single player MMCC3 trouble - 6/25/2011 7:06:44 AM

Status: offline 		I thought I'd attempt to play the single player MMCC3 campaign on cross of Iron as i like the idea of having a strategic map in the game. I've managed to get the multiplayer campaign going (sort of) but when i open the single player MMCC3 exe i don't know how to start a battle. I can get the server screen/map up as pictured on page 14 of the MMCCIII pdf but theres no tcp address part showing. I can scroll around the map and select the stars and crosses but theres no attack sector window anywhere (same as the pic), so how do i do it ? I've tried double clicking on the stars but nothing happens.
I have many other questions regarding this app
How can get back to the "choose side & name screen" to start again ?
What does timeout in the options screen do ?
Can i play operation mars and bloody omaha as single player ?
Any help on these would be much appreciated but right now I'd settle for kicking off the campaign somehow. I run on vista and have set all executables to run as administrator.

2. Run the single player client... Input the port

4. Op mars and BO - yes but only if you create your own server

Status: offline 		Hey i really appreciate the quick reply but i don't understand "run the server/ client " whatever, I'm not sure which is which. I need clear instructions when it comes to programs. I'll tell you what I'm doing and it would be great if you could tell me where I'm going wrong.
I open start menu/programs/CC Cross of Iron, and then open the MMCC3 single player server and that brings up the screen, Pretty much the instructions in the manual. Just below the map theres a line that says "server TCP port : 49176", What do i do from there ?
thanks again

Status: offline 		oh, OK

MMCC# was designed to be a multiplayer app.

But a single player version is thrown in... but requires a bit more work.

using windows explorer navigate to


C:\Program Files\Close Combat\Close Combat III\Server\Server.exe

double click on server


see the port number.

Now run MMCC3 from the menu

that should work

Status: offline 		sorry its not working. If i attempt to open MC3 from the game menu and use the port number from the single player server i get a message saying "failed to open connection to server, java.net no route to host exception, operation timed out. with about 10 lines below that.

Status: offline 		i run vista, as mentioned in my first post. i have noticed the message on the game menu saying XP only but i managed to get battles working fine on the multiplayer server when i install the mod swap file, so i figured (and possibly quite wrongly) that i could get the singleplayer campaign running fine too.

Status: offline 		has "server.exe" been allowed through your firewall?

also try running in compatibility mode as well as as you have administrator.

the only other thing i can think of is to run the java installer (in compatibility and as administrator)

C:\Program Files\Close Combat\Close Combat III\Support\msjavwu.exe


you may get incompatibilty messages but you can ignore them

Status: offline 		No luck with anything on either count so far. I can get mars op working fine through multiplayer but the 41 campaign has no battlegroups (just russian flags everywhere) and so far i cant even start single player. Any idea on how i would change sides or my name if i wanted to. Everytime i open the server i go straght to the port screen.

Status: offline 		Hello tried a fresh reinstall and set every exe i could find to administrator and finally got it working. Played my first battle as axis this morning and easily won with 500 + spending points and a full compliment.
Thanks again for the prompt support, much appreciated.
