    O/T - AI Wars

    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 smile.gif

    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 biggrin.gif You get to upgrade your computer buy new software and then hack into systems etc smile.gif

    CM2 preview and a gorgeous new TTv2.0 Wallpaper!

    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! biggrin.gif) 1280x960

    Feedback please smile.gif

    Tweaked Textures v2.0 Status

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    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! biggrin.gif 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 frown.gif But finally BTS has fixed this smile.gif I'm happy - 2 thumbs up! tongue.gif

    Now all we need now is mipmapping.... smile.gif

    BTS, are you going to include an Operation in the Gold Demo?

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    In my opinion, there is no need for scenarios for the gold demo

    Just one Operation should be enough! biggrin.gif

    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.

    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 wink.gif

    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 biggrin.gif 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.

    Cm's problem is not AA- although that will help, playing at high res just about cures the jaggies smile.gif 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 frown.gif

    Man you gotta learn to build your own PC wink.gif Its lots of fun, and you get the machine of your choice, and cheaper too if you buy everything from OEM dealers etc.

    Tweaked Textures v2.0 Status

    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 smile.gif 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! biggrin.gif 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 wink.gif In between Cm gaming sessions and music writing - I'll wait till the honeymoon period is over before I tackle this mega task smile.gif

    Off course if you live in my city you are welcome to hop over for a autographed CDR tongue.gif

    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 smile.gif

    The beta is dead wink.gif - I suggest you people erase the beta demo from your HD and clear your thoughts for the impending Gold demo biggrin.gif

    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 wink.gif I'm after nothing short of maximum grogish realism smile.gif

    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 tongue.gif

    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 smile.gif

    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 biggrin.gif

    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 biggrin.gif sorry

    Anyway when the gold demo comes out - you will most likely forget about my textures and most probably never need them wink.gif

    Ok then,

    so Zimmerit is the wrong suggestion. I was only trying to point out that some textures make the tanks look 'plastic'. The Jagdtiger in the front is a good example of a 'life like texture'. Drool tongue.gif

    THats becuase they are biggrin.gif I believe they were digitised from tank models tongue.gif

    GeForce Question

    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 wink.gif 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 biggrin.gif

    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 smile.gif

    here is a detailed review of the G400 TV - I'm thinking of getting one myself smile.gif Or maybe the next generation version
