Hi Folks, Just figured I'd share what is probably several hundred hours work... It's an optional add on to CV-60's mega pack... While he did me a favor and included a copy of an early version of my work with his latest update - I've added hundreds of records updates since then... I'd just assume share them while I'm still motivated to continue work... I would suggest downloading/installing CV-60's mega pack first before trying my work... As for my work - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. SCO Database Description and Image Optional Addendum I've searched long and hard to find the best possible images for each class of platform... I prefer my DB records with just a single image so I remove all thumbnails associated with the records I update... All my images are sized to 1024 pixels wide and I try to get close to 500 pixels - or less - high... I've processed them for clarity, color, and size... All my "Descriptions" are tagged with an [SCO] on the bottom line - so if something needs correction - please let me know... My primary source for information is Wikipedia... I've included a single file installer for ease of installation - just download and execute... Please READ the directions included with the installer - as I went to great lengths to include them... On Windows 7 machines - it should pull the required path from your registry... If the path remains blank - just select the path to your Command's "root" directory... For example: "C:\Matrix Games\Command Modern Air Naval Operations"... The installer will create a directory in your DB directory called "SCO-DBupdate"... Once complete - if satisfied - you can delete the entire "SCO-DBupdate" directory... For every record I update - I do save all the original files in two directories: Command Modern Air Naval Operations\DB\SCO-DBupdate\CWDB_SAV Command Modern Air Naval Operations\DB\SCO-DBupdate\DB3000_SAV If you don't like my changes - you can just copy the contents of these two directories back into their proper locations - OR - just reinstall CV-60's original pack... The full list of records updated will be presented when the installer terminates... The list is available after that in: Command Modern Air Naval Operations\DB\SCO-DBupdate\Platform_Upd.txt DOWNLOAD http://www.mediafire.com/download/mgyq2iw6ah897xa/SCO-DesImgAdd1620.exe Regards, Scott

Hi Folks, Thanks... Glad it's working out... Any issue with the installer ??? Regards, Scott

Hey Scott, Is this update more recent than the one you sent me a couple weeks ago?

scottb613 -> RE: SCO Database Description and Image Optional Addendum (11/2/2014 7:08:26 PM)
Hi Doug, Yeah - it probably has a bunch more... I came up with a new naming convention - the 1620 in the file name reflects the number of records it updates... I've been adding the platforms in Feltan's "African Skies" lately... Regards, Scott

Hi... I'm not sure why you are getting the notifications - maybe the security settings or just the fact the file is an executable ? I use Win 7 and Trend Micro for antivirus and it didn't complain... While I can assure you there is no deliberate attempt to include anything that would present a problem - I can't guarantee any inadvertent problems - hence my disclaimer... I'm an IT guy by trade though and I take all the reasonable precautions - I did scan the file before uploading... Thanks for the heads up... [:)] Regards, Scott

Hi Scott, minor issue noticed here: [image]http://i.gyazo.com/43fb12a40f50719de845b873b38465b3.png[/image] Looks like an ID mismatch. Great work though!

Hi Jan, Hah - must have been a late night when I did the Hawks... I'll fix it... The record number helps... Regards, Scott

scottb613 -> RE: SCO Database Description and Image Optional Addendum (11/6/2014 11:39:54 AM)
Hi Folks, As a couple of you have mentioned it seems as if I went a little crazy with the Hawk missles... I looked at this last night and I found the error of my ways... I had erroneously labeled some Hawk records as a "Weapon" when it should have been a "Facility" - I'm not exactly sure why surface to air missle systems appear in both catagories... Unfortunately - the problem is two fold - as Steve (CV-60) used my descriptions in his package... So while I can fix the descriptions/images that are in error in my package - if you load Steve's package - the descriptions will still be present... I'll contact Steve - let him know and see how he wants to handle it... The records I am aware of being in error follow - actually this is the contents of a batch file I wrote to remove them... I'll post any updates here... If you notice any additional errors - besides the ones listed below - please let me know... erase /Q .\Weapon_715.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_671.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_675.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_683.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_704.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_691.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_658.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_686.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_711.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_699.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_718.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_708.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_716.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_65.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_657.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_2237.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_789.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_790.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_494.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_674.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_679.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_684.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_705.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_692.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_688.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_817.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_701.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_747.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_806.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_734.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_93.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_463.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_706.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_703.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_788.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_739.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_672.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_681.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_750.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_685.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_697.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_800.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_690.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_742.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_745.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_794.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_749.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_815.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_738.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_466.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_659.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_719.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_793.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_669.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_740.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_710.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_743.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_797.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_733.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_805.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_802.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_660.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_668.txt erase /Q .\Weapon_608.txt Regards, Scott
