I am not really in the business of editing AARs as well, I just PDF and post what Holien sends me. WWB PS: Site is up now, visit this page for details. Note that there are still a fair amount to post, but rest assured they will get up there.

Just a heads up for interested parties--AARs should be live a little later this weekend, as soon as a few DNS changes go through. WWB

Might we ask CMMods for help with this? Seems like it would be a drop in the bucket compared to his standard load. </font>

Working on some plans for this now. Real trick with hosting the AARs is not so much building the app (at heart a simple categorized download list, pretty much back of the hand) but securing bandwith. They are not light. WWB

Question on premature ceasefire problem
WWB replied to Hans's topic in Combat Mission - Scenario Talk
Don't know why offhand. A quick workaround is to just add a truck reinforcement to both sides on the last turn. Game will not surrender nor ceasefire automatically if there are reinforcements about. WWB -
Depends on alot of factors. If you are really short RAM (like using 64 or 128mb with a modern OS), RAM will speed up crunching significantly because it will eliminat using virtual memory. Paging out to disk is horribly slow. If there is alot of disk activity while playing CM, you are likely short on RAM. If you have enough RAM then a faster processor will help. CM is very floating point intensive, and favors athalons over pentiums if you have a choice. Note that if you play truly huge operations (think To the Volga from CMBB) there are limits. 2.8ghz PIV boxes will still take a good ~10 minutes a turn on it. WWB

I think Novastar became Matrix Games (at least I think some of the faces are the same). Novastar worked for a while, but there was an unforseen flaw in their business model--the internet. They solved one of the big pre-net problems--distributing after market scenarios and such. Before the ubequietous internet, one had to dial into bulletin board systems, at 9600 baud if one was lucky, often long distance, to download software. Note that they disappeared in 98 or 99 once most people knew what the net was and could gain access if needed. Funny how another internet centric company we all know and love appeared then . So, now, with the net, rather than hundreds of people paying $10 a month for a floppy subscription, you have a few people paying various fixed costs for webhosting and making scenarios avaliable to all. And what Green as Jade says. WWB

Hate to tell you will, but conventions generally dont make money. Hope is to break even and get awesome industry press. Moreover, the few attempts at lan-party type conventions for games have ended rather horribly. And these are for games that blow CM's popularity away (like counterstrike). Not to mention most of the authors capable of putting out production-quality work probably get paid alot more to do whatever it is that they do to pay the amazon bill than they could ever hope to make for CM scenarios.

Scenario Depot v2 Release Date - June 6, 2004
WWB replied to Admiral Keth's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Belated here, but awesome job on the upgrade. Makes me want to go and start refactoring or somefink. Regarding the preceeding debate about search, check out the scenario search on boots and tracks. I set it up to allow users to find what they want quickly and easily. Main theory is to limit searchable options to keep things manageable. Link is http://bootsandtracks.com/ScenSearch.php if anyone is curious. WWB -
Its not you, though I think you might be able to set the view in a static op. WWB

Look in your internet options and make sure the radio button for home page is not set to "blank page." WWB

See boots and tracks for a number of them. WWB

What jwxspoon, berli, andreas and rune said. Make scenarios for love. Marry for money. WWB

Initial startup wait has increased since upgrade...
WWB replied to Jack Carr's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
I would disable onboard sound and video in the bios. They will never even detect at the windows level then. Biggest thing to make sure is your IDE drivers are installed and the disks running in UDMA mode. WWB -

WWB replied to Jack Carr's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
Did you reinstall windows? Or at least install the chipset drivers? Upgrading a motherboard in place is usually a bad idea, as windows has some caniptions with chipset drivers and ends up being slow, unstable or both. WWB -
HELP with installing scenarios PLEASE!!
WWB replied to wolfie's topic in Combat Mission - Tech Support
First, make sure you are not running directly off the CD--easy way to tell is if it always detects your graphics settings when starting. Second, make sure you have patched to v 1.12 as earlier versions will not show newer scenarios. WWB -
Which CM websites are actually alive?
WWB replied to HarryInk's topic in Combat Mission: Afrika Korps
Boots And Tracks is still going strong. New stuff should be about soon, but I have been on business travel for the last fortnight or so. WWB
