'Ive never tried mapping mission, am I really missing something?' I think so. I am not a designer, but some say that you can put the topo (or whatever) map scan in the background of Mapping Mission, what probably helps a lot (MM is a map editor which is running under windows, and a finished map can then be exported to CM).

Scenario files are encrypted, so that way doesn't work. But there're two other ways to communicate with CM: 1. MM: Mapping Mission from L.Tankersley 2. MC: Map Converter (from me) Both are able to write data to the CM editor and both can open and save their own files. So if you're able to write a programm which translates an original map into a 3rd party CM structure (MM or MC) then it should work. Contact me if you want to use MC.

Thanks for all the 'thank you' To be honest that was less work than creating a scenario or a mod...

mmmh that's interesting. Are you sure about the CMBO patch no.? It must be 1.12. btw, if you run the analyze, you can do other things with the computer. I mean it runs in the background (of cause more slowly).

could be days! one guy waited the whole night (appr. 7 hours). If I were a professional coder I probably could make the procedure faster; I usually copy and paste most of the code from examples or tutorials..... On my PC it took 10 min, but that was pure luck I think. Do you have the CMBO special edition, or do you wanted just to try the analyze thing? I could try somthing different for your special edition....

Hey, I found out how to place an url into the signature...ok, just to be sure if that fails: map converter 1.29 It works with CMAK 1.03 (at least on my PC), but I could test it only with the battlefront version. If someone has the CDV version it would be cool if he could run a test.

Yeah Junk2drive, I noticed that mc doesn't work with CMAK 1.03. I hope to fix that in 2-3 days.

Normally the tactical AI prevents your tanks from such a suicide. In the games I've played the remaining tanks try to drive around such a minefield. But the problem is that there might be more than one minefield or (what I guess) that some of the tanks drive to close around the square where the tac AI expects the minefield. I am not sure if the command 'moving to contact' could help you. Just from memory I would say that they stop when a minefield is detected.

web page maybe this helps, although you can't see the excact location.

Hugenotten was a dirty word at first. They called themselfs 'Religion prétendue réformée' or 'calvinists' (from Johannes Calvin, one of the founders) or simple 'protestants'. Later they called themselves Hugenotten on their own. They were a minority in France (90 % catholic) and had to flee. around 40.000 (of 200.000) I think went to German countries (more or less 20.000 of them to Prussia).

I have no information, but I like to say that the site is really great..

Do you have an LCD monitor? Just from my own experience: I have an 17" monitor and when I run CMAK with more than 60 Hz the screen is shifted to the left. Only with 60Hz it's in the middle. Although it's strange that it was ok a while at the beginning of your game....Anyway I recommend to choose a video setting with the lowest frequency (60 Hz or so). As already mentioned you have to delete the preference file to be able to choose the video setting.

Poppy, I don't think so. That's too much work with less benefit as far as I can see. Maybe a rotation can be done easily with the tiles who don't have a special direction, but I have no idea on my own. Any ideas for an algorithm? But at least the tiles with a direction will be comlicated to convert..

In CMBB I KO (forced the crew to abandon) a pillbox with 2 HMGs from a disatnce below 200 m. So this works too, but is risky if the gun fires HE in time..

'Im developing a kinda strategic side of it ' Do you need a gamemaster for it when playing? I guess yes ..

Ok here's the latest version (1.28) http://www.pyes-ct.de/mc.html , the mirror files from McAuliffe are included (CMAK). He did a great job in creating these files and I am happy that I could include his mirroring idea. As he said if there's a mirror function needed for CMBO/CMBB we still need volunteers. If there's no need (I'll wait a few days), I think that's it and we can finish the test phase (need just to add the mirror file thing in the help). Many thanks to all who helped me and for all the comments I got. Jens

and the Madonna songs? can we hope too?

I would like to know what you think about QBs where the Allied side purchases Brits and US troops, means mix them up. Is that gamey? why? I remember one of my first games where I did that and my opponent was pissed off. Then I never did that anymore and found out that it was sometimes difficult to choose the side, I mean it depended on what I had in mind in the battle. So the question precisely is: Is there an advantage when mixing up Allied nations from the point of view of spending money to the best available unit?

'when I tried to mirror' yeah, every tile which has a direction is converted improperly. I still didn't find a volunteer who is willing to fill in the files with the proper information

XP / PIV 2.8 MHz / 500MB Ram 1:30 average benchmark 1:00 to loose the game

opps, junk2drive, didn't see your posting: forget my posting above and send me the 20$....

Thanks for your effort/enthusiasm Hans. This app is for free and there's no donation needed from my side (except, if that winedonation guy (I am sure he doesn't visit the scenario forum very often) asks you then say whitewine )

$$$$ $$$$ when will this come true for me?

$$$$$$$ I am rich $$$$$$

Thank you Lucho. I didn't spend more time than anyone of you guys for designing a good scenario, I guess. So a big thanks back to you all for entertaining the community. Hans: ; CMBO CMAK is included. Do you have the latest version (1.28). If it doesn't work with cmbo just tell me. There's also a problem with CMBO special edition. At the lower part of the apps form you find a troubleshooting section for this edition. Please contact me if there're problems.
