Hi guys, If any of you use Marco Bergman/Gordon Molek's Firefly camo mod, then you'll notice that if you go back to the original UK, Canadian or Polish textures, there will be a few files around the turrets that are still camoflauged. Well I did this for the first time this morning and I said, "Oh we can't have that!" So I fixed it. I have made new bmps with the _uk, _ca, _po extentions along with new batch files to implement these files. I have thoroughly tested these and they all work. I will send it to Mr. Kump, but if anybody wants it now, just email me at davem@shawneelink.net It's only 548K so it ain't that big. ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

I love those signs! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Yeah, I found it just after I posted that last message. It's on that all brick house with the little wreath-looking thing above the door. Man, can't wait to see his urban buildings! Hope he keeps them to these standards. In other words, makes them like this and not anything similar to the original BTS buildings. Pzrtrpn, any plans on doing this for the stone bridge and wooden bridge (even though I am using that brown stone bridge mod)? [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 11-16-2000).]

Road signs? What road signs? I did see a sign on one building though, it didn't look like a road sign.

Well 330 was included in the zip file. 330 is one of the sides to one of the two story buildings. It didn't come up corrupted in my zip file transfer. So...

Lets try this link: http://www.geocities.com/bigddca/index.html

Separate BMPs aren't downloading, says that file doesn't exist on server. Nevermind. Figured it out. For Netscape users: Use the ftp hotlink and then just ADD the bmp name in the current path and press Enter and then it asks you to 'open it' or 'save it to disk'. I suppose that it will work for the zip file also. The links on the screen aren't correct I guess, for Netscape that is. [This message has been edited by Maximus (edited 11-15-2000).]

I haven't followed the Peng threads at ALL, so if he's showed up there, my bad. But is he another one of the veteran members who has "left the building"?

This Hasbro **** has got to stop! And I'm talking about it buying up all these other companies and then putting out sub-standard games under well known names such as Squad Leader. I will never, E-E-E-VER buy a Hasbro game A-GAIN! ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

Sounds like the awesome gun that Bill Paxton's character in the movie "Navy SEALS" had. That gun could blow holes in walls!

So you haven't played it? Then what do you know? I played the demo and I saw what I explained with my own eyes.

Sudden Strike *is* a WWII strategy game, but that's where it ends. It's just another rehash of Command & Conquer in which the units use "hit-points" instead of real characteristics like armor. Yeah sure the tanks may be able to take several more hits than infantry, but all you have to do is to pound a tank with infantry fire until it dies. Infantry in CM can shoot their whole load at a King Tiger and never kill it. Minus the occasional "sticky bomb". But in Sudden Strike a King Tiger would only last a few seconds under direct fire from infantry. Pretty stupid, if you ask me. I downkloaded and played the demo slightly before CM came out and played it once and deleted it. mainly because it was so unrealistic. Sure, the developer calls it a game, but sheesh! Gimme a break! ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

Just read the article. Ironic isn't it? Seems they just couldn't keep up with the GeForce chips.

Yeah, I looked back on an old thread and noticed, "Hey, where's so and so been?" ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

Now wait a minute, you're a Member, and you have yet to experience a bogging? A Member since last year even? Have you been playing CM much? I get a bogged vehicle at LEAST once a game when I play on anything other than a Dry map. I even had a tank Bog on a Dry map in a Scattered Trees tile.

The only problem with your suggested Screen Capture method is that it would only capture whatever the point of view is looking at at any given moment....Not too useful, really. ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

Well, OK, maybe it was...still isn't available to download yet, though. But I've seen just about enough PzVIE mods that I'm blue in the face. How about some lesser AFV mods?

Sounds like a great idea. It was also very common for the Germans to use captured T-34s. Except that I would suspect that "captured" vehicles will be listed in the purchase screens. At least they should be. ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

I tried the demo a while back, I think before CM was released. I couldn't figure out the movement controls.

Please read the above thread that I posted. If any of you guys even think about buying B-17II from Hasblow, you ought to shoot yourselves. After what we all know can be a good software development company, known as BTS, and then go to buy a piece of **** from Hasblow, you are destroying everything you believe in.

IMHO, Tiger needs to start doing hi-res mods. Then we'll see his true talent. ------------------ --"We want information." --"Information." --"Information." --"Who are you?" --"The new Number 2." --"Who is Number 1?" --"You are Number 6." --"I am not a number, I am a free man!" --"Hahahahahahahaha."

I have to agree with Banshee, besides who is really publishing B-17 II? Hasbro, isn't it? And we all know what Hasbro is all about. Read this thread from the combatsim.com forum... http://www.combatsim.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000246.html

So what's the good point about CM?
