Helpful as the developpers have been so far, I wouldn't be surprised if they enabled you to play it in a LAN without internet connection.

Another idea: call in smoke, then advance quickly using the speed advantage of the skis. Once your skitroops take fire they drop their skis and have nearly no chance to cross the open ground. This one is really tricky if you don't want to use the tanks.

M-kill = mobility kill = immobilised Hail fire = lots of (non-lethal) hits.

I thought "agarian nations" was kind of funny.

If you play without FOW you will probably see all kill and WIA/KIA immediately when they happen. But you'll have to count them yourself.

That's news to me but if you say so.

You could save each turn of your game and surrender after each turn. Then you'll see the casualty numbers. However the KIA numbers might be contradicting.

"berger" is the french word for shepherd, but I don't know the history of that word.

no, it means recovery tank ("bergen" = "to recover"). Of course "Berge" is also the plural of "mountain" but that's just a coincidence (or maybe not, got to ask a linguist).

Fantastic, this one looks beautiful!

Another one: Mazda MR2 in France ...

lmao

There's a difference, your Forum name doesn't have HJ in it. [ October 27, 2006, 07:46 AM: Message edited by: tankibanki ]

Third time worked for me. This time I didn't use Flashget, maybe that was the problem.

Did anyone manage to download the demo? I always get a corrupt file. Is there an alternative download site for it? I didn't even find any demo download on the developer's site.

Google Earth has got all elevation data. Has anyone attempted to export a heightmap from Google Earth to use it in a scenario? I haven't found a way to show a greyscale heightmap in Google Earth. Didn't find anything on it in the Google Earth Forums either.

Do you have a programming software for your mouse? Then you can simulate keyboard keys with those mouse buttons.

The Nebelwerfer was used to fire rockets, not just smoke. I'm not completely sure why it was called Nebelwerfer, but smoke=Nebel is not the reason ("fog" would be a better translation anyway). The Nebelwerfer was invented by a man called Nebel, but there is the story that the Nebelwerfer got its name by being distributed to the chemical weapons troops.

Good to hear that it works. When I asked for smoke launchers on the thor I was thinking of a multiple launcher which launches a semicircle (or a little less) at a distance of around 10m with very short flight time (i.e. not high trajectory). Do you think that would be possible?

Which option gives me the correct output to find those ENOENT messages? Thanks for the help so far.

This is the first time I have used strace. No idea how to read it's output. It has detected 7 errors total: 1 waitpid 5 access 1 ioctl Do you have any idea what that could mean? [ September 07, 2006, 07:43 AM: Message edited by: tankibanki ]

I got the glibc from the "testing" distribution. Before that I was using stable.

Ok, got a 2.6 kernel to run, but that wasn't the problem after all. As you suggested I needed a new glibc. After that, the error message is gone. Unfortunately it still doesn't run. All I get when I run "./runClient" is the following line "~/Dropteam/bin/ ~/Dropteam/" and a new prompt (after a couple of seconds)

yeah, I know, but the updated kernel should solve the problem (it's not updated by updating sarge either). The problem is not glibc itself. However I haven't succeeded in compiling a working 2.6 kernel for this machine, yet. It's a little complicated because of some drivers I have to put in manually. Moreover I am aware of debian paranoia concerning what is "stable". Thanks for trying to help.

I have installed XFCE and I have got the current glibc version. I do my "update -> upgrade" pretty frequently. I have tested it on my Notebook which is running mostly the same but on a 2.6 kernel. So the kernel version really seems to be the problem.
