Well, hello, again! :) Is this post related to the other post I responded to?

There is no special .pdb file you install that gives you the ability to play user created missions. It's built in to Warfare Incorporated 1.2.

Are you playing the demo, maybe? You have to buy the full version to play custom games.

Well what you need to do is
1. make sure that your copy of Warfare Incorperated is registered, otherwise you can't play any of the user-contributed missions :(

If your copy is, then install some of the missions from the main warfare site http://www.warfareincorporated.com/download.php After you download some by clicking the link on the right side of your screen. By clicking this link your computer should prompt you to save the .pdb or .zip file to your hard drive. Do this and the using the palm "quick install" using hotsync manager, send the .pdb map files to your sony. Finally you should then open Warfare using whatever launcher you have and then click on solo in the welcome screen. Next, click on Play Challenge Mission. You should then see the mission that you downloaded. If this doesn't work, I would suggest using the Mission Manager that came with Warfare to see if your palm is reading the map file as a map.

Hope that this helps :D

What you have to do is install

1. Warfare IncorporatedA.prc - The Warfare Inc. application for Palm OS 5 devices.
OR

2.Warfare Mission Manager.prc - The application that allows you to manage additional Warfare Incorporated missions.

3. Finally, 1 of the data packs according to your palm and sound effects if you want them
-htdata416.pdb - game data for 160x160 grayscale screens
- htdata816.pdb - game data for 160x160 & 160x240 color screens
- htdata824.pdb - game data for 320x320 & 320x480 color screens

To play a mission, first launch the game using whatever launcher you have. This should bring up the main title screen. Next, click on Solo. This sould breing you up a menu of

begin new game- start the story missions over
Play chalange mission- play a downloaded mission
Play story mission- play a particular story mission

FYI- the mission manager is only need to delete mission or to beam the to your friends 8)

Hope that this helps :D

No, only play the story missions agian if you want to . This shouldn't affect the ability to play a user-created mission at all though. Just click on Play Chalenge Mission and it should bring you a screen with all advalible missions. Then just highlight the one that you want to play and click Play
