I Stumbled upon this game that is being sold just like CM, ie on internet only. But it plays and looks just as good as any FPS, but its more cerebal http://www.aiwars.com/ Think of it has a hacker/net game in the future, with first person 3d graphics - um hard to explain but its really fun! Reminds me of the Matrix! Check out the demo! Its a game geeks would love You get to upgrade your computer buy new software and then hack into systems etc ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

I just uploaded a slightly improved Jagdpanther wallpaper up on my site in my new art gallery page Access it from the main page (click on the right hand pick or the index link) This time its logo-less and I rendered it in 3 sizes (as opposed to shrinking it down) 800x600, 1024x768 and (for you 19 inch monitor freaks! ) 1280x960 Feedback please ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Well Its my first attempt, and I'm going to do another set. Imagine playing Cm with graphics like that! One day ....well I'll give it my best shot at making sme textures that get close to that ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

My site has been fixed goto my CM goodies section and check out the wallpaper [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 04-18-2000).]

As soon as Geocities starts feeding me I'll be able to update my site and show you these new pics!! ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Well I'm glad I didn't release Tweaked tetxures v2.0! After seeing the 8 pic special by MadMatt, I've noticed BTS has changed the infantry tetxure system for the better, by having a proper side texture! You won't believe how much better this will make my job at tweaking! In the beta demo, the infantry texture just had the arm texture stretched over the side of the infantry model. So you couldn't do belts on the side, and SS cammo patterns would look awful But finally BTS has fixed this I'm happy - 2 thumbs up! Now all we need now is mipmapping.... ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

In my opinion, there is no need for scenarios for the gold demo Just one Operation should be enough! You to get fight several "scenarios" in an OP .Its like killing 2 birds with one stone. That way BTS get to show off CM in the best way, and remove any possible confusion from the demo tester. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

WHat's going on here? Its not like any of this is real We're in cyber land! ccj

I used to rap, and its my rapping name I guess Plus its on all my records too - so I gotta use it And its a nick I used on all the Amiga demos I did graphics and music on, when I was part of a Amiga demo group called DiGiTaL /\cCesS Col J

I suspect this will be a PC only affair - unless someone is willing to convert 50 odd megs of textures, and 100+ megs of audio data The textures will be available to download - well maybe, it depends on if I can get enough hosting space. But the audio is a definite no. Compassion has given me some space, but with a few people downloading 100+ megs of data - that means bandwidth will be hogged, and since I don't pay for this hosting, the paying customers will be pretty mad Also I don't fancy uploading 100+ megs of data at 15k a sec. Even though I have cable, Compassion's site has a slow connection to me.Too many hops I suspect. ccj

Mathias Cm's problem is not AA- although that will help, playing at high res just about cures the jaggies WHat CM suffers from is the lack of Mipmapping, which causes that shimmering when you move around. I hope Charles has fixed this in the gold version, because the shimmering is really annoying ccj

Man you gotta learn to build your own PC Its lots of fun, and you get the machine of your choice, and cheaper too if you buy everything from OEM dealers etc. ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Cool CM2 in OpenGl - which looks a lot better than D3d, which also allows me to run FSAA on my TNT2 too And also allows transform and lighting on Geforce cards ccj

That's the idea - both sound and GFx on the CDR - the GFX will most probably be downloadable. the Beta demo's textures were about 8 megs uncompressed (4 compressed) and at one stage my Tweaked Textures were around 12 megs The gold version will have almost 4 times that many I suspect, with almost 10-15 times the amount of vehicles in the Beta demo! SO I suspect there would be at least 30+ megs of tetxures in the gold version. I won't be modifying every tetxure, but most vehicles will be changed. I will have a summer and winter cammo scheme set hopefully. This will take a long time I suspect In between Cm gaming sessions and music writing - I'll wait till the honeymoon period is over before I tackle this mega task Off course if you live in my city you are welcome to hop over for a autographed CDR DEF BUNGIS - if BTS keep the same file formats as the beta demo, which I suspect they will, then there should be no problems here. It will be fully tested for sure ccj [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 04-11-2000).]

The beta is dead - I suggest you people erase the beta demo from your HD and clear your thoughts for the impending Gold demo No point living in the past - you must plan for the future, and that's what I'm doing. I still plan to do a take no prisoners Texture upgrade for CM - if your video card doesn't support at least 16 megs of video ram you may not like it I'm after nothing short of maximum grogish realism I will definitely remaster all the games sounds too - but you may not be able to download these, I suspect it will end up at a couple hundred megs, audio data being the pig they are I suppose the best thing is I can burn a CDR for people who want it. You pay for the CDR media and postage off course That's what I'm planning, if nobody wants it, fine - doesn't bother me, its all for my personal satisfaction. I have very high personal graphic and audio tastes. Especially audio, since I master CDs for my friend's record label ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

Well with only a month to go, I figure there is no point me releasing my tetxures now, I will use them in my CM gold version enhancement package. I one of those people that doesn't like to release unfinished stuff as it would directly reflect my reputation sorry Anyway when the gold demo comes out - you will most likely forget about my textures and most probably never need them ccj

Errrr I disagree with all of you - I've had a TNt2 and a Geforce SDR on the same machine - a P3 573mhtz machine , and believe me there is a huge difference in speed! Even with a SDR on just a P3 500 (o/c to 573 mhtz). CM was a lot smoother on the Geforce, and not necessarily due to the increase in frame rates. Pumping 4 texels per clock cycle, as opposed to 2 texels in the TNT2 does that Having said that - wait till the new Nv video card comes out - that means the current geforce will drop in price, you may even pick one up second hand, from people upgrading All the problems that others have described are pretty much gone now, with the new VIA chipsets and Kx133 Athlon motherboards, and stability with geforce cards are just as good as any if not better. Also my Geforce was pretty overclocked up too. I had a Leadtek Geforce using SGram - standard was running at 125mhtz/160mhtz memory - I clocked mine up to 150/190! Which ran for hours without crashing and got me an extra 15 fps! Yeah there is a difference in brands, also mine had a SV video out as well, so I can watch on TV and record on a video recorder. But unless you have a video capture card then there is no way you can capture it onto you HD. Fionn ever thought of getting a Matrox G400max TV video card? They look superb (better than a TNT2 in 2d and 3d quality), are just as quick as TNT2 Ultras and have superb TV outs, and can also capture (only the TV capture one). But they aren't cheap, and the your up to Geforce territory again http://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/reviews/video/matrox_g400marvel/ here is a detailed review of the G400 TV - I'm thinking of getting one myself Or maybe the next generation version ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!

well just don't your hopes up to high :0 They probably don't look as good as you think they do I wanna get back to writing music, and there not enough hours in the day to do both graphics and music, plus I can make money from my music ccj

I think I'm getting my mental focus back... ccj

well there will be better things to tweak in the gold - and I'm looking forward to this ccj

I played the Sp demo some months ago - lasted 5 min on my HD ccj

To play ww2 like game - enter CM ------------------ CCJ aka BLITZ_Force My Hompage ----> http://www.geocities.com/coolcolj Double your immersion with my Tweaked Textures and Saving Private Ryan sound set mods for CM!!
