Erik,

It seems to be a Database/Scenario signature mis-match. Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the update's release until the expiry issue raised its head.

I haven't submitted any scenarios or an updated HUD3 to AGSI, although Taitennek's Website is currently hosting an updated HUD3 subsequent to the release of the HUE version of ANW 3.10.0. There's also an issue with the Game Executable files being updated that, as far as I know will require all Scenarios created with previous 3.10.0 to be rebuilt and saved for use with the current 3.10.1 release. Changes to the Game Engine require scenarios to be updated to allow both code fixes and feature updates to be applied.

I am endeavouring to transfer my current Database edits to the master copy of the HUD3 and I will then start the rebuilding process and commence posting the updated scenarios. We also face an issue with players downloading scenarios and a database that, was an intermediate release i.e. between 3.10.0 & 3.10.1 that now means players may have "mixed up" installations where, the signature issue we're seeing presents itself. Put simply this means the Patch may have simply restored an already updated version of the database and/or scenario(s). I'll make you aware that, I did not apply the patch; Russell sent me the new executables only. I'm not sure what was included in the patch beyond the execs and that's the first thing I'll need to know to solve this for everyone ASAP.

PROPOSED SOLUTION:
==================

1.> I will finish transferring my current work to the master copy of the HUD3 as soon as possible.

2.> Once complete, I will rebuild the nine (9) HUD3 tutorials and post both the updated HUD3 and nine scenario HUD3 Tutorial Battleset here on the Matrix HUE Forum as well as Taitennek's HUD3 website.

3.> I don't believe this is an issue that anyone can fix but me . I'd like to ask if I could be provided with a "manifest" of HUD3 related files that, may have been included in the patch? This will help me by allowing me to check the actual scenario files released with ANW HUE that will require me to rebuild and re-release.

Apologies to everyone, unfortunately the expiry issue has some ramifications for some people that, I will attempt to rectify as soon as possible.

Cheers

Darren

Lesson IX
Lesson IX: Underway Replenishment, Boarding, and Take-over

The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize users with the Underway Replenishment, Boarding, and Take-over functions found with Harpoon Ultimate Edition [HUE] 3.10

Since this lesson requires transit between points for the ship under the user's command, it will be necessary for the user to use the time compression feature. Consult the Harpoon II Command Card for the appropriate hot keys used to control time compression. When running this lesson, you should increase the compression of time between contacts to no more than 1 minute of compression. Be prepared to resume 1 second level upon making a contact. If you run this tutorial lesson at a high time compression rate, you may not be able to properly respond to the contacts.

Following this lesson, the user should be able to:

1. Conduct an Underway Replenishment evolution
2. Board and Take control of an enemy vessel
3. Take control of an enemy facility.

This scenario was written for the PlayersDB

Orders for Commander of Good Guys

A. Underway Replenishment evolution
B. Board & Take-over an enemy vessel
C. Take control of an enemy facility

A. Underway Replenishment evolution

Underway Replenishment is an operation conducted between two vessels at sea. It involves the transfer of munitions (bombs, beans, and bullets) as well as fuel. This procedure allows vessels to stay at sea for much longer periods without the need to make port visits in order to replenish their supplies and magazines.

You have been assigned two units in this tutorial: AOR Patino and CVH Principe de Asturias.

1) Conduct Underway Replenishment by selecting the icon for the CVH Principe de Asturias.

2) Click on the Logistics button from the Toolbar. (This is the button that has three missiles shown on it.) The hotkey for the Logistics button is F5.

3) Now, click twice on the ship icon for the AOR Patino.

4) The AI will now plot a path for the CVH to intercept the AOR.

5) Unpause the Tutorial and allow the ships to meet. You may increase the time compression to facilitate this rendezvous.

6) A Reload Weapon Selection window will appear. The Mount List is on the left, the Mount Weapons for any selected mount will appear on the upper right, and the Magazine Weapons available will appear in the lower right.

7) To transfer weapons from the AOR Patino to the CVH, select the "Munitions - General x 0 / 30000" mount.

8) Now select the "1000lb Mk13 Bomb (1) x 0/10000" entry from the Mount Weapons.

9) Select the "1000lb Mk13 Bomb x 400/10000" entry from the Magazine Weapons. There are currently four hundred 1000lb Mk 13 bombs available for transfer to the CVH. Clicking on the entry will automatically allocate one bomb for transfer to the CVH and you can see the number increase by one in the Mount Weapons list.

The "Add Weapon" and "Remove Weapon" buttons will increase or decrease one weapon from the Mount Weapons list, respectively. The "Enter Number of Weapons" button allows the player to specify an exact number of weapons to be transferred.

Allocate fifty 1000lb Mk13 Bombs for transfer from the AOR to the CVH and hit OK.

10) The transfer is now performed automatically. Once complete, a message stating that "CVH Principe de Asturias has no orders" will appear.

11) Double-check the transfer by selecting the CVH icon and hitting the Logistics button (or F5 hotkey) twice. The "Reload Weapon Selection" window will re-appear.



B. Board & Take-over an enemy vessel

This is the process whereby units from one side will attempt to board and seize control of a vessel from another side.

1) Select all four Ref Points named, "Boarding" and create an ASu Area Patrol mission named, "Patrol Boarding". Set the radar for mission emissions to Active.

2) Open the Mission Editor menu window and assign CVH Asturias to the mission.

3) Under the "Base Parameters" pull-down window, select the "PDb-HHH-PatrolBoarding" profile to assign the special parameters to the ASu mission.

4) Unpause the game and increase the time compression to 5 minutes. The CVH will board and take-over the ship found within the RefPts. Once control of the ship is transferred to your side, you can issue orders for it.

5) A message reading, "CVH Principe de Asturias successfully boarded MRCH Ocean Tug" followed by "CVH Principe de Asturias successfully took over MRCH Ocean Tug".

6) Re-start the tutorial and repeat steps B2-B4, except assign the MD 500 Defender MEX 94 helo to the mission in lieu of the CVH Asturias.



C. Take control of an enemy facility

This is the process whereby units from one side will attempt to board and seize control of a land facility from another side.

1) Start the tutorial and select the icon for the C3I (Comm Centre) land facility.

2) Create a Ground Strike mission named, "Strike Takeover".

3) Open the Mission Editor menu window and assign the MD 500 Defender MEX 94 helo to the mission.

4) Under the "Base Parameters" pull-down window, select the "PDb-HHH-StrikeTakeover" profile to assign the special parameters to the Ground Strike mission

5) Unpause the game and set the time compression for 5 minutes.

6) A message of, "Defender MEX 94 successfully boarded C3I ( C3I (Comm Centre)" will appear followed by a message of "Defender MEX 94 successfully took over C3I ( C3I (Comm Centre)" when control is transferred to the player.

Vincenzo,

if you would actually look into the sim, open the scenario editor and compare the scens, you´d know better. If you´d even for one time had compared the PDB with the db2000 in the db editor, you´d known better.

Improving the camouflage when it comes to copying doesn´t change anything, the setups are easy to recognize for anyone who actually looks into the scens and the topics dealed with.

Maybe Matrix will follow Harpgamers example, where they just ended any PDB-related-spam once and for all:
