[Best War Movies of All Time]

Breaker Morant (Australian 1980)

Great film about 3 Aussies court-martialed for "war crimes" during the Boer War. Based on a true story.

Thanks guys, that was what I was looking for.

[Voice activated hot keys]

I remember reading a post either on this forum or comp...games.war-historical newsgroup in which some described playing CM using a voice activated hot key software package. I can't seem to locate the post, but could anyone suggest exactly what software package would do this. The post made it seem like this software was made specifically to do this, rather than just a tool to allow you to talk into Word or another word processing package.

It sounds like a really cool way to play.

Thanks,

Thanks everybody for the help and suggestions. The one thing I had changed was installing an "adkiller" that killed banner ads in Netscape. I removed it, and also made the following changes in CMOS settings:

AGP aperture size -- changed from 128 to 256

Video RAM Cache -- was disabled, now enabled

Everything's humming along just great now. I still don't have fog -- I'll play all the non-fog scenarios before I'll have to upgrade vid card.

[ATI Rage 128 Fog issue]

I have an ATI 128 Rage and also cannot see fog, nor does there seem to be any fog emulation table enabler.

I have also started having lockup problems which may or may not be related to the ATI card.

Looks like I'll be buying a new video card!

Regarding my post above: I do have DirectX 7.0a as well.

Thanks

I have had CM for about a week now and have been having a great time with it. This morning I tried to open a Quick Battle that I had saved last night. I selected the Quick Battle from the scenario menu, hit Play, and the "splash screen" came up (the one with the 6 flags and 'loading 3d grahics'). I heard the background sounds and it sounded like they were skipping over and over. The game hung that way. I killed it using task manager and tried loading fresh as yet unplayed scenarios and got the same thing every time.

I run Win95, PII 333, 192 Mb RAM, ATI Rage 128. I have the 1.01 patch and all MadMatt mods loaded and have played about 10 scenarios successfully up until now.

Thanks.
