Been there...done that. However, they aren't redrawn uni's, just enlarged and sharpened and hi-contrasted.

It's not quite ready yet..gotta do proper documentation and all that good stuff.

I do have a full-bodied camo Fallschrimjager set. Hi-Res and Hi-Contrast. Haven't done a winter version of it yet though.

Hey you soldiers, you guys made me do it! Lately I've been seeing screenshots pop up with my ancient winter US uniforms. I just couldn't take it anymore! So I'm releasing my ALL NEW v2.1 set to your favorite CM mod website. See third paragraph below. Some of you may already have these new uniforms via email, but you'll probably wanna get these new versions because I tweaked them slightly. Currently there is only a Comparison page up on Gary's site, but they will hopefully be posted on CMHQ by Christmas (crossing my fingers). I have more of these to come, so be prepared to get a total uniform set make-over. Commonwealth winter uniforms will be next followed by new Heer/Gerbirgsjager and SS winter uniforms. Oh yeah, the comparison page is located here. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 12-19-2000).]

Yeah I just saw it in the store today. It's not called B-17 II though, it's called B-17: The Mighty Eighth. Actually according to that article B-17 Flying Fortress II is not the same game.

That's it! A downed Fighter-Bomber. Although I have never seen it happen.

Umm, don't mean to spoil y'all's fun here, but what exactly is the purpose of all this??? Pic just looks like another artillery explosion to me with maybe, MAYBE something dead under it....

I am saying no graphics to represent some occurence is better than a completely unrelated graphic. Jeff Heidman<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I don't get it Jeff, I usually agree with what you say, but saying that this expanding dome is a "completely unrelated graphic" is the biggest bunch of crap since the jack-ass said that the tracer graphics looked stupid. They *are* supposed to represent shockwaves. If you don't have enough of imagination to see that, then well, I feel for ya. I mean *what would* you like to see for a concussion wave? Explain. Remember to take into account of current hardware limitations.

I agree, I had the same incident when I had a platoon sneak advance towards a known location of an SS squad. The SS squad started firing at one of my squads, but the other two squads kept sneaking past the SS squad. Luckily time ran out and I immediately stopped them so they would return fire the next turn.

OK, did someone say "bad tracer graphics" and that CM needs more polishing to bring in greater sales? Com'on Jeff, you're starting to sound like the guy that started the "Bad tracer graphics" thread.

Yeah USGrant has a point. Retreat logic could be tweaked a little more.

The most important thing is to NOT play it like a C&C style RTS game. The AI will kick your ass if you do. You have to use real world tactics. This means running from cover to cover, over-watch covering fire (leap frogging) use flanking manuevers when possible. Just a note though... Instead of Sherman Easy-Eights, buy Sherman Jumbos if you can. They can take frontal shots from Panthers all day long.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Spii: Maximus where are you hi-res uniforms hosted? i will gladly add them to my collection.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> They're not. I've had to email them by request. But EACH uniform is roughly 500K zipped or more due to the 365K torso file. I've got'em zipped in individual uniforms. I'll put them on my page when I'm ready to publish it.

....or maybe its just the only mistake BTS has made all year. (As my father would say.)

Jeff Heidman, With all due respect...were you around before the Gold Demo v1.02? If not, then these domes were all we had before the v1.01 patch. Yes, the v1.01 patch to the full game which came out even as the first shipment was being shipped. And as for the fire and smoke graphics...you should have been around for the Beta Demo. Believe me, these areas have come alot way since then. Check this picture out for the Beta Smoke. And this picture for pre-v1.01 explosions.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by JAZZA: there's three bmp's 1204,1205,1206, that look like flame of some sort,I'm pretty sure they aren't part of the explosion bmp's.Maybe these are the one's for the fire diamond or they could be for the flamethrowers.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That's what I meant. Either the fire diamond or the flamethrowers which I didn't even think of. Actually I think those graphics could be a little redder. Anybody think they could redden it up a bit. I have some filters that could automatically apply to them, but I'm not sure how'd they look.

My question is, what games do you have and still play that only run in Glide??? The only one I bought in the last 2 years like that was Red Baron 3D and with my nVidia card I was stuck in software mode. So that puppy was quickly removed from my HDD. Then sent to a Pawn Shop.

They have been known to send out emails when a new patch is out.

I tried Fallout 2, but could never get very far in it.

Interesting few segments detailing US tank development between wars, though. The show just started again. First ran at 7:00 CST and is now on again at 11:00 CST.

Yep, Juju is correct. The transparent dome is the original graphic and is hard-coded. Same for the white transparent sphere around tank gun shots. However, I think the fire diamond within a tank shot is modable. I can't recall the bmps, but I remember seeing some bmps that I couldn't quite figure out what they were for, but now after thinking about it, I think that's what they're for. Wrong again, Rob. Please be a little more informed next time.

Anybody seen the latest FALLOUT incarnation: FALLOUT Tactics??? It's a squad-based X-Com style RPG. Mission-based in the humor-filled FALLOUT world. Actually looks pretty cool.

Did someone say "Monty Python 2000 pounders"???

Hey look! It's "Achtung Spitfire" or is it "Over the Reich"?
