Fender ,
Did you get that error after a completly
new instal of CCV (no new maps or old files/folders of any kind remaining and after using win explorer to make sure no folders were left whatsoever in your hard drive)
> then fresh patch install directed to hard drive and installed to CCV when it says choose directory>
>then adding new maps to new created map folder
> uncheck read only
> all new config manager - just Meuse installed > play?


Senior Drill thanks for the walk through on the registry edit I have always been intimidated by mucking around in there after I learned a previous lesson (or 6 ) the hard way b4 system restore days

Yes i have!!!

I've done it all, over and over again. But it still wont work. It's as if the install.txt file isnt quite right, I don't no....

So I've given up trying to play, what I've heard, the fantastic mod Meuse.

fenderbender,

That error can only occur for 1 of 2 possible reasons;

1) the filename GENames.txt does not exist in the configuration manager "System\Packages\Meuse_v33_Full" directory

2) the filename GENames.txt is in the destination directory

For #1 the configuration has on occasion not properly unpacked a .pln file. So as Senior stated check and make sure you have all the files in the configuration manager "System\Packages\Meuse_v33_Full" directory. The plugin files are just renamed zip files and can be opened after you rename them to .zip.

For #2 if the filename already or still exists it means the configuration manager did not rename the original file to the .pkp backup copy. This could happen if the .pkp file exists already.

Just to be safe make sure you have version 1.3 of the Configuration manager.

Also make sure if you get an error during an install or uninstall that you reinstall CC5 completely as it will almost always result in an error running the Configuration manager again and you'll be lucky if Close Combat runs.

Senior Drill,

I notice you have a configuration manager for RTB and CCM, I don't remember anyone posting a note about those being available for download???

I've checked out the install.txt file in the Meuse package file, and it's as if it is not complete. I added a command to get the config manager to copy the dll file. And then it worked properly, but then the problem with genames started....

Look at this...



Are the lines by the arrows supposed to be emty?????

When i added the lina as followed the install worked, but then it stacked up with the genames file....

fenderbender,

Based on your picture and you saying that adding the copy to filename fixed CCResourceDLL.DLL I would edit the install.txt and uninstal.txt to have the destination filenames.

I don't know why your system must have the destination filename as Meuse v3.2 was downloaded over 3100 times and v3.3 over 500 time from CSO alone and nobody has posted on this problem....

Yeah. I was wondering if anyone would notice. They are just small hacks of CfgIV and CfgV13 that I made a few months ago. I didn't feel comfortable with posting them as they are hacks of Zeppo9's work. I did share them with a few people and schrecken has now posted the one for CCM. Since that is now outed, I put the one for RtB up in the same thread at CSO. It and the whys and wherefores are in this thread: http://www.closecombat.org/forums/showpost.php?p=47248&postcount=5.

I'm still not comfortable with modifing someone elses intellectual property without their permission, but maybe now Zeppo9 will learn of these two configuration managers and come back with real versions. I certainly hope so and publicly apologize for hacking his works, but several people have tried to contact him in the past couple of months about this to no avail.

Personally I see nothing wrong with what you've done. You're not doing it for any personal financial gain and you've given full credit to the original maker. After all, we dont ask KZ for permission before creating a new mod do we?

I say "Good Job"

Uhmm. Yeah. Nobody asked KZ, but the accepted Code of modders is to ask other modders to use their work, or at least acknowledge it.

I am also not very satisfied with the Config Mgr for CCM. It is based on the CC4 version because the registry entry for CCM is 4 bytes too long to fit in the space available in the CC5 version. Adding the 4 extra bytes shifts the offsets for everything below that point and causes it to crash.

Therefore the Config Mgr for CCM does not have the map renaming feature that CC5 does. Renaming the map files in CCM is a very important feature due to the size of the files. Plugins for CCM will be much smaller and quicker to install if we don't have to mess with transfering map files between folders.

If someone knows how to insert new functions into assembled code, then there may be a way to get the CC5 version to work for CCM.

At the point in the program where it does a CALL (I think, but don't know if that is right) to the text of the CCM registry, instead of the text, it is instructed to look at an offset farther down (another CALL?) in an area that has several blank lines. Here it would find the text, complete the instruction and return to complete the program.

Or something like that.
