There are already very good CMSF1 scenarios, working in CMSF2, and using the British module. If you are interested, you can go ahead and take the big bundle. The British campaign will come when it is finished, but you already have plenty to play with... Cheers

My pleasure, happy to help Yes sorry you are right for AI group 8. I have checked too quickly. I think you should do the same for AI group 2 then. And for both AI groups move them with Retreat orders.

If I may suggest a small improvement, put those ZU-23-2 technicals of AI group 8 in another group than the T-55. And, use them to area fire your objectives. Same for AI group 2. Also this is important to move them so that their tubes are always toward the enemy. So, you must use the Retreat order so that the ZU-23-2 technicals are actually reversing toward the enemy. This is why this is not compatible to have a T-55 in the same AI group. I am using this technique in the first scenario I am playtesting and I try to have a really cool AI behaviour in attack and defense. A little example. Here is the setup of your technical. The green dot is the facing order so that the ZU-23-2 tubes are looking at the enemy. They already have an area fire order against the two buildings of my demo scenario: The order 2 orders them after one minute to reverse towards the enemy and to continue the area fire... The order 3 orders them, after 4 minutes, to again reverse toward the enemy while continuing the area fire on them: Try it and let me know what you think. This really strengthens any AI attack (against me at least ). I have attached the 002 try.btt test scenario. Play as Blue against Red AI in Scenario Author Mode to see everything. Cheers 002 try.btt

Downloaded and installed. I have tried to convert to 24 bits but this is not a good idea. Looks like 16 bits is the right choice.Thanks again to you @37mm and to you @Lethaface.

Works fine now - thanks a lot Bah - I have checked the properties of the wav.* files but, yes, may be iTunes is not something good for this... @Lethaface and @37mm could you please recommend me the right tool for next time ?

Really cool AAR thanks!

Thanks for the tip but I have checked with iTunes and those files are using 44.100 kHz. I can't see a difference with a working WAV files. Really strange...

Yes, we are on the same page. that's why I call that a legend. Unfortunately, in the collective imagination, some legends persist...

I have tried adding those voices in CMSF2 in Z folder but they does not play well. Requesting a fire mission as Syrians plays a weird sound. Is it working on your side?

Great thanks, do you know if there is a limit to the number of possible voices? For example, for american requesting fire mission over *.wav, there are 6 files from "american requesting fire mission over 0.wav" file to "american requesting fire mission over 5.wav" file. Do you think that the engine will read a "american requesting fire mission over 6.wav" without problem? The reason I am asking is that I would like to combine @Mord voices mod with HQS 3.1 mod. I am wondering if Google translation may help us to record the exact sentence that we would like to fill all the gaps.

In CMSF stock game, I do not think there is a voice when requesting a fire mission. Is it correct? Perhaps we do not know the exact Syrian's procedure. Anyhow, playing a little with the HQS sound mod, I have copied over the files from: .../voices/United States Armed forces/american requesting fire mission over *.wav to: .../voices/Syrian Arab Armed Forces/arabic requesting fire mission over *.wav And, now, I can hear the Syrians speaking when requesting fire mission. Is it how it works meaning the engine checks the name of the file to associate it to an ingame action? Thanks

Thanks, I am also trying not to use any initial barrage. I prefer to identify targets before sending some arty shells. Playing iron difficulty.

Me too, often running out of time. But, I prefer being out of time than out of men.

Oh no - again this legend of a cavalry charge assaulting panzers...

Playing Qasabiyeh - Blue Attack is quite fun as Blue. Nice scenario. I do not want to give some spoilers. But, after my second attempt, I am still running out of time. 50 minutes is quite short since I am a very cautious player. But, I have not used all my artillery assets... so back for a third attempt.

All right, this is the kind of WOW moment I like. It starts with a kind of mistake of my own. I was progressing in a little village as Syrians against uncons. With my first attacking wave progressing well, I have moved forward two more BMP1 but, been perhaps too optimistic, with their squads mounted. Suddenly, an enemy team coming from nowhere was spotted on the right of one of the immobilized BMP1. And, the squad inside the BMP1 opens fire using the roof infantry hatches that are located at the rear of the vehicle killing few guys. WTF. I did not recall having seen this in CMSF1 ever. Is it new to CMSF2? Anyhow, well done BF !!!

Thanks, I like it

Well, not so good...

After few tests, it works. To be sure, the guy won't reload its RPG, you need to insure the next move order (can be anything FAST, QUICK, ...) is ordered BEFORE the RPG guy is firing. Right now, I am doing the following combination with success: Order your RPG team a SLOW movement toward a given position Give 10-15 seconds PAUSE order in this position Order your RPG team a FAST or QUICK movement toward your fallback position Playing in real time, I was sometimes not planning enough in advance the retreat of my guys...

@sburke Just for my information, which scenario is this? Thanks

Nice work

This is funny because that is exactly what I thought when I wrote it. But, we can also think of the separate delivery of a module in the form of two packs, if a module is too much work.

Yes, you are probably right. Thus, that would need to be a mix between Battle Packs and Vehicle/Formation Packs, the former using the units of the latter.

For modern titles such as CMSF2 and CMBS, I think that this will be a good policy to just introduce new countries / formations / vehicles (with packs) and create a kind of sandbox for the community to play with. You should truss the community to create brilliant scenario (it is already) with the new toys you will give them. My two cents...

Hello Steve, I have missed this post so sorry to react with one month delay. Have you already decided on which technology the new engine will be based? Do you lean towards Vulkan? Or, are you going back to DirectX? I imagine that you will develop your own engine not using things like Unreal Engine, Unity or something else to remain independent. And, just for my information, did you program CMx2 in C, C++, or something else? Thanks
