I used to play Harpoon back when there was only one or two versions of it, so getting back into it I'm confused about all the versions available and how to work them. I've read thru various items in the FAQ, but either I didn't read the correct ones or I'm just getting senile...very possible.

Anyway, I run HUCE (don't know if that's actually called something else here; I don't see it mentioned much). I just downloaded the "Iran Israel 2010" scenario, and I'm trying to load it. I unpacked it into a seperate folder, and I can see the folder when I try to run "Load User Scenario", but HUCE doesn't see any scenario files there. From the FAQ I know that the "v" in the "SCv" means something, but I'm not sure what.

Could I get some help here?

 

.SCv is the Middle East BattleSet 

You may have also divined that from the area of Downloads where you grabbed the file.  Let us know how you fare!

• Downloads \ Harpoon Classic/HC/HCE/HUCE \ Scenarios  \ Middle East  \ Iran-Israel 2010, Survival of Israel ?

 

It sounds like you have it well in hand but if you need a little detour, long ago I recorded a video of loading a user scenario https://youtu.be/4yHAXxGep6w https://youtu.be/4yHAXxGep6w

 

Thanks.

I'm watching the video you linked to...seems like that scenario needs the HCDB-100528 database, but I don't see that listed in the Database download area. Is this (HCDB2-170909) a newer version? Will it work with this?

How do I get to the Mid East battleset? Do I need to download one of the two Mid East battlesets from the download area? I seem to remember that the original Harpoon came with multiple battlesets... I don't have any options to change battlesets like I seem to remember from the original Harpoon...maybe my installation isn't correct?

Edit:

Never mind. I see that I have to go into the game from the .exe file (to get the battlesets) rather than using the "launcher" program that I've been doing.

 

Great!  The scenario you've chosen should be run with HCDB, not HCDB2.  HCDB is the one that comes with the game so if you are reasonably patched up you already had the correct DB loaded.
