Editor Error when open BA Metz Fortress

Post by dcoffin »

Pip,

When I tried selecting one of the Metz Fortress Files in Editor when it asks for existing or new and would not let me do it. I tried this with Scenarios 1, 2 and 9.

When tried it with Scenario 1 I get the following errors in popup windows.

ERROR
Failed to find squad type 3INCH_AT_GUN in map file CAMPAIGNS/9Metz/SCENARIOS/Metz1.BAM for UNITTS_0_12
BA:BA.exe Fatal Application Exit
i ***Unhandled Exception! ExpCode: 0x80000003 ExpFlags: 0
ExpAddress: 0x00487790 Please Report!

For Scenarios 2 and 9 get similar except
Popup window that says can not find SDKFZ251_75MMPAK with different UNITTS info, instead of 3INCH_AT_GUN.

Fatal Application Exit error language is same for all three times I tried it.

Any idea of what is happening? Running on Windows 7 Home, 64bit SP1, Intel i3-3217@1.80Ghz, 6.0GB RAM. I just downloaded and installed Metz yesterday. Have played first scenairio before started with editor

Tried to attach a screen shot in both MSWORD and pdf format but did not accept, what type of attachments can I upload from PC - not well versed in public server system issues like that.

Regards

DCoffin

Do you have the Squads.csv file from the original Metz folder in your campaign? It contains data for new units.

How would I determine that? I did not do anything but go to editor campaigns/data which I thought was BA base folder and selected use existing scenario and selected one from the Metz campaign. I would have then saved it as another name once it opened so that I would not mess up base game files.

I have run the two scenairios in Metz and the 3 inch AT shows up there so I guess I have it and does not make sense as to why opening with editor will say it is not there.

The quickest way to open a scenario from one of the expansions in the editor is Editor -> Create Brand New Campaign (map icon) -> Copy Of: -> select campaign. This will copy all of the data from the expansion into the new campaign.
