JTSC Unit Viewer
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
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
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
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.

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
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
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...

RE: JTSC Unit Viewer
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?
