JTSC Unit Viewer - Spud - 10-08-2015 Guys, Am having trouble getting the JTSCUnitViewer to work in the new Matrix Mid-East Campaign Series game. I open tools folder - where the unit viewer is located - click on the icon - and a window pops-up telling me "path to game not found." I also tried the link that is included in the unit viewer folder - downloaded what was said to the latest version - and the same thing happened - same window - same message. Is there anyway to get this to work, as am working on an oob and would like to see unit descriptions. Am running Windows 8.1. Cheers. Spud. RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Warhorse - 10-09-2015 I know, it works within the game, using F3, but I used to be able to use it outside of the game, now I can'r, don't know what the problem is. I've put in my settings and everything, it will work to a version of it in another harddrive, but the path I want to use it for is CSME, no go...Maybe Arkady has a solution, or ideas? RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Crossroads - 10-09-2015 Do you have the correct paths in the settings.txt, found at the /JTCS_UnitViewer folder? When you launch Unit Viewer from in-game, with F3, it launches the viewer with proper parameters in place. However if you launch it from a desktop shortcut, or clicking at the folder, it expects a proper path in the settings.txt. Let me know how it goes. RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Spud - 10-09-2015 I have found a way around the problem - that being to first open a scenario with both sides in manual mode - then open unit viewer and close scenario - leaving the unit viewer open to use with oob creation page. I checked the tools file and found the settings.txt. It said MiddleEast=. Also see you can change the path in the actual viewer itself. However, am rather at a lose as to what 'path' means and how I can adjust it? Thanks. Spud.

Yep, still no go, deleted the EF, WF, RS even, still is all that shows up if I try to open outside the game, I don't get it... It used to work. RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Crossroads - 10-09-2015 Here's my settings: East Front=C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\East Front West Front=C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\West Front Rising Sun=C:\Matrix Games\John Tiller's Campaign Series\Rising Sun Middle East=C:\Matrix Games\Campaign Series Middle East Hope this helps! RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Jim von Krieg - 10-09-2015 I've had this issue every time we had an update from Jason during development. You have to go into the JTCS_UnitViewer folder settings text file and set the pointer to Middle East=c:\Matrix Games\Campaign Series Middle East or if you have your game in a different folder It needs to point to where ever your ME game folder is. Jason always had something screwy and I would have to update it in my settings txt file. I think I was the one that used the JTCS Viewer the most as I used it for the description text for all the units. And I mean "EVERY" unit. LOL... Regards, Jim Mays (von Krieg) CS Legion RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Crossroads - 10-09-2015 Mike I recall you had like really long folder paths to your install. To make sure no typos have you tried to right click the File Explorer path and Copy As A Text to your clipboard, then to paste to settings.txt? RE: JTSC Unit Viewer - Warhorse - 10-10-2015 Thanks very, very much for that very important tip, Petri!! Of all the years I've used a computer, I didn't know of doing that, that was the ticket!!! A space was the culprit, I knew it was going to be something stupid!!
