so the scenario briefings were written in blood? coooooooooool...

try kump's mod guide. i prefer old dog subduued.(link somewhere in the faq, which is in my sig.)

feature list COMING SOON on BFC website. according to madmatt it is like editing a bible...been checking and waiting day after day for it!

...everyone except for some speaker guy. he liked it when...

yeah, snow and rock hard frozen ground are diffrent things.

BECAUSE snow doesn't stop an artillery shell it decreases its effects: the shell buries itself in the snow so the blast is lessened to anyone above ground. i THINK cmbo models this.

the main battle tank of the german army would be the hetzer, supported ALWAYS by at least three 20mm flak cannons.

Oh yes, I tested it quite throroughly, it was my great time without work but more pay Anyway, just set up a bunch of Pz IV in front of woods, a bunch of 3" mortars inside the woods and then give half of the mortars HQs without combat bonus and the other half 2+ combat bonus. The ones with combat bonus will reliably hit a standing Panzer within one turn,the others can shoot half their ammo before scoring a hit. Now, it might be the case that the bonus does not apply when the mortar has LOS, I only tested for targetting through the HQ. All this is another reason why I became a little CMBO-annoyed.</font>

wolfe told me this great trick to get a scenario's briefing into a text file: "Hold down Ctrl and Shift and hit the Load Briefings button." that might help speed up you translation efforts. [ August 18, 2002, 11:50 AM: Message edited by: Madmatt ]

you can change tank shell loadouts

http://cmoutpost.net/lists/cmbo_odds_ends/explosion.htm hey kump, excellent job per usual. one thing though, i am using someone's explosions that you havn't listed. the readme has no name and is in french but the zip file says: xav_explosions.zip it is a smoky explosion mostly black with little red and orange showing up. "Ce Mod est destiné à créer des explosions moins 'Holliwoodish' que la stocky... Bon en clair, ça fait moins de flammes... Ce Mod a été réalisé avec la fonction copier/coller de Windows )" no idea where i got it or where to find it now. sorry for lack of info.

...own reply to keep from feeling the pain. of course he was a closet...

coooooooooool! its huge and it looks great! after rereading that berlin book i mentioned to you before it is good to see all those places in cm. i like how you included so many important buildings and locations. look there's the zoo! hey look there's hitler's bunker! look, the reichstag! unter den linden! hitler's henchmen's ministries: ss, gestap, lufwaffe, and propaganda ministries! the flak towers! the opera house! i spent 15 minutes just looking at the map. one small problem: the paces where the bridges touch land have the water twisting above the water level. not sure if you can change the height level or tile type to fix it, just wanted to let you know. i have two small possible suggestions (not necessarily accurate since i never saw a picture of the places): should unter der linden have road with scattered tree road tiles instead of pavement? there were some lamposts and trees planted along that lane. it was famous for its lime trees but hitler cut them down to put in some lamposts. some small saplings were put in to replace the lime trees. i like how you did brandenburg gate. but should the brandenburg gate be taller ? i am pretty sure it looks better now though since i just noticed you used the tallest bridge tile anyway. one story i read was that the russians attacking the reichstag had trouble finding it. they saw a grey building and were trying to get around it to the apparently larger looking building just beyond. their commanding officer told them them on a field phone that grey building was the reichstag. the attacking russians got some recently captured prisoners up to confirm this. the author suggests the russians had mistaken the top of the brandenburg gate for the reichstag. a question too: anything important at that 4 heavy building cluster just southeast of the spree river label? has a pond surrounded by pavement and a one tile black setup zone. great work! very impressive looking. you should try and get one of those free album accounts like at lycos photocenter and post a few pics for everyone to look at. you'd get a lot of downloads just from the screenshot alone.

could you post a link when its ready? i would love to see it.

most annoying los issue in both close combat and cm. [ August 13, 2002, 05:56 PM: Message edited by: russellmz ]

just did a setup and sent it out. a nice looking map. looks good from high and low. with the mods i have and the weather and season, it looks really good on my screen. ground is ueven in a natural way. pretty sure i never played chance encounter before so i can't compare to the original. my opponent hasn't either so this should be fun. a big plus in the scenario's favor: most units are grouped like with like. tanks with tanks, platoons organized in diamond formation with officers in back. very simple to do but saves an plenty of effort for the player. Me like!

let me have a copy plz. been wanting to pbem a big scenario lately. russellmz@hotmail.com (just got my opponent lined up!) ... [ August 12, 2002, 11:06 PM: Message edited by: russellmz ]

huh? there is a bmp for hands isn't there? i remember trying to make fingers for them and at least one mod including white gloves...

...would often employ N2O on his...

lately i can't get the java based opponent finder to work in my browser. (get a big grey box) doen't matter if i wait a while it stays grey. occassionally if i redo it many times i can get it to work, but it has become unconsistent enough that i stopped going by. any suggestions for me to fix? i got IE5.5 and win98.

the heat caused by the sun causes the image of a tank far off to appear higher or lower than it actually is. something to do with the rising heat causing the light rays to bend slightly up or down when before it hits the eye. i saw on tv they set up a reference wooden post close to the camera and far off a parked tank. as the sun rose and set during the day the tank appeared to be lower or higher than it actually was.

hehe the whole air force was indeed mine but deanco did the hysterical racing one. the bug is that ONE bomb appeared to do all that damage. and not even nuclear!
