By September 20, 2002. It could be released tomorrow for all we know.

I think almost everything that was hardcoded in CMBO will be moddable in CMBB. Building walls are one sided, meaning what you see on the outside is what you see on the inside. Until the interior and exterior walls use separate files you won't be able to mod the interior walls

And wait until you learn that the tank is a "Tiger," not a "Tigger." This game never ceases to amaze. (If you were joking, then nevermind. )

Yes. It was done by a French modder named Renee Laurent; however, the R in his initials will be reversed so as not to confuse his logo with the "RL" of famous designer Ralph Lauren.

I only drive 'em, baby. I don't know how to fix 'em. Woof woof.

Since you live in NJ you can order it online at http://www.battlefront.com/index.htm CMBO is not available in stores in the US.

I don't think CM appeals to the crowd that likes to dowload warez and hacked software, but BTS aka BF.C has to stand their ground as does every other software company. Except for the CDV version, there is no real software protection on CMBO. It would be so easy to simply copy CM onto a machine and pass it on to a friend. It is also easy enough to make a copy of the CD. If someone has a situation where they have a legitimate copy of CM and have to go through otherwise "illegal" methods to get CM to run on their machine, then that is their business. However, BF.C doesn't have to allow those "illegal" methods to be discussed on this forum. I have read message boards for other games where people openly admit that they have a downloaded version of the game and then complain they got ripped off because they didn't think the game gave them the value they were expecting. There was a parody posted recently describing that sort of situation, but it really does happen. Give BF.C a break and let them have their minimal form of copy protection.

You only need the CD in the drive to start CM. Once you start the program you can remove the CD until you need to restart CM. It really isn't that unreasonable for a software company to verify that you actually possess the software before using it. It's not like CM constantly needs to access the CD during gameplay requiring you to leave the CD in the drive at all times. Many people have more than one optical drive these days and CM stays in one of them at all times.

We're gonna get a box??? Yippee!!!

I don't think this will be as much of a problem in CMBB.

Lou Grant plays CM?

How many weeks? Only 8!!! Eight is a lower number, so lets focus on that until there are only seven days left.

Well, you've got two years, so as LGMB used to say, "move it, soldier!"

Unfortunately, no. CMII is just around the corner though!

Have you considered a penile implant? My favorite operation is Franko's Stoumont. It is a bit large, but I love it so much. You can get it at The Scenario Depot

Leave the Bald One alone, otherwise he is going to let Panzerman do the voice effects for CMBB. Waiting for CM to arrive is part of the ritual.

BFC, please send this man a copy of CMBB now, regardless of its state of completion. He needs help and CMBB is the only cure. [ July 25, 2002, 02:30 PM: Message edited by: Pvt. Ryan ]

Once you have CMMOS installed, adding mods is pretty much the same as it always has been. You unzip the mods and place the BMP files in the CMBO\BMP folder. The new files usually don't replace existing files becuase of their unique file names. Occasionally you will get a new mod that requires you to add some info to the rule set folders, but those mods usually come with detailed instructions, and I think the latest version of CMMOS makes those types of updates unnecessary.

I received this in my e-mail today and I thought it seemed appropriate given the course this thread has taken: Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed That the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of new space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure. In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to keep wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall does not work on this program. Can you please help me !!!??? Thanks, A TROUBLED USER ------------------------------------------------------------ Dear TROUBLED USER, This is a very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by it's creator to run everything. It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings- Alimony/Child support". I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation. I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system. Best of Luck, Tech Support

One thing some of us had trouble with at the So Cal preview was remembering that the Soviets were Allies. When we would go to pick which side we wanted to play, and were intending to play as the Russians, Actor would go to press the Allies button and we would shout. "No, we want the Russians, not the Allies." Then we would realize our mistake. I guess some of us still think of the Russians as the bad guys. The reason I mention this is because the Partisans are Allies as well.

Plus all your free time.

That is some outstanding work. What a great resource that will be.

Having attended the So Cal preview, I can tell you that many of the aircraft used by the nations that fought on the Russian front are included in CMBB. I hope that helps.
