[RESOLVED] Pictures on Top Right of Screen

Post by Rekm41 »

Forgive me if this is an obvious thing to do but how do you get them to show up there. I have the latest DB and descriptions installed from WarfareSims website.

Here is the path I have C:\Matrix Games\Command Wargame of the Year Edition\DB\Images\DB3000 also there is a CWDB folder as well.

And descriptions are here C:\Matrix Games\Command Wargame of the Year Edition\DB\Descriptions\DB3000
Thanks

Are you getting the images and description files in the Database Viewer, or is it simply you aren't getting the image on the upper right hand of the main screen, as is shown below:


If it you are seeing the images and descriptions in the database viewer, but not on the main screen, it could be several issues:
1) You don't have the latest update. The main screen image feature was (I believe) not part of the original release, but added in an update
2) There may not be a image for that weapon/ship/unit. A number of platforms don't have images yet
3) Possibly the unit isn't selected on the map. Make sure the unit is actually selected (ie, its name appears on the map. In the image I've attached, I've selected the USS HALSEY on the map, and it's image appears in the upper right corner of the screen.

Also make sure you can see images in the database viewer. Not all units have images.

How about trying a little self-help here. There are only 10 options. Only one has the word image in it. Even if the map display tab confuses you, it's pretty obvious which option it is.

If you can't figure it out at this point, you're playing the wrong game.

This is possibly a dumb question. Do you have the CWDB photos in the CWDB database folder and the DB3000 photos in the DB3000 folder? Your original email indicates you do, but I wanted to confirm this. If so, are you seeing images when you call up the database viewer from the menu? For instance, when I call up the Box Spring radar in the database, I should get two photos and a description text. Are you seeing something similar?

I do now... I looked at the path for the images and realized they were in the wrong folder. The descriptions were correct.

Thanks to all for your help.. Feeling duh... :)
