co-owner of Harpgamer has made this forum's attitude clear for everyone to understand, regarding the attitude to the PDB here: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?s...ost&p=28865 Jan-Paul Köster has passed the rights to the BattlesetCreator to me, with the only condition being the PDB restriction. I am simply respecting his wishes. Cheers Darren

May 31, 201114 yr I wrote an alternative one too. The main difference is that mine will include any scenarios in subdirectories as well if desired. I don't recall why it was submitted by Herman but I am the author. http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...mp;showfile=308

I saw the person posting it and decided against it. Cheers Darren
