What and give reason for someone to not check this forum every hour? Blasphemy! Bobo

I looked it up and saw that definition but was confused by the use here. I will just assume it means good! Bobo

What does that mean?

Very well put! I share these opinions. Thanks Cymru! Bobo

I am not sure what is more annoying. The person that is annoyed at BFC, the folks that are annoyed that the poster is annoyed at BFC or the ones that are annoyed at those that are annoyed at the ones that are annoyed at BFC. I think it is time to post about all these annoyances at another website dedicated to playing these games that start the annoying string. It's all very annoying. Whoa! Bobo

[quote name=' Command lines? You mean that feature that came free when they put out CM 15 years ago??? And now we have to pay for it...[/quote'] Where does it say you HAVE to pay for it? You can pay for it if you think the upgrade features are worth $10. See easy peazy... Bobo

No idea. Why are they bashing BFC? Bobo

Stop talking about that when we don't have tank riders in CMBN and CMFI! (full sarcasm)

I was thinking the same thing... Usually that is the case but who wants another game release anyway? Bobo

It's called a search.... took me 30 seconds... See below (why no tank riders in CMFI/GL) 14 years as a customer of BFC and ALWAYS getting things fixed in successive releases and new games in an abandoned genre make me touchy when folks whine... they still whine anyway but I am sick of it. Will CMRT get patched? Yes. Will CMBS come out? Yes. Will there be a $10 Ver 4.0? Yes. Will there be a Bulge module? Yes. When? I don't know and neither does BFC I suspect. Apologize if it comes across as harsh. I would encourage you to read some of the archive threads here and see how BFC has supported these games. Pretty darn well.

Each model plus (IIRC) 2 LODs has to be hand tweaked by a 3D artist, hand coded by Charles, and tested for problems. There are always problems (guys sitting above the deck, into the turret, facing the wrong direction, using the wrong animations, etc.) because placing these hotspots is more art than science. The assuredness that a certain number of hotspots will need some tweak or several means the development cycle is repeated for a subset of the total number of changes. To give you some understanding of the process we go through... From memory there is about 200 vehicle models between CMBN and CMFI. If we figure an average of 10 "hotspots" for soldiers per vehicle (some have more some have less), that's a total of 2000 hotspots that have to be created for the base models, times 3 to include the LODs. That means about 6000 hotspots have to be added, coded, tested, and tweaked before we're done. Knock the workload down by a small bit because there are a few models that are 100% the same between releases or nations (there's still some work to do, just not as much) and exclude the vehicles that don't need the feature at all. Oh, let's say 5000 hotspots. I dunno what each hotspot averages out to in terms of work, but 3 minutes each is probably very conservative. That means the cost of an Upgrade has to cover 250 hours of labor just for this one feature, plus the other features, plus the other testing, plus the sales related expenses, plus the "opportunity cost", plus our risk, plus profit. So yea, a lot of work. Which sucks but its what we got. Reply With Quote

Yeah it sucks that one of the two programmers posted just before you... And then after you... Terrible communication. NOT. Ok... Bobo

Define best. Only you can do that. CMBN has the most support since it is the oldest CMFI/GL is not as old but has less support for mods and scenarios CMRT is eastern front. Pick the theater you like but more players have CMBN and CMRT than CMFI/GL I believe based on the number of files at the repository and cmmods site. I have all three but play CMFI the least.... Bobo

Now try it with IS-2s... I did stationary "tests" and got results much worse than the Jentz data that Vanir posted for the Nashorn. As I did more "tests" I am more afraid of the IS-2 than any other tank in the game. King Tigers? Meh. Give me an IS-2. The forward observer spotting better than the Nashorn was interesting and maybe intended? Not sure anything is wrong just know that the Nashorn is not a death ray. Bobo

I wonder. Recreated at 2500m and still the FO saw the T-34s but the Nashorn did not. Next up 2000m. Bobo

Hmmm... I just set up a "range" scenario at 3000m+ with Nashorns VS T34s and IS-2 and the Nashorns had trouble spotting anything at that range. The IS-2s did not and were able to dispatch the Nashorns after a few minutes... The FO team could see the IS-2s and the T34s but the Nashorns seemed blind. Bobo

Very cool, but if folks are whining about upgrade prices.... Whoa! Bobo

This is their thread!

We need a thread for that!

Based on what I play, CMBN, CMRT, CMFI is the order of preference but it is close. All of it is fun. Bobo

That's where you can't get you ATV in your truck. Check YouTube.... Bobo

Fighter Bombers?

76mm, I loaded your map and SeinfeldRules version. I definitely thought yours was "CMx1"-ish. I like SR's better. Not much help there but you are getting lots of help in this thread from mapmakers which is great. Keep on making maps. Bobo

So they released a "dumb" game a year ago and and because they "will" give multiplayer for free (allegedly) after charging $80 for a "broken" game you are whining about a $10 update to a 3+ year old game that originally cost $55? Huh? "real thread?" This isn't a real thread? I am offended sir! No tank riders on the western front? OMG I will never play again! Bobo

Maybe I did, and maybe I diiiid.... NO OF COURSE NOT! They say truth is stranger than fiction and that is bearing out here. I am not creative enough or have enough time to do what you propose. Bobo

You go girl! Send me a setup for CMANO! Let's do this! Oops single player only... Thanks for posting in the right thread! Bobo
