A Canadian Cat

Yep, for sure.

Because that is not something that CM simulates. It is an often asked for feature for sure. Again that's not what re-crewing simulates. It is quite common for a TC and or some crew to disembark and scout an area. That's what CM is simulating. Well one forced to by taking casualties and getting hammered often is. Over the versions the condition of disembarked crew has been downgraded and they are no longer as willing to fight as they once were.

Something is missing from the mod depot. I did a version for shock force like these: https://www.thefewgoodmen.com/cm-mod-warehouse/combat-mission-black-sea/cmbs-other/nato-tactical-symbol-icon-replacements-for-red-force-by-a-canadian-cat/ @Bootie I cannot seem to find my CMSF icons listed...

The act of abandoning the gun is as it says - they are leaving it behind forever - so they disable it as per thier orders. They are not just taking cover temporary. They are abandoning the gun. Now it would be nice to temporarily leave the gun to seek better cover and then return. However that would be something other than abandonment.

I don't' think the Capt was suggesting that the IDF not attack Hamas the conversation is about the choices they are making in the how. Making the powerful occupying force overreact in order to bolster the fighter group's support among the oppressed is a time honoured tradition the IRA was doing it back when I was a kid I'm sure they were not the first.

Are you doing the same for AMD products? It's their change that caused this not BFC's.

Well only one, maybe three, people have any knowledge of the BFC code. I'm not one of them, you are not one of them no "other members" are one of them either. So, just dismiss that baseless claim. The bottom line is graphics card vendors are responsible for implementing the OpenGL interface. If they have bugs they should fix them.

This thread seems to be evidence that some do.

With titles after CMBN you can put them in the data folder or in the documents folder under the mods sub folder. I put the version specific mods in the game install data folder and the rest in the documents mods folder. Both locations work though.

LOL you know what yeah I was. It has been a **** month. Wife was sick, I got COVID and gave it to her right after she recovered from whatever she had. We are good now but still tire easily. The above issue is a peeve of mine but yeah I probably should have just ignored it all like is usually do. Or not! Sometimes I just need to say it out loud.

? Mini rant. Not really picking on @Ales Dvorak because I see this on multiple platforms and multiple products. Apple users seems to be subjected to this most but it's not even an apple only thing: I hate hearing people complain to companies that are not the cause of problems created by other companies. Direct your angst towards the people that caused the problem. Say you support open gl but break a working API. It's the graphics card company's problem not the game company's. At least to investigate and find out if there was a mistake made in the usage of the API. Change chip sets or chip bit depth and don't make the advertised backwards compatibility cover everything? It's OS manufacturer that's at fault. Change the chip set and cause everyone to demand a new native compiled version or popular apps. Well crap. What about those of us who aren't using that OS why don't we get any new features for nearly a year just because some group of customers bitches and moans about the totally manufactured demands. I'll shut up now

Wow, where can you get a discount on lattes for winning a combat mission tournament? : D

Yep. Nice icons BTW I'll see if I can reproduce it and seeof it is already logged.

People on the internet telling someone that he should tweak his priorities. It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

As far as I know this *was* fixed long ago. I play daily and haven't see it in since. Interesting. That doesn't happen automatically during the install process? That would not be good. LOL I hope you are not a manager of people. I'd hate to have you looking over my shoulder telling me how to manage every minute of my time.

Sigh. I don't speak for Steve but I suspect he doesn't care much if some rando on the internet thinks he's not working and is bitching an moaning about it. I could be wrong. It's possible he'll pop in here right quick and show proof to you that he's still working. LOL Not

We never see the chew gum part out here until he has fashioned a great looking bubble. OK maybe that analogy has run its course

LOL I'm fairly certain that Steve feels exactly the same. Except he *has* stopped talking to the wall

I really don't think that is true at all. Learning how things are playing out in an actual conflict is now these games were designed. A lot of that work was done learning about history for years and years by Steve and many many others. The fact that we have a conflict on going with direct relevance to tactics and equipment is unusual but the learning is going on. Lots of learning. Sure Steve and Charles et al are not beavering away and making changes that you see tomorrow but there is no question that this learning is good for the games (feels gross saying it). Kinda like people's learning over decades went into CMBO the learning going on now is going to pay off in the years to come. You can bitch and moan about "not working on the game", "too busy posting to work" all you want but it's just whining that's all.

Wow that seems a bit unfair. Sorry, not sorry, you aren't getting new toys fast enough.

I am fairly certain @Battlefront.com can walk and chew gum at the same time

Hopefully someone will chime in with more but on thing that leapt to mind is take a screen shot of the CMBO map and use that as an overlay for the CMBN map work. Still all manual but lets you trace the CMBO map

Well the CM system can actually score something more than zero for the loosing side in a surrender. Surrendering gives the opponent all the occupy objectives. Touch objectives are still earned only. Parameters are still earned only and you can even just give points. So the scoring could be setup for a 2000 point match to straight up give each side 200 points, Then give 300 points for a few parameter objectives and the other 1500 to occupy objectives. Then the guys that completely gets trashed and surrenders gets only 200 points and their opponent gets a full scroe. The ones that surrender but have some forces left and put up a fight get up to 500 and their winning opponent does not get the full 2000. Clearly I'm just picking numbers but the CM scoring system can already handle your objection against surrendering. Assuming of course its setup with that in mind.

"act together", I meant "act together" yeah that's it, that's the ticket. I'm still unclear on why swearing is censored. I mean really, we have videos that show people getting killed for ****s sake and a little colourful language is not allowed. Sheesh. Oops I did it again

Indeed. That somebody (cough Iran cough cough) has wanted that for decades. Honestly, I just don't see it happening. Iran is the only one that actually wants some kind of war with Israel. Even Iran doesn't want to do it directly they are just another rogue state run by a chaos monkey. All they can do is what they are doing. Sure it will rile things up but no other country is going to join in with an attack on Israel and the bad actors that Iran has been supporting are just going to kick up some dirt and die horrible deaths finally finding out there are no virgins. Bringing this back on topic - it might spur some members of the US congress to get their **** together and actually pass some funding that will help both Ukraine and Israel.
