Argh. I just realized I made a poor effort the other night and designed yet another child-like, crappy map. This has gotta stop. Voxman, please open your webschool so that I can attend and learn how to make a good effort and not produce child-like, crappy maps. WWB

John, ever try a free email service like yahoo? You can send files from it without trying to connect over SMTP (where it seems like your problem lies). Also, have you tried using a different email client. That one could be fooked. WWB

I shall now put away the whip and quit beating the dead horse. I might beat other dead horses from time to time (HOTKEYS IN THE EDITOR!) but this one is kind of a wash. Would be cool, but not a game killer. WWB

Doh. I will learn to read. I promise. WWB

Well, I know that the minds are made up, but there is a logical fallicy in Martin's reasoning against zero-delay turn 1 waypoints: The thing is there is no delay for fire orders, meaning that charging A/C can still find the ATG the hard way if it was delayed to turn 2 or not. I do agree it is a major mistake to start with units in LOS, but I don't think that letting them move without delay is an altogether bad thing on the first turn. Moreover, letting people plot full movement on the first turn would better simulate infelxible command by encouraging some to plot long movements for poor troops. Then things change and they will be forced to either stick with the bad decision or repolot at the price of delays. WWB

That is not a half bad idea actually. WWB

A BUMP to announce the new direct link to The Combat Mission Tech Support Knowlegdebase. WWB

Run a scandisk. It might well be a bad sector in the scenarios folder. WWB

Probably the screensavers. DX and screensavers do not play well. Try disabling them in display properties and see what happens. WWB

Exactly what I was going to suggest. One question for redwolf--what is effective firing range of infantry support weapons. From your descriptions of your problems it sounds like you are within effective range of his support weapons, indicating you might be trying to get too close too early. WWB

Good idea</font>

Hmm, such a pretty map. I wonder where it came from. WWB

We need alot more information to help you: 1) Exactly what are you doing when the game locks up. 2) You did install the correct patch (CDV) for the correct game (CDV boxed set)? 3) Need to know what OS, graphics card, direct X version, sound card, motherboard, etc. WWB

I did a battle called B&T Green Hell which depicts efforts to close the Volkhov pocket. WWB

Thanks Keith. Bang up job as always. WWB

Get the updated version of the Stalingrad Pak with my SP-Hell on Earth operation. The first battle features a large, burning swath of city that puts nasty strain on my Ti4400. It should be a pretty good test of your triangle-pushing power. WWB

Or get winRAR and browse the file on the CMBB cd for the executeable then extract it. After that all you need to do is rename it and move it into your cmbb folder. WWB

Fecking yahoo. Message sent. WWB

Speaking of emails, you get to mine. I am sending another as I made a boo boo or two. WWB

For Tom's CMHQ, it is because the MGO's notoriously overloaded FTP servers. IE gives you a page cannot be found, but if you try it in Mozilla or something you will get a "FTP host is full, please try again later." WWB

Well, it only appeared Saturday, so it has not yet really been introduced. I will be adjusting that. One of these days I will learn to spell check before I post. BTW, I am still looking for a mac tech guru to help me flesh the thing out. Please feel free to drop me an email (wwb_99@yahoo.com) if you are interested.

Thanks, I am glad it was of use to someone. WWB

What are you doing when it locks up? E.g. does it lock up when you are selecting a battle, or in the 3d engine? Is there an error message? WWB

See my instructions in this post for instructions on how to install the patch and keep the current version. WWB

Never got a full answer on that, but the minimium battle window size is 1200m, so logically the map cannot be any smaller than that. Was not really designed with the new static ops in mind, but makes quite a bit of sense for advance or assault. WWB
