Perhaps along the lines of the Hotline suggestion is to use everyones bandwidth! Those ip to ip sharing apps would work well here, be it Napster (all but dead), Winmx, Morpheus etc. The mods would just be pulled of whom ever is online at the time. As long as the file name was kept the same as described and reviewed at combat-missions this will work!! The only band width going through manxs site would be text and a few images. My preference would be for Morpheus as it downloads from serveral Ips simultaneously, unlike winmx which is one to one. This would also mean that Manx could reduce his costs to almost nothing. The big problem in public funding anything is the funds do dry up, may take a while but it will dry up none the less. We need to find these sort of alternative means of hosting files, rather than patching the problem which will only get bigger when CM2 comes out. [ 10-21-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

I will pass the torch of train tracks to you Gyrene, yours look really great! Saves me the work, im a lazy bastard afterall

Senility? But seriously the more mods and more choices the better. You can never have too many mods.

A little known hires wooden bunker is here.. wooden bunkers looking back at it now I thick it could do with some grass/vines.

Bizarre! try this link to the file Train tracks - LoRes 140k file Train tracks - HiRes 750k file PS could be full on "pink spots" etc. cant check that sort of stuff [edited to add hi res] [ 10-19-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

Heres a quick attempt. Save the image as 659.bmp into your bmp directory and tell me how it looks. Im at work so dont have access to the game (not for another 6 hours or so. Its only one tile but if you make a map with straight track should be there. [edit - this is low res, was hi-res but I dropped it down since not everyone has P3-1gigs, like me , I will be making it bith hi and low] [ 10-19-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

I will see what I can come up with. Had been planning one when i did my roads, just never quite got there.

Do what i do, get a screw driver and pop that pain in the ass "caps lock" key out!!

About a year ago there was a excel spreadsheet that contained data and pictures on all the units in the game. It had lookup functions to select unit and side details. At the time it was only up to CM v1.1 Does anyone know where it is now, was on the now defunct ASL-Cm webpage. Does anyone have a link to the old one or preferable an undated v1.12 version. PS Im not referring to Chris Hare's cm1_xls.zip spreadsheet. I cant recall the author of this other one.

The only vehicle I have seen to survive a direct hit from a Pzfaust is the ugly old churchill, direct hit "internal amour flaking" but it survived! Mind you its a slow tank and didnt get very far before getting a second direct hit and began impersonating a barbecue.

A great new mod for Churchills AND Challengers!! Is it christmas! I only play brits and normally only take Churchills and Challengers. So please dont waste this by sending it to the recycle bin.

Tried the search (not working again), looked at various sites but I couldnt find that randon end turn generator. Can anyone help.

having been away for a while myself, I was wondering did anyone do some rules for unit selection to make the combat a bit more realistic, eg Im really sick of only ever fighting german machine gun squads (their name escapes me at the moment). Something along the line of 1:1 ratio of rifle to non rifle squads or something similar. edited - PS congrats on the baby Franko [ 10-04-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

I am assuming so since i have been fairly absent from the forum for a while. My thought was for a programming guru to develop a "availability generator", used in a way much like the random turn ending app. For any given year and side it will show whats available and prints it out (.txt) so both players can see whats available eg only 1 PantherG, no KT's etc, so theres no cheating going on (not that CM players look to cheat), the numbers would be randonly generated each run based on actual (?) availability figures. The concept would need work and may to some to seem pointless but I keep thinking back to my CC3 days where the force pool would have sometimes (eg) 0,1,2 Panthers etc. I just like that idea and looking forward to something like that being in CM2.

Thats the problem with kids (I have 4 by the way 7,5,2,0.5). When they are little they consume your time, as they get older they consume computer time. I currently get a balanced mixture of both, hence my abscence for the last few months.

Thanks PzL, I....cant......help....my...self... "I'll be Back" No just changing ISP's (testing whos the best, low pings etc) so no permanent home till I stop my wandering.

Just letting everyone know that my site is going off air till further notice. Hopefully it will only be a temporary absence. If you havent got my road mods yet do so today. In case you have just crawled under this rock called Combat Mission in an attempt to avoid real life, here is what awaits you at my vanishing pages.

Sorry search isnt working. I know this has been discussed at length but I thought it may have been fixed in the 1.12 release. I had 2 105mm how. on a hill overlooking a town, hidden. Eventually I ordered them to open up on a house containing inf. Both guns spent the whole turn firing smoke rounds (neither had fired a shot till this point) at the inf. Nothing returned fire to place them in danger. Next turn I tried again at another house, same thing happened, they eventually switched targets at a small group of inf in grove of trees and fired HE at that. :mad: PS they were both in C&C of the company commander, not that I would think that would have much effect on this. I now empty my smoke rounds from AFV against some patch of ground before "going over the top" but its a bit hard to do with your guns, as they would reveal their locations.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Panzer Leader: Hey Pud, I love your roads. Listen do you have the new paved road set that matches up with the dark muddy dirt road? I couldn't find the matching tiles. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Do you mean my paved roads matching with muddy road? I thought it was in the paved road zip file. I will have to check tonight when I get home (at work now... shhhhh). It might be a case of wrong file on the server but its around someplace. I will fix up the file on the server and send you the missing file as well.

PS Welcome aboard. [ 06-07-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

If you have no takers to date, fling them my way. Im no grog so I cant comment on that aspect of your mods.

....and if anyone does manage to crack the password for the PBEM for god sake keep it to yourself, imagine what damage releasing that info would do to the games we play!!! :mad: [edited] - other than telling BTS about it asap [ 05-29-2001: Message edited by: Pud ]

interesting reading. This is the stuff that we need more of. Thanks ScoutPL

Unfortuantely Frontpage also has features in its coding which are server specific and causes problems when running the html from your ISP servers(viewed through any browser)that isnt being served from a microsoft server (most aren't), better to honestly stay clear of frontpage. PS All GUI web editors place a heap of redundant code so no matter which one you use it wont be "clean" code.
