Why do dead tanks gun barrels "droop" ?
Other Means replied to BulletRat's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
well, it used to happen to the daleks. -
Newbie with a bunch of questions.
Other Means replied to Jam3's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
you could try this -
wow. there's a lot of love in this room. here's a little trick i came up with for free email services & spam. don't shout it from the rooftops as it can be easily countered. when you create an eamil account, define you name as having a few double underscores in it. i.e. mike__the__wino__@hotmail.com so far my hotmail address has had ZERO spam & it uses the double underscore trick. also, don't give it out in things like your profile as their bots are getting clever at parsing pages & finding them. give it a go, tell me if i'm just lucky.

Biltongs Excel orgy - I dont get it....
Other Means replied to r0tten's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
hi, i'm just starting to learn CMBB & one day will definately be using your rules. the whole effort seems really well done. however i couldn't get your 0 - 10 die to work straight off, so here's one i've written in HTML & JavaScript (test it -i've had a bottle of wine). if you just save it to your desktop & click on it it will open a browser window. then click the link & the number will appear in an alert box. i've only tested it on IE6 & Mozilla on pc but it should be ok for everything else. hope it comes in useful. </font><blockquote>code:</font><hr /><pre style="font-size:x-small; font-family: monospace;"><html> <head> <title>Biltong's 0 to 10 generator</title> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> <!-- rnd.tDate=new Date(); rnd.seed=rnd.tDate.getTime(); function rnd() { rnd.seed = (rnd.seed*9301+49297) % 233280; alert(Math.round(rnd.seed/(23328)%10)); }; </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <a href="#" onClick="javascript:rnd();">Baby needs new shoes</a> </body> </html></pre> -
Surprising ignorance displayed yet again...
Other Means replied to Tigrii's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
losing the text + other 2 elements of the game is mostly related to full screen anti aliasing. it happens to me on my GF4. if you alt tab again it may fix it. search for "anti aliasing". -
1.02 No CD Fix?
Other Means replied to RSColonel_131st's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
something other than CMBB? steady on. i'm no expert on these things. or many other, most...nearly every...BUT: it does sound like the CD has a special track on it, which the .exe looks for. it won't be taken over by nero causing the exe to hang. if virtual cd takes this over then it's a smart utility. -
1.02 No CD Fix?
Other Means replied to RSColonel_131st's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
if you're updating to 1.02 with the download patch then upgrading won't change anything. it's the way the CD tracks are written that is the copy protection. anyone have any joy with virtual cd, the euro version & XP? -
Firing through friendly vehicles
Other Means replied to Fuerte's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
transparent smoke from all vehicles? with a boolian to say whether to render it? but i suppose that would make tanks seem as tall as the smoke plume to the AI, which would be more difficult to detect for the average player but would also doubtless result in a "fix the 40m tall tanks or sumfink" thread. -
1.02 No CD Fix?
Other Means replied to RSColonel_131st's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
while my attitude to piracy in general is pretty {ahem} unformed, my attitude towards privacy of BTS stuff is unforgiving. you know these are 4 guys who are just trying to make a living & supply us with the stuff we want to play. they're not M$ or Sony or EEE AAAAH SPORTS (anyone else replace their intrusive intro movie with a blank file?). saying that, replacing CD's all the time is a pain. this utility http://www.virtualcd-online.com/ may help. i've not tried it myself as i've not had time (new house - even CMBB's a stretch). tell me if it works. cheers. i'll try to use less brackets next time. -

Close Combat Better than CM?
Other Means replied to SFJaykey's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
it's good to hear that the 1:1 ratio is wanted. i would really like to see it but of course then you expect to see them going through doors, setting up their MG's etc so there has to be a cut off. no need to go mad for 2.0. also, what's the point of giving out medals etc if they have no effect other than looking good? unless a man gets a medal so they get a morale boost for the NEXT game...?

cmmos ruleset installation
Other Means replied to kevsharr's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
thanks. i think it's amazing that a software house like BTS can, by simply trying to do the best by it's customers, get those customers to reciprocate with such a high level of community involvment. the game is brilliant, the forum is spot on and the level of work that goes into the mods is amazing. -
cmmos ruleset installation
Other Means replied to kevsharr's topic in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
sorry sorry, been looking on this forum for about a month. what's a ruleset? i've looked at www.cmmods.com & can't find any. they sound interesting. i've looked quickly on the faq but they seem to be one of those things everybody knows about so they don't need to define. thanks for any help you can give me. -
no problem. what you trying to do? you on linux? if you're trying to make a searchable db it's quite easy with PHP & mySql. i've never set up the php - mysql connection myself but the documentation is usualy pretty good. and once php knows where mySql is it's just 3 lines or so. i think this is probably straying off topic so: email me if you have specific questions.
