Question Regarding Scenhack Program

[Mobhack]

It is a simple matter of extracting the database engine DLLs to the same folder as the EXE. Once you do that, everything works fine.

Problem is there are 35 of the little darlings, some may be unnecessary. or all 35 are all entwined incestuously in a cats cradle tangle of interdependencies. I am trying deleting one at a time and seeing if things fall over, but right now it seems like you need all of them, or at least most of the blighters.

I'm just now going through the 35 DLLs deleting one at a time to see if things still work. It'll take a day or two to figure all that out.

Attached is an "interim solution" to this problem .

Extract this to your main game folder......the same one your winSPWW2.exe or winSPMBT.exe is in then run ScenHack and the sort program....remember it takes a minute or so for it to create the tables first time around


Thanks

I need reports from anyone who tries this please

Thanks

Downloaded the BDE file and it worked. Any idea of how many of the .DLL files in the download are needed?

Thanks for this fix!

Also downloaded the BDE and installed it for both WW2 and MBT, Scenhack now works for both.

Seems to work fine! Thank you - this is a really neat feature.

(Tested on MBT only currently)

If you are trying to find scenarios from a specific time period or opponents this will find them for you......and if all you want to do is play a short game.....this will find and list them all in order so conversely if you want a big involved game it will find those for you as well.

Someone asked a year of two back what Market- Garden scenario were in SPWW2..... just look at September 1944 to find them now

Want to find all the scenarios involving the VC ?..... no problem

I've also had the same problem on two different computers, both with Windows 7.

The "interim solution" fixed the problem for both games.

Windows 10, initial patches for MBT and WW2 gives me: Error while attempting to initalize Borland Database Engine (error $2108)

Downloaded BDE that was posted in Page 1, unzipped it to MBT folder; ScenHack appears to work now.
