ElBando Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hi, this is my first post. Can anyone tell me where I can download user submitted maps ( single player missions ) that I can use to practice the game? Simple missions, arcade style, like in Steel Beasts " Instant Action " and the likes. Also any other links with mods, etc. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Check out the Downloads section under Single Player Missions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBando Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Andym, thanks for the help. I looked all over ( I thought ) glad you pointed this out for me. Those Single player downloads are just what I want. I downloaded the zip file "Battle for 1KM" patch and installed it in my SteelBeasts folder as directed. It does show up on my missions window but will not open, says " error ". I did what the install "read me" says ( I think ). I pasted the zip folder in my Steel Beasts program folder, then extracted it. Is there anything you can tell me that I might be doing wrong. I am not an expert on this however I have downloaded many user submitted maps in other PC games and have never had a problem. Thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Sean Posted January 4, 2010 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2010 You won't be able to run any of the new scenarios, and the FAQs about where to put them won't apply. If I recall correctly, in SB1 everything is stored under the program files / esimgames / steelbeasts area somewhere? Have a look under here for SB1 missions: http://www.steelbeasts.com/Downloads/p13_sectionid/4Even then, your SB1 version is obsolete. If you go to the esim website you can find the older versions there. Upgrade to the latest 1.xxx version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 After thinking about my old SB game, maybe I should upgrade, get a new one. What is the latest that you recommend?Welcome to the forum and Happy New Year, now back on topic.If you want to stay at the earlier SB ver 1.x standard, then 1.95.If you want to spend a fair bit of money, then the current one is SB Pro PE 2.483, but it isn't a patch / upgrade to your old 1.x version, its a whole new product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElBando Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Gibsonm, thanks again for the help. I am slowly finding out how to use all the valuable resources that this forum has to offer. I am coming around and in the future I won't be so dependent on everyone for any little bit of info that I need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GH_Lieste Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 While those specifications are correct for the current version, additional features have been pushing the minimum usable a little higher and it is reasonable to expect this to continue.My machine is around 6 years old now and I only need to choose lower graphics options in complex scenarios with large unit counts and relatively intricate terrain. This can be accomplished 'on-the-fly' from within the real-time engine and can be raised once the situation is simplified slightly by casualties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yes I'd agree that these specs are now really "minimum, but not ideal".Certainly I'd be checking your machine against the "preferred" entries (the ones in these type of brackets) as a base line.If you are going to buy a "new" machine though I think even a basic "new" one comes with better specs than that.If you are thinking of a laptop, make sure you aren't getting one where the graphics chip "shares" the memory with the CPU, and the graphics card has to support 3D. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 A lot will also depend on the desired screen resolution which - ideally - will match the native resolution of the moditor (if you're not using a CRT). With a big LCD monitor you may want to go for a higher end graphics card so you can run SB Pro with good frame rates in high resolution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
