Aftering finishing betaing TFW, I dusted off my copy of ATF and reloaded it. Upgraded it to v. 1.05. Here's my question. I've tried to import some of the modified databases. But ATF does seem to recgonize the database modifications when I import it or it wants to save it. I'm lost anyone help me, Please

Sorry for the problems.

Can you tell me the exact steps you are using and the results you are seeing?

No need to be sorry Pat. Its been at least a year or two since I've last time I even had ATF on my computer. I'm sure its more that I forgot the correct steps in loading a modified database. I'll try and recreate it and record what I did. Notsure if I can capture any screen shots, but I'll try.

Pat,

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem I was asking help for. Thanks anyways for the offer to help. I have another inquiry/issue to ask you. However, I'm going to email you it.

Sounds like you might be doing some MODding. I hope you will upload the fruit of your labor to the mod forum so we can take a crack at it.

Yes, I'm trying some MODing. Though not much like what most people would expect from an Armor based wargame.

My intent is to recreate an actual Heavy-Light Attack of Death Valley. Back in approx 1998, I was attached to the Tarantula OC Black Team, working in the Starwar building. It was an Infantry Battalion (light) from 7 IDL attached to 1 Bde, 5 Inf. Their mission was to infiltrate and attack, NET 0330 destroy or force back the notherb CRP and then breach the obsticles with 4 lanes, hold NLT 0630 until the heavies showed up. Without any additional support!

Short story short, the 7IDL Bn not only completed its entire mission, but did it within the first hour. THEY KICKED BUTT!! Sorry, had to say that, I spent more then 10 years with the 7IDL; so I'm alittle biased. They destroyed nearly 50% of the CRP and had forced all OPFOR units back at least 3Ks. Sad part was the Light had no commo back to BDE, due to the BDE Cdr restrictions of support such as relay stations, etc. So, the heavies LD on time, the OPFOR regrouped and forced the Bn (L) to wothdraw and closed up all breaches. The heavies got their heads handed to them on a silver platter.

Oh, trying to create a 81mm mortar plt. Having a little problem and creating them to work right. I created the guns and platoon, but I can't seem to get them to be able to do any fire missions. How can I fix this?

Thanks ahead of time. An sorry I'm a little long winded.
