    diamond viper v770 problems

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Well, probably not much of a solution, but try disabling other programs running in the background. Especially Outlook Express. My computer locks up when I have them both running (I have the same card and drivers as you have), I've heard of another occasion, where the problem you mentioned was also described, also involving OE.

    It's probably just best to close the game when you're gonna do other stuff, and start it up again when you need it. Doesn't take that long! smile.gif

    Hope this helps.

    Mod Heaven; the best of both worlds: a dilemma explained.

    Hi all!

    I've been thinking about all of us being in "mod-heaven" real soon.

    I spot a dilemma coming up, though: so far all graphic mods I've seen were great.

    I'm not going to say, oh, I'll stick to this dude, or that artist.

    And there's probably more to come. Which ones to choose...? Oh, dilemma... I want it all!!!

    Now, you could install a mod-pack, see what it's like, then install another, see what that's like and then decide between the two.

    Not good enough, I hear you think. I want the best of both worlds!!!

    Here's what I'm going to do.(PC only, sorry...):

    - Find and install the image viewer "ACDsee3.01"

    - Extract your graphic mod into any directory.

    - Open ACDsee browser and select all mod BMP's

    - Right-click and select "Move to..."

    - In the following dialogue window enter the CM\BMP directory. Make sure to set the "when destination file exists:" option to "ask." Now hit enter.

    - Any graphic that already exists within the target directory will be displayed next to the proposed replacement. you can now see (within certain limits, like with vehicle skins) and decide which particular graphic you like best, and only install those!

    There you are: Instant mod-bliss! Personalized 'eye-candy' if you like...

    Have fun, Juju

    P.S. now, if you REALLY want it all, you could consider installing several copies on you computer. One for every mod-maker. biggrin.gif

    CM & The Art of Seduction

    Tonight I had a friend over as well. Now, this guy's never touched a WWII game in his life, nor will he ever. But I just sat him down to show off, and for the lack of an appropriate save file I just fired up VOT as Germans and let the game run its course for over 19 turns. He was totally impressed and really got into it. That really surprised me, since I know him quite well. I don't think he'll buy it, but it sure got him interested. biggrin.gif

    I also'd like to add that until the Panther arrived I didn't give any orders to my troops. I must say, they held up very well on their own! Medals to everyone of them that survived! smile.gif

    Isn't it about time Capt. Manieri gets awarded another one of his own awards?

    Turbo, no offence was meant at all. I actually hoped the "when everything's said and done" reference would put an end to this ongoing behaviour (grow up, Juju, grow up).

    To all: There's room enough on this board for all of us. Now, we may not like all of the others here. That's quite normal. There are some people here that even I dislike. However, I don't go around trying to piss them off for it. But if any of you want to get 'up-close and personal' with someone, fine by me. But next time, please just send them a frickin' email, but don't bother others on this board with it. Please?
