I know it's not land-based, but I could see a wicked WWII Naval Series using this engine. Sure scale might need to be tweaked a bit...but I would think it has all the controls and capability otherwise. Visible aircraft is perhaps the biggest problem I can think of.

Guys, did you all forget the interviews with BTS early on? The response given in more than one circumstance to the question of where else they would take the evolved CM engine to was modern cold war era, circa 1980's war in Europe. I think it would be great idea personally...

I posted this note to help anyone else having this problem. I noticed that I was having trouble on large maps running hi-res mods with the text on unit info and the status board at the bottom getting corruption (this was also at 1280x1024). My FSAA was on and set to 4x4. Just dropping it to 3x3 I could leave FSAA on and had no problems. Hope this report helps anyone else having problems similiar to this, the upshot being you may not have to turn FSAA all the way off. The board in question was a Guillemot GeForce board running on Win98, DirectX 8.0, Detonator drivers 6.31.

I hate to say this, but I have loaded the bmps into my BMP folder, and I still get the old textures. I have never had any problems, (my game is quite modded), so what gives? Did I miss something about renumbering them or something?

I think the best way to do the Pacific theater for infantry would be using a man-tac system, like what Soldiers At War and Squad Leader PROMISED they would do. What a shame...

However, I have to say so sweeping a change should have been mentioned in the readme, maybe it just got left out. It did change without mention so of course we assumed a problem. As for the earlier thread, well, we can't read 'em all ; )

I often play quick battles, and had a good feel for the frequencies of getting armor. I have noticed, and checked over and over, that the quick battles generated with the new patch 1.1b16 are not putting armor on the field much. Instead, loads of infantry and support. I know the TO&E may have been tweaked, but this is drastic. Anyone else think this seems extreme? I miss tanks...I really do...and I prefer random instead of purchased : (

Single best thing: GeForce MX card ($140). Your processor is more than fine, and I believe the new Geforce 2 and MX chips take advantage of the 3dNOW! instructions of the AMD line. Honestly, it is better than upgrading the CPU. If you feel like going whole hog, go for the Geforce 2 GTS boards. about $300, but they are worth it. I have a plain old GeForce, and mine runs significantly faster than it would with just my old TNT.

For what it's worth, Steve mentioned in an interview that the modern era was certainly the most logical adaptation of the engine. Naturally, I think they (BTS) would find it interesting, perhaps more than a Civil War port or Napoleonics.

..one big point about F/B's...they may not arrive at all! Sucks eh?

I have to say that several posters have confused "war movies" with movies that use war as a backdrop for another kind of story. Both Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket ARE NOT war movies. The former is simply placing Heart of Darkness in a contemporarys setting, and the latter is a commentary on war, but not a "war movie". BTW, the end of SPR is what you get for the Germans when you let the computer run the attack ; )

Great work, DeanCo! It really adds the nice touches that CM needs to put it over the top. Thanks for the hard work!

I really hope the guys at BTS get to make some decent cash for delivering this gem. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> DOH! Was referring to your quote about CM making other land games obsolete, not that CM is crap!
