Theatre Problem

Post by krfrge » 2001-03-18 16:58:00

Can someone help on this.

I have created a Turkey theatre and all associated files. I have Balkans and standard Korea as well. When I go to load up Turkey using the Terrain Switcher, the theatre drop down box shows Turkey but when I select it the TheatreDir remains blank. What am I doing wrong?

I also get Copy\files\CMN_res.lst to d:Microprose\falcon4\art\CMN_res.lst failed! 3

I am lost on that one. Any suggestions?

You should be using F4Patch v3.2 to change theaters, thats the current day procedure.

Its rather complicated for starters, but I can help you out.

Loaded v3.2 and re-installed Balkans and Turkey theatres but still getting the error message. However I can start the TE portion of Falcon and begin to run a simple mission. I can plan the mission, load it, the clock counts down,,,,then nothing.

Snake. I don't know what I did but I finally got a TE mission to somewhat work. I planned a raid on an airfield. Started in-flight flew 300+ miles to the target. Dropped bombs but didn't see the target. Still can't get Tswitch to switch to the Turkey Theatre. Sorry about all these "simple" questions.

Well first you need to really tell me what you did, "loaded up f4p and it dont work" is not enough information.

There are so many things you need to configure with F4Patch Theater installation I dont know where to begin.

I guess the easiest way would be if you send me your theater files (campaign, theater.L2, TE/Campaign map images, new textures etc) and I'll create a installer for you. That way you got everything working on one shot and can study the f4p without hurry.

Let me know.
