Hi All Its been a large number of years but I have started playing CMBN again, but with my new system I still see that the graphics scale down about 100m away from your point of view. Is there a way of preventing this or is it engine limted? I tried serching but for some reason it didnt apear to find anything. My appologies if this has ( and I'm sure it has) been discussed at length previously. Pud

Wow, this is enough to make me give CMBN another go.

Flanker15 - Thanks mate. Fuser, is that your mod? I like it. Is it available?

That's weird, I tried that by placing a big black dot on all tree bmps in the foliage directory and moved them to Z, then loaded up game this is what happens. At a distance they all had black dots but as I moved the view closer, a more "high res" tree replaces them. See the trees in the back with the black dots. Once I move closer a higher res version is apparently used, note no dot now, so the close ones must be located someplace else. Or am I missing something?

Has anyone worked out how to mod trees yet. I was thinking they are a bit wishy washy in colour for my taste, but for the life of me I unable to locate the correct bmps. Poke me in the eye and call me blind but I exploded the brz files found everything else, even the bmp for trees at a distance but nothing else. Am I right in assuming their are located in the mdr file (within the folliage directories) if so are they then moddable at all? I see the transparency is handled totally differently from the old CMx1 which I was used to. Yes I just bought the game on weekend and started digging around Looks like a learning curve is ahead of me.

They are also why I was concerned about my video card/PC setup going by my initial view at game setup, many thanks

I didn't go any further as I was expecting something similar to the old CM games where the setup map was identical to the actual playing map so I certainly wasn't expecting any colour changes once you start also the colours were frying my brain I couldn't risk causing permanent damage! Thanks for the quick response anyway guys.

Gday all Back from the dead again and I'm looking at buying the game, however this is what the demo looks like to me on the high settings. The colours are absolutely horrible! I'm concerned that my PC isn't capable of running this game as it should be seen and if that's the case I wont be purchasing it, on the other hand I am hoping its just the demo which looked like this for everyone. I am sure this has been asked before but couldn't think of the correct search to my question. I also wanted to just greet everyone again anyway from down under. Bruce (aka Pud)

I will have to get myself a bucket, my drooling is getting a tad heavy and out of control. Normandy, Market Garden.... Pud

Ahhh thank goodness for web caching sites, managed to track down the file from a 2005 cache. Bruce (aka Pud)

Hi All Its been a long long time but I have reinstalled CMBB. Alas most of my files/mods/maps etc are gone, even from my website a lot of files are now missing. I was hoping someone out (old timers) there has retained one of my old maps for CMBB "Four-bridges". If you have I would love a copy again of it. This feels like when you attend a school reunion Thanks Bruce (aka Pud)

hahaha thanks Paul and MeatEtr, yes been a hard last few years for myself. I havent had time for much but seeing TOW is coming out, somehow I will find time to have a game or 30 I will have to do something new for the site one day.

Wow, i have been gone for 2 years, I come back and find BF.com have taken on Wartime command, holy crap!! Its not christmas is it, i had given WC up for lost. I really need to come back more frequently!

You may need to up the dosage of your Ritalin medication CommonSense.

Thanks J2D.

Since my site hasn't been visited much lately I thought I better "announce" this. Its a blank map so anyone care to make it into a scenario, be my guest. Its primarily a ME type map by design.

My two sons (9 and 11) occasionally play but they do play it just to see tanks explode. "Here son.....buy shermans" I expect they will grow and come to like playing it for other aspects. I think the main problem is they do have Play Station's etc and dont have to rely on fun from more passive, thinking entertainment like board games and minatures like I had when I was a kid.

DOH!

Hi all Do aircraft only appear in the first battle (like TRP's) or do they return each battle until destroyed? The search didnt bring me any answer. Cant locate manual (just incase it was in there )

Hi all Would you have a link to Mapping Mission? Thanks

Im always after good , well done interesting maps. Perhaps people could post links to their all time favourite map?

Do order it from BFC website, this time of year might take a little longer to arrive. Mine took only 5 days to arrive. Will be worth it as you will regret gettng the European version with its stupid copy protection and censorship crap.

hahahaha my money is on FINN

DOH! Thanks guys I was looking under "W" Found it, started a game with a mate. be interesting...

Hiya Junk, a mate of mine is playing this in the CMBO version and it looks good, were do I find the cmak version! I had a look on Scenarios Dep and it appears to not be there.
