    Screenshot Utility

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    I assume those that are posting all the great shots in the various CM sites are using a screenshot util. Can anyone recommend one (hopefully freeware/shareware) that I can download?

    Thanks in advance...

    Press the Print Scrn key. Then Esc out of CM. Then Open Photoshop (or another equivalent program). Then open a new document. Then click paste. Finally, press Save.

    Hope this helps.

    Beginning Turn Question

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    I can understand where you're coming from, CEO, but is it really worth it? A few seconds at the beginning of the battle and that's it. Charles would basically have to reprogram units to behave differently in that one specific circumstance.

    Just assume that your guys haven't been sitting there for half an hour - they've just moved up from the rear, and they're just being issued with orders, so the command delay is no big deal.

    Well, it is a big deal when my 4 armored cars get smoked in the first few seconds on the first turn because they are not in the process of hauling ass. Oh well, I guess I can just consider it an ambush or something. Or I'll just have to try and find a spot where no one can see me (not always an option).

    AI Vehicle Movement

    I just checked this to be sure but my tanks (and the AI's) dont hesitate but are immediately in motion at the begining of a turn where they had orders to move a distance that was not complete after 60 seconds. Are you sure you arent just seeing tanks that have halted?

    Are these your tanks too and are you adding continuous waypoints or just adding new commands to an existing command chain? If the later then after each waypoint the normal command delay will occur.

    It was me vs. the AI. It seemed that after the end of every turn the tanks/half-tracks would just stop and they would not be in motion the next turn.

    I'll try another scenario to verify.

    AI Vehicle Movement

    I don't know if this is intentional or not, but has anyone else notice that if an AI tank is cruising around at the end of the turn (and he looks like he'll keep moving), when the next turn starts, they are stopped? Is this a bug, or is this designed in for some reason? I would think they would keep on moving, yes? no?

    I am using Ver. 1.04.

    If you are trying to do anything other than this or Ambushing, you are (according to the veteran and his studies) using it incorrectly. It is not a general purpose offensive weapon, rather something good for a rather easy to hit, but tough, target.

    Yeah Berli, you better listen to this one.

    What's the FUNNIEST stuff that has happened to you?

    I must say the funniest thing I ever saw, I was playing an op... I ordered one of my jeeps to run down a road at high speed for recon. Well, unfortunately, sed road was mined. The poor little jeep plowed full speed into a mine field and exploded with a catastrophic explosion, then CONTINUED down the road, setting off 3-4 MORE minefields, including 2 more catastrophic explosions... needless to say I'm sure there wasn't much left of the jeep when it stopped rolling...

    nope, the poor fool never got out.

    But he gave me good recon, he found 4 of the enemy minefields all by himself

    lol

    Berli's Defeats

    in Combat Mission Archive #2 (2000)

    Posted

    As the Subject says (yes Berli, I have to brag just a little) please post if you have defeated the great Berli. I bested him in a little infantry fight. All that was left were dead German Paratroops littering the field of battle. His "crack" troops were bested by those good ol', all American "regular" G.I.'s.

    (I will admit Berli, you sure got the flamethrowers in under my nose; that church going up in flames was cool!)

    Now I am PISSED!!! (Three F@#$%ng !!! for Madmatt). I ordered MONTHS before that, and my card was charged the 15th, and STILL NO CM!!!!! WHAT THE HELL GIVES? I am usually a patient person, but really. I've ordered things many times via the 'net, and they usually get to me with a week at the most. My email of 3 days ago to BTS is still unanswered. Can someone please help?

    Did not recieve it. I pre-ordered around the same time as the Cap'n. I DID receive my credit card statement and it says BTS charged $99.00 on 6/15/2000. Even if it didn't get shipped until the 21st, it should still be here.

    I am not very PO'ed, lets just say more important things have come up (sorry BTS). (Must......suppresss......urge......to....put.....smilie......oh hell, sorry Mr. Peng) biggrin.gif
