Yes, IIRC, that mod you speak of is on CMHQ in the 3rd Party mods.

Internal Armor Flaking could just mean that that interior armor is just starting to come apart. It doesn't necessarily mean that pieces are coming off and flying around.

Panzerfaust??? You mean Panzerschreck? The Panzerschreck is one of the hard-coded images in the game. The others are Bazookas, Piats, Infantry Mortars, Berrets, Tracers, AT-Projectiles, Grenades, Satchel Charges (Gammon Bombs). Hope this answers your question.

Not likely, they have more important things to do...like work on CM2.

I guess Mr. Mauser Markus isn't coming back to face the fire. Too bad. Since we all know that all demo players have all the answers.

Croda, OH ****! ROTFLMAO! That's the funniest ****** I've heard on this forum. (No pun intended)

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by joeski: Hi Mom! (Sorry for the rip-off but that was hilarious and this one is locked for sure) Now what color is a tracer? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I could have sworn I saw a Purple tracer once.

To fix this, you must install both Hi and Lo-Res grass sets. The Low-Res grass sets take care of the horizon grass. If necessary shrink the hi-res sets down into a low-res set. The hi-res set starts at 1550. The low-res set starts at 1500.

So unless he's smokin' somefink, he's lost it.

You'd rather have 2D sprites than 3D polygonal models??? That does not compute....must reach sanity before I blow a circuit....**BLAMMO**....too late....

Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob, Rob! I do play both sides, again I ask you to put down the drugs. The Allies FIRE yellow tracers. The Germans FIRE red tracers. It doesn''t make a hoop and a holler difference on which side you play! If you play the Germans, they will fire red, if you play against the Germans, the Germans will fire red. If you play the Allies, they will fire yellow. If you play against the Allies, the Allies will still fire yellow. How many different ways can I say this??? Maybe it's your glasses? Clean them or something. Maybe it is different from PC to Mac, but this is the first I've heard of it. Besides, IIRC, CMHQ ran a graphic feature WAAY back, even before the Gold Demo, detailing the different tracer graphics. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 12-15-2000).]

I suggest you put down the drugs Rob, indeed the Allies' tracers are ALWAYS yellow as is the Axis tracers ALWAYS red. Unless indeed, you are dyllexic. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 12-15-2000).]

I was like, OH BOY where to begin??? Nothing like an uninformed newbie coming in here and saying what he did.

Uh bub, did you happen to take notice on how many posts this board has? Over 150 THOUSAND! Since you are a brand new player, there is no need to really trash your arguments, but there are THOUSANDS of people playing and LOVING this game. And not making the all-time best sellers list? BTS sold-out of its initial stock of 2 months in just 2 weeks. The tracer graphics were done like this, red and yellow, so you can SEE them and so you can tell who's firing at whom. Red for Axis, Yellow for Allied. About core units. In fact, it is VERY unrealistic to have core units since most units in a war only saw action in a campaign or two. Hell in Vietnam, most soldiers only did one or two Tour of Duties. They didn't fight through the entire war. CM's battles are more like firefights rather than full fledged campaigns. A little more polish? We are on our SIXTH patch since it's release back in July. And these patches normally just tweak the AI or fix some hard to find gameplay bugs. Besides this game took THREE years to develop, BTS has polished this game WAAY much more than any other company would even ever dream of. I'm sorry if you're put off because CM's game system isn't like all the previous wargame systems. But this is what makes CM shine. Because it is different. PS. OK guys, let'em have it! ------------------ "We're not gonna just shoot the bastards`, we're gonna cut out their living guts, and use them to grease the treads of our tanks." "We're going to murder those lousey hun bastards by the buschel." "The Nazis are the enemy, wade into them, spill their blood, shoot them in the belly." "We are not holding our position, let the hun do that." "We are advancing constantly, we are not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy." "We're gonna hold onto him by the nose, and we're gonna kick him in the ass." "We're gonna kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose."--George S. Patton

Nope, what you see is what you get. There are no "special effects" per say when it comes to night scenarios.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Terence: I wonder if it has anything to do with anger over the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, in addition to the cultural factors you mention. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Now you see the source of our little email exchange, Terence. Americans that have a little better memory than just the past 10 years still hold a little resentment towards the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor 59 years ago. And as a History Major as I said I am, even a 100 years is a drop in the bucket concerning the span of recorded history. ------------------ "We're not gonna just shoot the bastards`, we're gonna cut out their living guts, and use them to grease the treads of our tanks."

IMHO, some of these classic 1960's war movies need to be redone. Midway, Battle of the Bulge, Bridge at Remagen, Tobruk to name a few. We really need a new good North African war movie.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Jeff Duquette: here yah go <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> OH MY! Look at the old stock terrain textures!

Hi-Res King Tiger? I think you mean Hi-Res Tiger. But anyway, Hi-Res Textures as you may have heard about are simply the original textures doubled or even tripled up in pixel size and then modified to bring out the details better by doing a lot of artwork to them. Say for instance a texture file is 64x128 in pixel size. To make a Hi-Res version, one increases it to 128x256. This makes a pixel from the original a 4x4 pixel. Thus allowing the underlying detail to be clarified with additional painting. This method is a little more involved, so I'm not going to go into that right now. Again, this has nothing to do with the game resolution. These will display the same no matter what resolution you are running at. Except of course, at different resolutions they will display at various levels of quality.

Well until BTS can program in periodic Tea Breaks for the British Army, CM will never be totally historical.

Right here.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Terence: Finally, I'm amused that you cite Patton in this instance. He very nearly lost his own job over the famous "slapping" incident, so I'm not sure he could have gotten away with shooting his own men. Anybody know if the US actually executed its own soldiers for anything during the war?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well Patton nearly did shoot the poor bastard that he slapped, remember? He tried pulling his pistol but was was held back by his officers. And for desertion, yes they very well did indeed. They executed one Private in France that I know of, but it created bad publicity and therefore they didn't do it anymore. Whoops, Major Tom mentioned it above. I didn't read his post before replying.
