Ahem.. cough.. CM2 (cdv version)

[Hertston]

Sorry to open old wounds, but before I get too excited about this puppy can anyone confirm it will be compatible with the cdv version?

I'm assuming some sort of patch to CM2 will be included to allow transfer of the appropriate data, will that be for both versions.

And, dare I ask, is there any chance that those of us lumbered with the cdv effort will finally have total US version compatibility?

Thank you for your time.

Good question.

I think CMC will simply create the scenario-files and CM is started independently from CMC?

Yup, you get a whole new CMBB.exe with CMC that overwrites the old one. It's not bolt-on, and therefore the symbiosis works without problems. That's why we had Charles do this, and not a third party.

Hoorah !! That's made my day (sad individual as I am). Now where do I pre-order?

Sorry to bump this. I'd like some precisions about the international CDV version. Will it work with the French version of Combat Mission 2 ? Will we end up with a semi-english game ? Or are all text messages stored elsewhere ?

Since we can not expect from BFC to make localized versions (because they never did), i guess we will end up with english-versions after CMC install.

I don't have the game but I heard CMAK was multi-lingual, from the start.

I don't mind having the game in english, but as portions of texts are in graphics files and scenario files, I'm afraid we can end up in half english/half translated game. I'd be grateful to hear official words on the subject.

Thanks,

JeF.
