That is nothing compared to how sluggish it gets when your have a map of 1500x3000 points with a slope coming from 200 to 5 and want to create a hill of lets say 100 in the middle. Then it will take about 95 mouse clicks (x3 sec.) to change the ground level from 5 to 100 :mad:

It may be a side effect of what I would like to call a tremendous bad written keyboard interface but tabbing on the +/- keys for setting the level of terrain is VERY time consuming to say at least.
Hence, for that reason it would be a great help if it was possible to enter that level directly using an inputbox instead!

This is an observation using a very low performance rig.
After following my friend Cougar's advice I loaded up the first battle of Abu Susah.
I panned over the battlefield using my mouse and every thing was cool and smoothy. Then I used my keyboard's wasd keys together with the arrows - I can only say don't do that!
Ok - Mouse works fine and I wont comment further into the details using the keyboard.
Panning over the battlefield is smooth so I ordered the first two IFV's to make a bracket right heading for the far most right facility.
To cover their left flank I then gave the orders for the next IFV's to move forward and start supressing the moské from the center.
I moved two of my IFV's to the left using the small dirt track. Then I put them on huntmode and set a path from my far most left towards the city. They soon came under fire.
To even up the pressure on my far left and right I needed to act quickly. I gave the ordres for the IFV in front of the Moské to bracket right and pull heavy fire on it.
Then I forced my two IFV's at my right forward to
extract their troops - ordering them to assault the buildings just to the right of the settlement - asking them to suppress the heavy enemy inf at their left.
The surroundings was heavealy defended.
We managed to take those buildings but it was costly. One of the IFV's was taken out and we lost most of a platoon as well.
On my far left we managed to silent two strongholds but unfortunally heavy crossfire from the right flank immoblised one and destroyed another.
I ended up with having nothing to push further with - the game beats me. Not a big supprise but what a swell of a gamingnight I had

Fraps slowing down FPS in CM:SF
I do not know how you wanner measure your performance but I tell you this - Fraps slow your game to the degree of unplayable!
As Razer has been keeping on telling - hands of keyboard! Absolutely no use of wasdqe. Use mouse for panning and your lmb or rmb for zooming your camera!

Playable with hands off keyboard and mouse only meaning only minior use of wasdqe keys.
In general my keyboard is unuseable. It's feels like any keystroke just filling up a buffer with a thremendous delay as result.
Anyway the game is playable when using mouse only for zoom and panorama. Use Ctrl+lmb to center on units also works fine.
3D Texture set to fastest
Panning using mouse is fluent but in some degree slowen when units are displayed.
Programs like Fraps got a greate negative impact on FPS!

Copy that Razer. Thankfully the nearest EB store are 40 miles north of my HQ
If it was any closer I'll purchase a second copy just to get my sweaty hands on the box

Confirmed.
I called my local EB games store in DK and they also haves it for sale.
However - I'll wait for the download to be released.

Thx but I located my problem. My PSU is only a small 230W. Running a new CUSL2 mainboard, Geforce and all the other stuff on that board drained my PSU! A fellow from Steel Beasts forum noticed I got low-frequency noise when running RW, Teamsound and Battle com. Gotta be a overloaded PSU! No juice for my Geforce! Turn on my On-board i850 - every thing is cool! Need to replace PSU and possible the Geforce.
Kind regards

Rgr Rune. You forced me to reinstall my old driver v6.31 - which is good. This driver turn my cursor into a big erazor! This was my initially problem so now I know this issue is driver related. Where can I download a driver in between? What driver do you use?
Thanks for replying
Kind regards

Hi
After installing Nvidia 12.41 and Dx8.0 - CM does not detect any 3D support but the software.
Only 640x800 in software mode is possible.
What to do?
I got Asus CUSL2,
256 megs,
Aureal Votex,
Geforce 256/32megs
CM v 1.12
Kind regards

Thank you for all your kind replies.
The purpose of this forthcomming weekend is to try CM tcpip on LAN and for us to meet some of our new friends whom we only know from pbems.
The initial steps for this meeting took place only a month ago with the overall objective to keep it simple and in a tight community. As time went by we got space for a few more players which initiated this probe.
Thereby my sincerely apology for giveing the impression that this is a national net meeting.
As stated - this session is kept in a small community but if we find that CM function well as a LAN game we might consider trying this out in a bigger scale.
From my perspective, the bad news is that a quick survey counted lesser than 20 active danish players. This statement is based on the count of Danish members active on this forum and by the count of Danish players enlisted on the tournament websites. However, the idear of joining a CM Netcon together with SB and the forthcomming Flashpoint into a big WarCon is not far away and if a joint event with Sweeden and Germany could be establish the fundament of a big scale NetCon is taking shape. My intension is to make a travel to Germany this spring and to join up with some of my CM friends there for the purpose of setting up a network dealing with this matter.
Kind regards

We are a bunch of Danish CM gamers (Some of us has been playing since May 2000) gathering up for a net contest this forthcoming weekend. If you are in the neighbourhood (Sweedish players aswell) please feel free to join us. Session will be kept 20 miles north of Copenhagen.
Sorry for the interruption - keep up the good spirit.

It is kind of an Urban legend that CM originally was meant to be a computerized version of ASL. I wounder however what rulebook is to be found beneath the hood of CM. Did BTS create their own or are they inspired from someone known as ASL or The Battleground from Easy Eight?
This is a odd question I know but we are a few that got our inspiration from CM to try out Miniauture gaming.
Which Miniauture rules get close to CM?

Two U.S. absentee ballots turn up in Denmark
November 13, 2000
Web posted at: 8:18 a.m. EST (1318 GMT)
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (CNN) -- Two absentee ballots from the U.S. presidential election have turned up in the mailbox of a family on the Danish island of Fyn, the Danish newspaper Fyens Stifttidende reports.
A family in Odense, Fyn's main city, discovered the two Washington state absentee ballots over the weekend, mixed with some material they had ordered from a company in the United States.
At first the family thought they had received some additional advertising, so they opened one of the envelopes. To their surprise, they found an American presidential ballot marked for George W. Bush.
One of the ballots was cast by a man from Bellevue, Washington, who said he didn't know how his vote ended up in Denmark.
The Danish newspaper quoted the American voter as saying he had no intention of pursuing the irregularity.
Bjarne Siewertsen of CNN.com Denmark contributed to this story.
So whom are the drunken lurker!!!

This is taken from modern tactic - BRAVOCOMPANY - 2-67-ARMOR BATTALION.
This is provided with Steel Beasts.
APPENDIX 8. RECONNAISSANCE
Fundamentals The Company will conduct various types of Reconnaissance during tactical operations. These include recon in preparation for other tactical operations, or reconnaissance as a tactical operation in itself. The various types of Recon that the Company needs to be proficient at include Leaders Reconnaissance, Dismounted Tactical Reconnaissance, Route Reconnaissance, and the Forward Reconnaissance Detachment (FRD). Along with rehearsals, reconnaissance is one of the fundamentals of tactical success.
All reconnaissance activities are concerned primarily with gaining information, and not in fighting the enemy. Sometimes a specific piece of information is sought by the recon force, and this may have to be fought for, but this is not generally the case.
Often while on a recon the chance to inflict disproportionate damage on the enemy, or to seize a fleeting opportunity may be exploited, but the general rule is to avoid contact, as once contact is gained the recon element is no longer gaining information.
The normal purpose of any reconnaissance operation is to “pull “the main effort along the route of least resistance instead of merely being pushed out to locate the enemy. The Recon focus is on locating a weak spot and how to exploit it, not determining the layout of a strongpoint. Some additional fundamentals and techniques of reconnaissance include:
- Report accurately and rapidly
- Negative contact is as important
to report as enemy contact
- Retain freedom of maneuver
- Don’t hesitate to dismount and walk a
little bit
- Listening is as important as looking
This is a quote from modern tactic but IMHO it would be build uppon many years of actually combat experience including the WWII.

Rebane - Thx for starting this thread. Yo see, ever since I began to play CMPBEM my Alcohol Consumption has gone way up. My contribution in this matter goes way back (just attend to the subject Hi There!! I'm a drunk lurker!!!!) Eventhough that I try to get hold of myselfe I am often encouaged by some of my fellow PBEM opponents like Grognerd_Fogman! Just take a look at what he had just send me: 'Don't worry, I'm breaking out the whiskey for this next turn...lol
Grognerd_Fogman'

Maybe this thread should be delegated to all of us who started our drinking because of CM.
IMHO, CM2 should encourage the use of Joysticks for the purpose of giving orders! This way I would be left with only one hand and that one is for fags!

This may sound stupid at first but if CM goes TCPIP we all want to know how to find our opponents - don`t we? If you for a moment forget all about CM-Web and concentrate on CM-LAN - yo know where I'am going. There may be a possibility that somebody in your nightborhood is playing CM - why not invite her!
So - what about the ability to search for something like '*.de' or '*.fr' or '*.uk'
Put some pressure on UBB on this one - please! We need it ASAP!

AI setupzones and plans?
in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
Posted
I've done what I think of being a thremendous hard work setting up deploymentzones, AI-plans, groups etc. When testing I've discovered that most of the ai's dont start in their designated deploymentzone!
I may have got it all wrong but could you please provide me with a status of the editor and ai-plans especially for the red side since I dont care for any tests regarding blue. Can the editor be thrusted, is there any know problems, does the plans works bothsided?
best regards
