    New G4 iBooks

    in Combat Mission - Tech Support

    Posted

    Andreas me old flower ;) I have a Feb. 2003 iBook. Its the 12" 800mHz G3 version with 32 MB of Video memory ( ATI Radeon AGP 7200 i think ) maxed out 640MB of RAM and a 40 gig HD. I have OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.3.2 on the same HD.

    For OS9.2.2 fun i have CMBO . CMBB and CMAK installed. All run great ( extra ram helps ). Fog is present in the hi quality mode..not at all like my DP G4 and ATI 8500 card where i only have it only as fast and compatible.

    It boots fast in both OS9.2.2 and OS10.3.2

    As to your choices..best bet is a good second hand machine.To ponder what one see this link.

    Hope this helps bud smile.gif and remember..i am only a email away ;)

    Tiger 1 Markings?....

    in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps

    Posted

    The white rhombid with the red stripe and the number 1 after it represents tanks that appeared in the 1.Komp / sPzAbt 504 in North Africa.

    The s.PzAbt 501 served in NA from November 1942 -> March 1943 claiming over 150 tanks destroyed for the loss of 10 Tigers... 7 of which were scuttled at Beja. The remaining Tiger Is were handed over to the sPzAbt 504 which arrived in NA around the 13th March 1943. It used a total of 22 Tiger Is in NA ..claiming like the sPzAbt 501 about 150 enemy tanks ko.

    The sPzAbt 504 reformed in Holland and was then transferred to Italy at the beginning of June 1944 and served there till the end of the war.

    The sPzAbt 508 was also another Tiger unit that served in italy from Feb 1944 till Feb 1945.

    Hope this is of some help smile.gif

    Hey Martin...whats this about them Yankee's using the Panzerwaffe's tactics for some practice before the next Ryder Cup??????

    A highly informative work for either the historian or the gamer. Comments by Golf War veteran tankers say that the lessons it teaches are still taught today.

    Niko - GenSplatton is right, we're focussing entirely on the new engine (besides patching CMAK where needed of course), and therefore an Early War version with the existing engine has been ruled out. But the new engine will make it easier for us to, among other things, visit new theaters and time periods than we could cover with the old engine, so let's wait and see.

    Martin

    So lads..enjoy CMBO/CMBB and CMAK for now ..... and save all your pennies and cents for the future smile.gif

    While it would be nice in a ideal world to have access to "Early War" and upgraded CMBO game's it is sadly a fact that BFC for very good business reasons view any further investment using the CM 1 game engine an investment not worth making.

    The "Early War Year's" would no doubt be no small project..covering the forces of the UK , France , Poland , Holland , Belgium , Denmark , Norway , Russia and Germany. This would i am afraid require a very very large investment of BFCs limited time and resources. Researching the forces for these countries , making 3D models , making textures , coding the forces , testing , bug hunting , recoding , retesting etc is just too much to ask of BFC at this time .....especially in the light of their stated intentions.

    Like it or not CM I is DEAD( i apologise for the shout..its not meant in a "In yer face" way..just that its a fact and nothing we can do will persaude BFC to change their position ).

    BFC are listening to us..the customers. They want to give us guys & gals THE BEST games...and they really do believe that the best way to do that is to burn their bridge and totally focus on the next CMX2 game engine. We have been promised a much more detailed game engine..with built in redundancies that allow BFC to turn around Game Projects much quicker.

    I for one am willing to forgo any more CM 1 games if it means i can get my hands on a much better game engine that much quicker.

    As for the community getting involved in actually making "CM-Blitzkreig East & West " or even CMBO-Upgraded it is unlikely that BFC would release the code to allow us to tinker.

    The making of 3d models for the series using the CMI engine is according to Dan and Steve a bit of a "bear with a sore head" in regards to making and importing 3d models and textures.. I have in the past been fortunate to be able to work ( making textures ) with these 2 lads during CMBB beta and i can tell you that it is no simple thing for a model to be made with that engine.Once the model is made a texture then has to be generated and tested within the game..any mismapping of textures then have to be fixed ..and tested once again.

    Nope...... i do think BFC is doing the correct thing for their company in focusing on the future.They will be better placed to serve us...their customers thesooner that the new engine is developed.

    Hey BigAlMoho..happy Christmas to you smile.gif

    BFC has stated that all resources (bar maybe putting out a patch ) are now focused on the CMX2 game engine. it is highly unlikey that BFC will develope any more game titles using the CM I game engine. The amount of time and resources are just not there within BFC business plan.

    It has taken well over a year to bring CMAK to the market place and i dare say BFC are just not prepared to invest any more time on a CM 1 game engine powered title covering either the early war or revisiting CMBO.

    Best bet is to just enjoy the current games..save your money towards that dream system..and look forward to the future to what ever surprises BFC bring to us smile.gif

    best regards
