I do like the colour of the web gear on your models. The beards just don't look right since most nations banned beards from combat soldiers (except British pioneers, German mountain troops, etc.) because, officially, it interfered with the fit of anti-gas equipment and the seal of the gas mask. Like you cared!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Again you are confusing two mods with one. The face mods are something entirely different. Those have been on CMHQ since early last Fall. Go tell the author of that mod that his beards are banned. Anyway, if your uniforms are labeled as New British Uniforms with the zip file BritUniforms.zip then they are there. If not, then they haven't posted them yet. However, I have finally found a way to tan out the textures. I have done a desert Universal Carrier and the Duece and a Half.

Now if you're referring to the uniforms at the DFDR site now, well umm, I thought they were way too bland. Just like English cooking, if you know what I mean.

Hey that's great, I can mask cut and paste those mountains on all the rest of the skies as well.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by bfamily33: Maximus: Can you turn the sleeves up and give them some of Bermuda shorts? Maybe give their skin a real nice tan too. Am I obnoxious yet?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Actually I was thinking about extending the flesh color up the sleeve a bit, but with the way the 3D model is made it wouldn't look right.

This is the main reason why I absolutely HATE QBs in CMBO right now. The map dimensions totally suck. Big long wide map with very narrow no-man's-land. In fact those dimesnions lead to the very opposite of good strategy tactics. Isn't the best strategy to concentrate your forces to break through a weakpoint rather than than trying to defend or attack over a W I D E front?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by kmead: Maximus, this is not a challenge nor a time to begin the general flame war you are always hankering for on this subject. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Oh com'on. you know I gotta get in on this. :mad: I don't know what the ratio is between the two user platforms, but just take a look at the Tech Forum and count the number of threads about "Getting CM to run on a Mac". I'd say at least 8:1 are about people with Macs having problems getting CM to run without locking up. Tell ya something? It's funny how CM was designed on a Mac, but yet it seems the platform has stability problems if you don't have the correct combination of OS, Game extensions, Sound extensions, etc, etc. Makes ya wonder doesn't it. Windows may have its own stability problems of its own, but what makes up for it is Microsoft's DirectX API. You see DirectX takes care of all of the hardware and software issues itself. Kinda like a software plug-in-play if you will. DirectX makes sure that your sound and video cards are automatically configured for whatever program you are running. Or actually vice versa. No longer are PC users forced to manually configure their games to their hardware, ie setting IRQs, IO Addresses and DMA channels. Install the game and DirectX takes care of the rest. I laugh to myself when I see threads on how Mac users have such a hard time getting CM to run without locking up after 10 seconds into the game. For as stable of a game and being designed on a Mac as CM is, kinda makes you wonder why Mac users seem to have most of the problems. So yes, your 500 MHz Mac maybe faster than a PIII-800, so what. At least the PIII-800 doesn't lock up. But then again, lets look at this speed benchmark. To me, we're talking the difference between 3DFx cards and Nvidia cards. Yes the 3Dfx cards (Voodoo 3 family and under) were faster, but their image quality sucked. Nvidia cards (TNT2 and under) were slower, but they had better image quality and could display all of those "special" features that CM required for full effects like Fog & Transpariencies. That's the way I look at the speed difference between Macs and Windows. With Mac's limited Graphic File capacity, Mac users are generally limited to low-res mods or very few hi-res mods. With Window's BMP folder, it doesn't matter how big that folder gets. So as long as you have a good video card and a decent CPU and memory, CM will run just fine and look pretty too. So sure CM will run faster on a Mac will a majority of low-res textures installed. So what's your point? Load up a Mac with a bunch of hi-res textures and let's just see how fast it runs. So which one is better? I'm not sure. But I'd buy a PC before I'd take a Mac as a gift.

*Bump*

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Feldgrau: O.K., I admit failure....How did you manage to make the image appear? It doesn't show up at all in my post (at least at my computer...)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You had a teeny tiny spelling error in your tag. You had M3A1.jpeg instead of just M3A1.jpg. Anyway, am I going to be seeing a beta copy of this mod soon? Maximus

UnfortunatelyI can only satisfy one person a day. TODAY isn't your day. TOMORROW isn't looking good either.

Well this is my feable attempt at starting a PENG thread. This inspiration came from all the wanna-be PENG threads on the first page of the Forumm now. So anyway, you all are a bunch of sons of a motherless goat!

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Manx_CM: Yes, that's all very well, BUT!...do they match the base!?? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well Manx, you decide.

Gents, I have just whipped up a new set of Brit uniforms for the DFDR TC mod. I based this set off of Magua's '44 Tommies, so I hope Magua will be OK with this as I did give him credit in my readme. Basically all I did was to increase the brightness and contrast of the dark brown uniform ONLY by masking out the straps and equipment. Sorry I don't have a pic to show right now, but hopefully Clubfoot or MikeT will get it up pretty soon. Oh, did I mention that I already fired it on over to them? So look for it soon on their website.

Hmm...I seem to remember other people posting "joke mods" in the past, but everyone seemed to GET their joke and laughs WITH them, not at them.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> OK, but what's funny about a neon green StuG? Now the "pink" Panther was funny. At least it came with some captions to carry the joke. Rob made no effort to make it a joke with what he had originally posted.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I wonder, could Eurowarrior JOTM Awards be retroactive? Like an Honorary Oscar? Gyrene[/QB]<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You mean this little Award?

Well, pretty much chalk that one up as "Won't be seeing the light of day on Manx's COMBAT MISSIONS". Looks great Rob, it'll go real good with your interface mod.

This is why I would not take an ATI card if GIVEN to me. Why does everybody discount Nvidia-based cards? They make the best cards out there. Both in image quality and in speed. ATI cards are good for about one thing. Video editing and TV-out. They really aren't made for 3D games.

Sorry ahead of time, but aren't Macs great?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by peckham: So what's the story? I have the internal weather options cranked to max. Is there something else I need to be doing?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yes, buy an Nvidia-based card. ATI cards are good for video editing and TV-out, but not much good for anything else.

Make him walk the plank! :eek: Just like every bloody scurry dog should do under terms of mutiny!

I have hereby dedicated this thread over on the Cossacks Forum for the Award Gyrene has created. I doubt that that thread will get locked as that Forum is very rarily moderated from what I gather.

Well, I'll tell you right now. Radeons don't support Fog Table Emulation. Which means you won't be able to see Fog in CM. I'd definately go with a Geforce. I've got a 64MB Geforce 2 GTS Pro Platinum and I love it. But you're board has to have an AGP Pro slot to use a AGP Pro card. And only some of the newest boards have AGP Pro slots, so you're probably stuck with a normal AGP card
