What kind of drivers are you running? Do you have the correct ones? ( AGP or PCI)

I don't understand why people don't vote on scenario's.I have designed a few that have been down loaded several hundred times, yet there are about 10 votes on them.
I never once had any feed back on one if someone thought a scenario was good or not.Hence I might make good ones, or I may make pieces of krap just because no one wants to give me feed back on what they like in a scenario.
I geuss the bottom line is, if you like ****ty scenario's then shut up.If you want good ones then speak up by rating them and giving input to the author.

The Squad Leader game is NOT based on Squad Leader. From what I've seen of it I have to question why anyone would want it.

Thats a good one Napoleon. I've never seen that happen but I'd be executing any crew that lived through that experience.

I like the idea. It will ba alot easier making my voodoo dolls to curse my opponents so I'll will all the time

The time listed by the observer is an estimate. The more experienced the observer, the more accuate his time will reflect.

I began reading this forum around the summer of 99. I read but never posted.I finally got CM about 7 months ago and have been here or playing CM ever since.
I almost wish the game never came out. I miss sleep, a life,food, I even miss my cat who is always meowing for attention now.

I use full for all games. When I make a scenario I play it with full as well,unless I think the AI is acting strange. Then I'll try with no FOW to see what needs to be changed in the scenario.

I didn't include Steel Panther World At War simple because it updates 1 to the standards of 2 and makes it fully windows compatible.If it came out in place of Steel Panthers 3 it may have made my list.Steel 2 was a ground breaker at the time IMO.
I tried to stick to ground breaking games, or ones that totally sucked you into the game like EAW did.

The best of the 90's huh. I'll have to cheat and include 2000 as well
Combat Mission
Steel Panthers 2
Shogun
West Front
Close Combat 2
Panzer Elite
Panzer General 2
European Air War

CM use's the resolution you selected when you installed the game. To change resolutions in the game you have to delete your Combat Mission Bynd Ovr Prefs file in your CMBO folder. When you start the game again you'll be able to select your resolution.
-
Just right click on an area of the desktop and go to properties. Then click on the settings tab and you can change your resolution.
-
The beta exe is a 2nd exe. Go into your CMBO folder and you'll see 2 exe's. I guess the easiest way would be to create a shortcut to the beta exe on your desk top.
-
Did you upgrade to 98 or do a clean install? I have seen performance drop from upgrades, espically if you go up to ME.

I have a friend who is a text problem where you can't read the text. He has a TNT and is running W2K.I have done everything I know and can't solve the issue. I have tried various Detonator drivers going as far back as 9 months. Even found a set that solved the issue but with no 3d.
I run on W2K using a Geforce card with no problems using the same drivers I tried on my friends machine.It must be a problem specific to the TNT cards and not the TNT2 or Geforce.

Try changing your unit size. I think its shift+c off hand. This could be the issue of the clipping.
-
I have no problems viewing it. Must be a screen resolution issue with the people having difficulty.

Thanks Harv
Your work is appreciated.

Get Charlie Daniels or a redneck country band to do the music and you'd really have a hit on your hands.
Don't forget to change the voice's to "Yall retreat" or "Yall attack now". They like Yall down here for some reason.
-
Did you place it in its own colored zone? Even then it might move some if you don't play the game with set to scenario defaults. You may also want to try pad locking the unit there.
Good luck.

I just made a comment in your guest book Kitty. I can't believe someone that narrow minded exists.But anyway, every one is entitled to their opinons ,right or wrong.

Happy birthday Wild Bill. I would suggest you have a brew for every year, but then all those wonderfull scenario's would suffer.

I don't get into FPS too much these days. The last one that I felt was reall good was Hidden and Dangerous. Most of the FPS seem to mainly push graphics on CPUs. Thats a good thing, it helps drive the industry and paves the way for good 3D games like CM.Unfortunately asside from graphics they don't add much.
I get into a few RTS games. Seven Kings is a great one with lots of strategy. Unfortunately most are just clones and do not push the limit of imaginative programming.They simple focus on rapid clicking and selecting massed troops for a single mad melee.
I have seen alot of CM players bashed here for being fans of the CC series. I must admitt at one point I liked the series also. The game engine however is unrealistic. For the past 20 years us wargammers have played games that just haven't evolved. Who remembers countless hours of Kampfgruppe, Mechbrigade or Crusade in Europe? Untill CM the current crop have not advanced much. Steel Panthers, Campaign Serires etc are just graphicly beefed up versions of the games we played in the 80's.
I guess IMO the bottom line is, RTS and FPS games come and go, but wargammers tend to stay for life.By nature we don't jump on bandwagons, but can most RTS or FPS gamers say the same?
I hope no one takes any of this the wrong way. Its just how I feel. I try to be kind and help newcomers.If the genre doesn't grow, then we'll be stuck with Kampfgruppe clones for another 20 years and while there will be a demand for cutting edge wargames, it just wouldn't be worth gaming company's time or money to produce them.
So welcome RTS and FPS fans to CM,noe lets make all company's produce superior games, of any genre.

Send it here if you wish. I'll let you know if I have the same problem. Just let me know what unit and if it happens with all commands.
