heres wwhat i got Is this what the PanzerGrenadier camo look like? ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

My German uniforms are actually just a grey - I might try the greener look. But The orangey camo of the SS troops bothers me, I don't think they were that bright. anyone have a pic to help me mod it properly? What do all the downloaders think of my Tweaked Uniforms? I think the Us ones look very good. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

YIPPE! Tweaked Uniforms is finished - the Pc version is now available from my website! 100k download Let me know what you think of them Berlichtingen would you like to do some conversion? ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

You can tweak you know I'm tweaking the smoke now...actually I quite like the smoke.... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I didn't change the trees - save you some work, but everything else is changed Not necessarily any pixels - but definitely the colours have been changed ACtually I should leave the trees out of the archive.... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-09-2000).]

BTS what about area fire with mortars? The fire power should be pretty much the same as normal targetting right? Since Mortars are pretty much area fire weapons anyway. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I second this notion! *thumbs up* ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Mr Cunningham WHy don't you show the left side of the stug DOH! The Texture is reversed mirrored WHat does that say on the Tiger? Yeah someone sent me some Das Reich badged AFVs a while back - can't remeber his name If your readng this please reply Not long now, till I finish the Tweaked Uniforms The flags aren't part of the Tweaked Texture sset yet, I'll make them available as a separate download along with my uniforms - give me a few days. If anyone has fully converted a Mac set of my Tweaked Textures and it looks ok, give me a buzz, and I'll make them available on my website ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-09-2000).]

Just wondering what the hit % for an area fire is, if there is a enemy unit hiding there? ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Yes its from the Beta demo, but with my Tweked Texture set - you can get the basic Texture Set from my website...not the uniforms, they still need some ironing out. Do what?! Grabbing a screen or tweaking the textures? To grab a screen press the Print SCreen button on you PC keyboard, loa dup a paint program and right clikc paste as new image - save it. To Tweak GFX - load up a paint program and load up the textures from the CM bmp directory. no artistic talent needed, but it helps ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Hi Thanks to Bill Carey's advice I tweaked all the Victory location flags to one design -see pic below...and believe me it adds to the FOW! You don't know who owns the flag, you just have to make sure you really have enough forces near it! I even scrubbed out the Morale and Victory names on the console area, but can't scrub out the % figures since they're overlayed by the game system If I could though,(readng this BTS? How about a extreme FOW option? ) the FOW would be even more enhanced! ALso I've tweaked the unifroms for a darker and dirtier look ala Saving private Ryan For those that think the uniforms are too clean and dapper, I'll have these tweaked textures up on my website as soon as I finish the German ones. All these screen snaps are done with my Tweaked Textures So the Tweaked Uniforms may not look good with the original Beta Demo textures - as always your mileage may vary Check the shots out.

Good idea! Actually I'll mod the flags I'll try scrubing out the morale % and victory % area - proably won't work as the numbers are over layed... Maybe BTS wiull have this a hardcore FOW option ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

You know what I would prefer that victory location be marked, but with no nationality flag! Think about it, you don't really know in the heat of a battle if you really control a victory location or not - I want extreme FOW.....no enemy morale % and victory % too. I want to kept guessing unitl the game ends! You'd be forced to defend all locations until the very end. I think this would add to the tension in the game - but I guess its too late now ...unless BTS has read my mind again and implemented it I guess not I mean having all these morale % and Victory % and flag colour showing is a tad gamey! ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-08-2000).]

Pity OpenGL looks so much nicer than D3D, and its faster too especially on TNT2 and geforce cards. Oh well.... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

I didn't think u guys would type how you speak I did a bit of rapping in my youth - they say I sound like a Ice T But I digress ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-08-2000).]

Yeah - its a zip file just chnage the .exe to .zip and unpack the contents to a directory of your choice - preserve the directories though. ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

hahahah ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

That translucent wall thingie is what I wanted all this tim e- but it never came to my mind to ask for it - BTS has esp! Finally building that actually look like buildings in the movies - Yippee What about enemy occupied buildings? DO they look the same? ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

You know what CM is the first game that I actually enjoy playing on the Allied side as well, hell its fun playing from any sides! I think my preference ffor the Axis side, stems from the fact that in other games, the Axis armour is way better - we'll it still is in CM, but the Allied tanks have a lot more realistic Panzer killing ability I remeber the firts time I played Last Defence, I though my Tiger was invincilble ... ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Punkrawk - 3d cards are dirt cheap now - got treat yourself - just buy a TNT2 chip card, 16 meg minimum. I have a Leadtek tnt2 16 meg card - no fills version (not an ultra version), works great - I do have a Pentium 3 500@573 mhtz though ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Ahhh - third game - and a wiser person, I totally killed the AI with a Total victory! He surrended! He only had 6 men left! I had two tanks - one with 1 STug/30 men kills, and the other with 1 STug/20 men! Very satisfying ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Steve That sounds exciting! The thing that bugs me is, does anyone here really analyse their units firepower, etc and use the best units for a move etc? I tend to us the closet unit, I don't even bother with checking kill info....I'm lazy I guess ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/

Man this is second attempt (no I haven't been playing CM everyday like some of you! ) - and its the second time the AI has handed me a lesson! Both times as the US This sceneraio is quite tricky in that the Germans have a lot more units, but of a lower quality, so you don't know if ya gonna win or not, until the very end. The first game I played, I suffered a decisive defeat! Basicly I pushed too far forward with my Shermans, and got hit with panzerfaust and schreck from all sides! I did manage to wipe all the STugs out. The second game - I knew what he had, so kept my SHermans slightly back. Basicly I was too scared to to take his Stugs head-on, so we basicly caned each others infantry for a few turns Until the AI wised up, buttoned up my tanks with his Mg, and then hull-downed with a STug picked off 2 SHermans by hunting forawrd shoot -kill, poping smoke, retreating and then popping up again at a different location! I finally manage to kill 2 STugs in an exchange, and then some hyper aggressive German units came charging at my Tanks , and took them out with Panzerfausts My buttoned tanks didn't see them coming! Now if only Close combat series was like this! SO I thought I was going to get schlacked, with his remaining STug causing my infantry all sorts of grief....but he got cocky and advanced it without infantry support to the flag nearest my side of the map. Unspotted my fresh bazooka squad crawled up to the edge of trees, and took it out from 80m with the first shot!! I then rushed my company HQ and 2 fresh units with full ammo to the far right flag on the road, and claimed a draw on turn 40 -which is probably a loss due to the bug as mention by BTS If it were an operation the battle would have ended at turn 30 for sure... I love it! ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-07-2000).]

ANdy!! I agree 100% with you I'm a lazy gamer, the less I do the more fun I get! I hate micromanagent witha capital "H". That's why I used to love those old SSG games, where you could control the Regiment HQ, and the AI would move the regiment's divisions around, with regard to your orders, posture and frontage settings. I guess I'm more of a movie watcher Tac AI is my best friend ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-05-2000).]

I got rid of a lot of the Cm stuff on my website - which I regret does anyone have the web pages sitting on their cache -could you email them to me as a view source -> save as txt in your browser I must say CM is certainly shaping up nicely from the look of the new screenshots ------------------ ------------------ CCJ BLITZ_Force My HomePage -----> www.geocities.com/coolcolj/ [This message has been edited by CoolColJ (edited 01-04-2000).]
