Hawk

I have been an avid fan of the SP series, and I found SPWAW to be an enjoyable experience. I don't play if for it's realsim, I play it because I like it, and enjoy doing a battle there from time to time. It's not going to be played a lot, but it will stay on my HD for a long time. I either likes or dislikes a game. It doesn't matter how realistic it is, how much eyecandy there are or what other people think of it. If I like it I play it. As simple as that!

You fellas quaffing down the champagne, smoking cigars and putting your feet on the table? Are you eating grapes, handfed you from beautifull girls? Gone surfing? Or is it still a lot of work going on behind the scene? Anyway, GG so far!!!! You're the best! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Apart from the recreation of KGWilk ( home.sol.no/~paaar/kgwilk ), I want to make a scenario from an old movie ("Last bridge across the Rhine", or something). I don't remember much, but there was this scene where a platoon of Shermans had to advance along a narrow road next to a river and then cross the river on a railroad bridge, while being under direct fire from a pair of 88's! I think they succeeded (it was an American movie, after all ), but I'd like to simulate it in CM! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

I had some strange graphical problems with the cursor. The game would also run for a while and then hang. After reading a bit here yesterday, I upgraded my mouse-drivers and whaddoyaknow - it works like a dream now! Could that be worth trying for you? Good luck!

I'll also doubt that you gain much by zipping since HPS probably allready has to ease download. Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Sigh! Don't get me wrong, this site looks good and I will probably use it in the future. I just wish more people would specialize, in stead of making just another page with "a litle info about everything".

Steve said in a post one month ago: "Whoops! Misread Lewis' quetion. I thought he asked if the Gold version could be downloadable (been asked many times in the last year ), but rereading he asked about the Gold Demo. No to the final, yes to the Gold Demo. Size of that sucker will probably be a bit bigger due to the larger textures we are now using. Dunno how much bigger though. Steve" Search is a wonderfull thingy!

Come on folks, I could need something to laugh at. Any URL's to B&B? Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Here in Norway I pay roughly 1$ US per hour online during off-peak (?) hours (5 pm to 7 am weekdays, and 24 hours on weekends). Let's say we managed to swap files every 10 minutes on average. In a 20 turns game (a short one), you need about 30 swaps (????), so that's five hours online. Now, let's take a long game of 40 turns, and my wife would file for a divorce. The money isn't the problem. The time is! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

BAD BOY OBG!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I am either missing something here, or Steve has gone slack in banning people! Anyway, my suggestion for CM2 is "Beyond Barbarossa" and for CM3 "Desert Rats" or "Rommel's finest hour". I second OBG's "Blitzkrieg" for CM4.

Well, I didn't get Hypercam to work with CM. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see, I guess! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Cybercam search only returns camcorders and webcams. I assume you mean Hypercam from Hyperionix? Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Thank you, Pirate! I kinda had that one pretty much figured out. Would a TV-out and video produce that good looking results? Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Will the Gold Demo include a really large scenario so that we can test our hardware? If I manage to get my hands on the Gold Demo a month or so before the real thing, I might have time to get new hardware if I find that my current system can't handle it well enough!

CoolColJ asked how you created that AVI intro movie, and I'd like to know as well. Was it frame-by-frame capture, or do you have any nifty utility? Imagine the war movies we could create using this, guys (and girls?)! CM version of SPR anyone?? Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Well, I started thinking about how to make AVI (or similar) videos from a battle. If you could view indevidual frames, it would be quite easy to capture them. Of course, it would be a lot of work creating it! A full-lenght viedo option is of course very much apreciated! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

I once heard the King Tiger described as a semi mobile bunker. Semi mobile, I like that! Jeeez, am I disgressing or what!? Weekend!!!! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

Planning to buy a new computer myslef. Is GeForce a good alround card if I want to play both strategy games and FPS (Quake, Unreal etc), or should I go for something else?

Didn't you get these pictures from Matt, Lorak? If so, you can yell at him instead, Thomm! That latest POTD, I guess it would be every A10 pilot's wet dream!

A while ago Matt told us on CMHQ that we would be able to do 1 sec. jumps back and forth when watching the video. Will it be possible to do a fram-by-fram playback (or, say 0.1 sec jumps)? If you have the code for 1 sec jumps, it shouldn't be to hard to implement (I guess/hope). Perhaps something to add in CM2...?

Oh wow! You'll be sainted next! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

I did just that! "I want to send my tanks west through the woods." ...was translated to... "Ich möchte meine Behälter durch das Holz nach Westen senden." ...which translated back to... "I would like to transmit my containers by the wood to the west." Come on, submit yours! Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die!

I'll do an operation based on a miniature game I took part in some years ago (check it out on http://home.sol.no/~paaar/battlefield/kgwilk/kgwilk.htm NB! Very unfinished, and the big pictures takes a long (!) time loading). The plot is as follows. Due to an unforseen American breakthrough northwards in France 1944 a hasty defense is set up along the coast with reinforcements beeing rushed to the frontline. The Germans must hold at all costs in order to secure the evacuation of a V2 base just behind the new frontline. I'll have to downscale it a little bit, but all in all, it shouldn't be any trouble converting it. I just have to get some more info from our GM Hawk ------------------ Our's is not to reason "why", our's is but to do and die! Dang! I never get that UBB right!
