I rember stumbling upon at the middle of last year I was browsing at Cdmag, I came upon Scott Udell's preview. Needless to, the early Alpha GFX really intrigued me, being 3d and all (I was playing Close Combat 3 at that time ) I remeber posting some messages about it at CC3 Centre forums ANd the rest they say is history.... I haven't played CC3 since that fateful day I "preached" to Von Shrad at MSN ZONE of Combat Mission's features vs ASL [steve edited out some whacky CCJ HTML stuff that was messing up this thread ] ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

Fenris I always thought he said "Go, Go, Go!" Better safe than sorry - I can't understand German The only thing I put in was , Upum telling the Geramn to put their hands up _ I figured it make a good replacement for "drop your weapons - put you hands up" anyway it is finished! I just need to archive and upload it, and do some Html ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

Hey its about done, just tying up some odd bits Problem is - its huge! Like 10 megs big Well its really is worth downloading trust me - I'll split the files into 2-4 archives, so i can space them out over a few mirroe web sites Should be finished tommorrow.... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

Just wwondering how long can a operation go for? I 'd like to create a very very long one.. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo! Oh Yeah - listen to my music too!

As Comapassion said - the atmosphere these SPR sounds add is just amazing! SS_PL - the water explosion use the sam sound DOn't worry, SOme vehicle sounds have been changed, all scream too, most US voices, some Mg sounds, some explosions, if it sounded better, it was changed Almost finished

I went so far as to order duplicate sets for most of the modules when I heard they were going out of business. That must have cost a bit - you must really like it These boardgames aren't cheap. Have you ever played Axis and Allies. Pretty cool game,not much depth though. It is one game that my wife will play set in WW2. Shes not bad at it and can usually beat some of my friends, who hate losing to her. I played it a few times at my friends place, quite fun. It reminds me an old AMiga game I used to love called STorm Across Europe, funny thing is, with all this cpu power, the Amiga game is way better! Tough AI too Im looking forward to those sound sets CCJ. Sounds pretty cool. You proably heard the preview now right? It was quite difficult today - I had to go trhough the whole moview and pick and choose sound bites It required a lot of lateral thinking, trimming words off phrases to make something that was right for CM Not all the sounds are accurate, I don't think there was a.50 cailbre fire in that movie? So I just subsitute something that sounded close ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

73) A nice Sung Hi Lee texture set....hmmmm gives me an idea... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo! Oh Yeah - listen to my music too!

Compassion - Well you either like it dark (original) or bright like mine! But I love my US infantry uniform textures and the FOW flags! They're separate from the Tweaked Textures. Yes its amazing how different the game feels with the new sounds! Its awesome!!! I having so much fun with CM and those 3 scenarios! But I ggotta get back to finishing them off ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

I must say my installation of Combat Mission, sure doesn't look or sound anything like the original! I can't even remeber what the original Beta Demo looks like.... But my version sure is immersive

Hey after I finish my SPR sound set I'll play ya - I haven't played a single proper PBem Yet! ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo! Oh Yeah - listen to my music too!

OK!! Hop over to my webpage for a preview of SPR soundset!!! Enjoy! Its only 60% complete - but its like playing SPR Only thing is the German rifles use the same sounds as the US Carbines Compassion - I love Wavelab for chaining plugins in real time and the mp3 encoder works great. I don't do that much sound mutating in wavelab - good for mastering like you said. Doug - good idea Might do a ROFL soundset MadMAtt - drop me an email Not really about sound quality . Well I'm a really into sound engineering and I'm a bit of an audiophile so, I can hear thing smost people wouldn't care for! BUt the SPR sounds really do add something extra, they have a nice ambience that studio recording can't get and it really does make you feel like your playing the movie ! I'm trying to find a replacement for that hull penetration sound... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

"CoolColJ's secret sound sweetner combo." is a combo of plug-ins in my sound editing program called Wavelab v3.0 - comprises - DC cut > normaliser > Tube sound plug-in > AIPL Warm tone plug in > Time works mastering Compressor > DC cut > 16 bit dither with noise quantising = finished enhanced sound If you understood all the above, you know something about sound mixing Mac version - I'm not sure how mac sound is done, aiff ? sound files? THey are all Wav files in the PC version, if someone lets me know what format it is, I can convert them no probs I'm nearly finished - Hopefully in 12 hours time they'll be on my website. I didn't replaced the German voices, since I can't undertand them , and there are 2 US voices I left in, since I couldn't find a SPR replacement But any existing sounds have been enhanced. there are some interesting Hand 2 Hand combat sounds in there 2 ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

I don't have asl - I only have SL, but can't find the damn box Manual was a good read from memory...I put all my boardgames into storage, got a few classics in there I never played anyone in SL, I just tend to buy Boardgames to fiddle around with - crazy huh. Except the soltaire WW2 squad game from Victory Games..... Well Cm will fix that up BTW I am working on a Saving Private Ryan Sound set for the CM beta demo - works really well too ! Will be availble from my website when I finish it. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ Check out my Tweaked Textures for the CM Beta Demo!

Anybody interested in a Saving Private Ryan Sound Set for CM Beta demo? I spent all day yesterday sampling all the cool sounds from SPR. I did a rough test today with 50% of the sounds in , and damn does it sound and play nice! Some of the original Beta sounds are there, but I replaced most with some nice SPR sounds, like the MG42 and .30 Calibre. I also replaced all the Cheesy US voices with some appropriate SPR ones Get ready to relive the movie in CM! Just gotta clean up the samples and run them through CoolColJ's secret sound sweetner combo Seriuosly adds to the immersion....a perfect compliment to my tweaked textures and uniforms CCJ My Website - www.geocities.com/coolcolJ Check out my Tweaked textures for CM demo and my music too [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-17-2000).]

I certainly see the difference between refresh rates! Especially since anything above 85 htz dulls the screen somewhat, and gets slightly fuzzy. Also there is a huge difference between 30 and 60fps! I noticed this in Half Life where you can set the max fps - when I set it to 30 its jerky as heel, and bad for eyes :0 at 60 creamey smooth, there is evena subtle difference between 50 and 60 fps, but above 60 you can't notice any difference. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I just did 1600x1200@60htz at 32 bits -that's all I can do with my SOny 17 inch . Very useable! Well my SOny 17inch FD is very sharp, so I could read all the writing, every thing was nice and clean , no jaggies (well on a 17inch you want see any jaggies at 1600x1200!) - it wasn't that much slower on my normal TNT2 16 meg card, although 573 mhtz helps It is slightly more jerky, maybe running at about 35-40 fps? It still moves around the screen smoothly though - I could use it no probs! But it doesn't look that much better than 1152x868 on my 17 inch. You'd need a 19 or 21 incher to really notice. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

that reminds me, maybe I need to hook up to the ZONE tonight and try some more preaching You never know, Hasbro just might bring out ASL on the PC, I heard they would going to do it. Now coding AI for that would be pretty difficult I'd imagine, but it would be nice....no more rule book and charts, and fumbling with counters. Yeah being able to make your own maps easily ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-15-2000).]

Von Shrad - that was a long time ago, damn I had some good memories of that night. Yeah I was on-line just to talk! Because ever since the ZOne changed its software, I couldn't get CC3 to hook with anyone at the ZOne SO that was the last time I was there too. I was preaching the CM gospel Yeah it was me under the name of BLITZ_Force, my online CC3, Half-life etc nick Kinda makes me sad - sniff - nice memories, thanks for refreshing my memory Now I never got to chat to ya after that night about CM. So I guess you read all the info, hung out on this forum, downloaded the demo when it came out. Right? So what are your impressions now, re ASL, did all of what I said to you about CM, turn out how you imagined it to be in CM? Its just like a school reunion ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/
