you guys. are weird HURAH CM WORKS ON MY PC! BOW BEFORE MY THROBBING LENGHT OF GE-FORCE 2 CARD PULSATING IN HARDWARE T&L MANNER oops, time for the Lithium PeterNZ

Clever plan Colin I'll be there tommorow.. when i'm at work hehe MEANWHILE! my ge-force two is working YAYAYAYAYAY!!! it all looks SO PRETTY mmm! PeterNZ

Thanks everyone PeterNZ *soon off to battle... his PC*

just a quick q. since I can't find it myself.. anyone know of a tidy little diplomacy game. something someone threw together in visual basic or something? Preferable shareware. I want to run a couple of intra-office games hehe :> PeterNZ

Yeah, we did kinda get overwhelmed. Once i've sacraficed my PC to the Abaccus Gods I will endeavour to help out with the FAQ Or how about this. Just email me at work ptyson@datamonitor.com and surprise me with a Q. Chances are I'll complete it within an hour out of sheer surprise. Take advantage of me PeterNZ

they don't work well for me either hehe. :/ nothing does! *waaaaah* now i think i shall have to work out how to reinstall windows. hmm but the else tech guy talked about enabling one of the bios shaddow memory settigns and setting primary vga boot device to AGP and assigning irq's to vga and enabling vga pallete snooping. If that wasn't already fine, the card won't work in it's test would it? I dunno bla PeterNZ

Hey, I like FPS too ESPECIALLY counter strike. now if only my PC would work PeterNZ

Hi, yes i did have a voodoo 1 AND an ATI Rage 2c. I whipped them both out and thought I had uninstalled them but apparently not. anyway, I went and removed all references to 3dfx, glide and voodoo from the registry and then reinstalled my Gladiac drivers, used the bog-standard out of the box ones. And no go! No video playing, no game playing, (the no video playing really gets me, what's up with that?) It's getting close to a format c: but.. I really have absolutely no idea how to format the drive and reinstall windows *sigh* I dunno. PeterNZ

well i'll buzz through with Norton System Works 2000 which is an ok program. Um, well I install Nvidia's new drivers which look nice and all, but still no video play back or games running at all, it's really quite odd, because it was working for a while. o well PeterNZ

don't really know what MB i have since I have got the case on and stuff. I will try those detinator things. people DO NOT BUY FROM ELSA I don't think I have ever come across a worse designed site or worse technical help pages and driver support than at elsa. Their GeForce 2 cards ship with -two year old- drivers! ARG PeterNZ

Elsa are truely evil. I found out how to install the glasses on DejaNews where some techhead posted, (the glasses and the rest of Elsa's kit are bassically not supported by elsa bar 'plug it in'.). Unfortunately, although the glasses now work with the test JPG, the card as a whole doesn't work with anything, not even .mpg's or .avis PeterNZ

well crap the elsa 3d glasses make absolutely no sense whatsoever. you can't use the drivers on the disk because it says it doesn't recognise the vid card as supporting it.. and you can't download 3d glasses drivers since they only made them for other peoples geforce cards (!?!) but they do say they have the cab files in their latest geforce 2 drivers, which i have installed. Well what F**K'n use is that?! It still isn't intalled and won't install. argg! PeterNZ Pissed of with Elsa

DeanCo talked me through the simple task which i hadn't tried yet, of reinstalling the drivers. He kept me sane and now it all works! Only thing is I have yet to be able to get the 3d glasses working. The manual for the geforce 2 says they work with it.. but the glasses don't mention the geforce 2 chip.. Ok, in an update, just found on the elsa site some new drivers. All is downloading. Might report back soon under a new topic. [This message has been edited by PeterNZer (edited 08-14-2000).]

That's just insane! I have to f**K around with the registry?? ARRGG PeterNZ

Hi there Just stuck another 32mb of ram into my machine, (weird thing only has three ram slots ) .. And took out my ati card and stuck in a brand new GeForce 2 card, hurah. problem is, although it seems like all the drivers are in there for it, not a single game will run! All get to loading point and then crash, (quake even crashes saying 'glide2x.dll expected voodoo'.. going to try and upgrade glide and all that ****e i guess as well.. I dunno, driving me mad. Can't even play movies right now :/ .. and hte damn Elsa revelator 3d glasses don't work with it, despite the manual saying they would, (on my elsa gladiac geforce 2). arg ideas, or help? icq 1249731 PeterNZ

A related Q to the one on numbers, but perhaps more relevant to the fans is.. "Do you guys at BTS feel more than adequately renumerated for your work?" I'm not just talking 'made base rate of pay', but 'wow lets do this again!'. I mean, we want you to have a lot of money, and your wives to be suitably impressed, and all that stuff. In other words, we, the fans, wish SUCCESS upon you BTS guys! So can you spill us that info? PeterNZ

Ahh, the irate grogonard, a terrible Foe. I think everyone shouldn't post at all if they're not going to post something usefull in reply eh? Besides, us oldish timers should have worked out a FAQ months ago. I shall add it to my list of tasks to do, it is now number #341 fingers crossed I complete it before next century with the other guys help, (we started it a while back eh). Lets be nice to the juniors, it helps Steve and Charles PeterNZ

Demise is an independently produced game, (like CM!). bassically it's a graphical MUD, ie. dungeon bash. I believe you can play it multiplayer as well made by artifact entertainment Dynamo

MAKE IT A TOGGLE there, everyone should be happy now. First person to run a mp game sets it on or off, you can choose in single player, job done! *born diplomat hehe* PeterNZ t minus 3 days for PC arrival

Iron, don't forget the web ring, it's a great way to look around the CM community. I'm sure you can follow it from MadMatts site. Make sure to check out http://combatvision.panzershark.com where you can download a amusing vid myself and Freelancal made! More to come PeterNZ

hi fractured my arm. anyone going to make a press release for the CMMC when its closer to going full steam? quite a few strat. sites, and even news places might be interested. CMMC is pretty revolutionary, and also good publicity for CM PeterNZ One Handed Typing Wonder

I think Prima just take submissions and then publish. There's numerous ways fans could build a strategy guide, but publishers would probably want to know how many copies the game sold before actually putting ink on paper, so they could work out revenues.. correct? Hey, i'd be keen to help out :> PeterNZ

HE SAID F*Q ! DON'T SAY THE F WORD!!! *cries for mommy* PeterNZ

Congrats! And I have to say you two are just a great bunch of guys. Was very pleased with the after-sales service or pre-sales, or whatever it was fiddling around with my credit card service So when are you going to update the web page hehe? Anyway. I -do- hope you're driving around in Ferraris! I seriously hope you're both finding yourself with a pile of money to wade through, I hope it clogs up your drains and fills your bath tubs. I hope you find it's much more than you could earn in the private sector, and I hope your wives suddenly start giving you 'bedroom eyes' again hehe (I hope you have the energy to comply) I hope you keep going! PeterNZ

Monday is always slow. I spend all my time waiting for people in other companies to reply to my emails ARG bastards! It's going to be hella busy when it all pours in tho. Anyway, I have new toys in the mail mmmmm new toys.. mm video cards.. mmmm ram .. mmm glasses.. mmmm you can come and touch my computer if you like, and see the glasses ooooo Well when the pc arrives. Meanwhile, i'm bloody frustrated, i'm pinning for my PC I NEED IT HERE! Arg! PeterNZ - going mad
