Darwin

Here's something from a Scott Udell article on CM from a while ago It would be cool if after the release you guys could put up some really old pics and comments about the direction at the time type chronology kind of article type thing

Most excellent news Having watched the game grow and change since it was supposed to be a computer squad leader, I am extreemely happy to see it's impending release and am also very happy for Steve and Charles. Soon you guys will be able to have some leisure time, hopefully on us

Is there a limit to the amount of fire going on at one time? could I for instance light half the map on fire?

Yeah, I can handle the long wait for the most part but when operations are talked about I get so freacking anxious. Am very much hoping CM will fulfill my campaining desires for a while.

I went to show my buddie the weasel pic and was suprised to see that page has been updated to inslude 2 video's of it in action, Steve joyriding across the frozen landscape

Cool link

Old thread I read "band of brothers" recently and enjoyed it. Am trying to read "the rise and fall of the third reich" still. Although it is chocked full of info and well written I find myself prejudiced from the knowledge of what Hitlers doings caused and reading about him and his cronies in such depth makes me a bit ill.

pardon that. Time fuses for artillery has been gone over quite a bit on this forum. Play with the search a bit and you are certain to find a trove of information on it. Also try CMHQ, I believe they have a good article about CM's artillery there. [This message has been edited by Darwin (edited 03-16-2000).]

Q-vo sabe's mi espanol es conocido de la frontera (Baja California, Mexico) tal vez es un poco differente de los de espana o sur america pero si lo hablo bastante. Bienvenidos a todos.

I'm thinking small, real small as in take the farmhouse kind of thing. Will leave the historical creations to those with the resources.

I had fun with chaos gate, but then again I think warhammer stuff is neato and it did only last one full campaign on my HD. SAW lasted about half the campaign on my HD. Anyways even though it's not going to be what we all want it could very well turn out to be fun. (xcom and jagged alliance are definite favorites of mine)

You ever try Fuji film? I prefer it as it I know what I'm getting. Kodak has it's film made in something like 12 different countries and as such the quality is not consistent (sometimes good, sometimes not). Have fun on your adventure

That's the stuff bullethead, try to guess where I heard about it I hope you got rich from whatever accident you had blood, one of life's endless joys... Rulz is off to college, dont forget your jimmyhat, get some for the rest of us

I was just sitting here thinking about all the changes in my life since I started the wait for CM. Kind of throws a little perspective on things. I've moved 3 times, almost got married, went into heavy depression over the breakup, I've completed my study of Japanese (at least my formal education of it) and moved on to computer studies, I've gotten interested in others games and completed many of them, I've been to Japan (again) and Thailand, changed jobs, changed schools, went from an avid mountain biker to a basketball player to a lazy-good-for-nothing gamer, had several new years parties, been introduced to la fin du monde, etc. Imagine that, life continues even though CM hasn't arrived.

I see the webwasher has several options two of which are version 1.2.2 and the 2.0 beta. is anyone here using the 2.0 beta? would you recomend it over the 1.2.2 version? Has anyone had any problems with the software?

oops, was meant for the ranking thread but seems to apply here as well.

Sheesh, this stuff just never ends...

I've had that happen. I cant be sure that he didn't send me the wrong file but as I was his only pbem opponent I dont see how. Anyways for me it happened around turn 6 or 7. we went back a file and now it's working fine...

I know a few guys using phone modem's and roger wilco. I don't know at what speed they connect but I bet it would work. Roger wilco is kind of fickle though, generally it works great for me but there are a few people that I just cant get it to work well with ( i hear them fine but everything I send gets garbled ) As to it's increasing lag, not sure about that. If you're having trouble getting dropped from games at start up closing RW wouldn't be a bad idea as well as closing the main lobby. I dont think it contributes lag to ongoing games though (not sure). So Bamse, when do you play? I will keep an eye out for you. I have my "Darwin" account for reg games and "Gimli son of Gloin" that I play open with, either of which would be happy to play with you

Bamse, I'm in FRC (force recon) and like it. Have been told however by lower ranks that we (officers of FRC) are snobby. Don't know about that but we do have fun. If you'd like we can play some open games together and see if we click. From there getting you in would be a snap. p.s. get roger wilco for free at resounding.com so we can have direct verbal communications.

Peter, go to the battlefront.com page and click on the button on the left side of the screen that says "notify" you will be put on the mailing list and can thus be a hermit confidently assured that you will be notified.

Regarding the advising of release date info hint 2: battlefront homepage

in regards to your various statements, 1) Maybe I'm not understanding the situation you describe but I havent had a problem there. generally there is a reason for their lag in responding to your command. you're aware of the command structure in the game right? 2) Not a problem, can allways be better though. Dont pretend to know so much that I discount BTS's methods of design, they seem to be doing an excellent job to me. 3) HMG's are tripod mounted weapons, don't see a problem here. 4) Can allways be improved but are functional now, not a problem for me. 5) Disagree in that I dont think it needs excessive screaming at all. I do agree in that I think the beta sound needed work with the exception that I am more interested in CM as a wargame than as a visceral feast.

Who said we have nothing more to talk about these days, this thread is entertainment at it's finest IMHO hint one, navigational tool

So your asking for additional code to figure out if when the guy gets shot he gets back inside or if he slumps over leaving himself exposed, and then to show you if your within a certain distance that yes he is dead? Not worth it at the level of scale/abstraction of CM IMO.
