IMHO if implemented, the feature would be a lot more popular than many think. It would be an excellent tactical training tool.

Yeah I realise that Was just wondering if their game-recording approach had any application to CMSF, but I guess not. Given the pretty amazing stuff that CMSF does do, I'm sure if it was in any way worth the time and resources it would have been done by now, so evidently it is, as we say in IT, 'non-trivial'

Interesting stuff.

Obviously I was being sarcastic. Jeez.

Well not just in some game but most games - you have the approach I mentioned, or a more complex approach where everything that happens is explicitly recorded - so apparently CMSF lends itself to the second approach, which is indeed far far more demanding. Obviously I realise if it was easy to implent it would have been done already, and that approach is never easy, it requires huge effort and resources. I have an MS in Comp Sci in AI, so I do understand this issue a little bit Its a feature we'd all like to see, but if its in the far future, its worth waiting for

Brilliant. Should be used as a recruiting film by the Russian Army for their tank crews!

Really? Games like IL2 manage it OK, and there is a lot going on there. Just record the player inputs, and the initial randseed value, and all the random numbers generated during the playback should be identical to those in gameplay. There is no need to record everything or indeed really anything that happens, unless the game architecture is radically different from most. Just start the replay with the randseed plugged in, apply the recorded player inputs as and when they occur, and let the game play itself.

Fascinating thread, thanks to all!

If its 2015 you will need combat robots as well.

Beta soon already? Great news!

Run, don't walk, to the order page.

Things are good in CM land

Boneless as a boneless chicken

Now we are talking!

I have a Dell XPSM1710 gaming laptop with GeForce Go GTx 7950 and it runs SF beautifully.

Been following CM for 9 years, Brits Module is a very worthy addition to the series - excellent as always.

Doh it just struck me - WITP: War in the Pacific. I bought that just after it came out. That game is a monster. I got about 2 months into the war, and it was fascinating, but it becomes a bit of a struggle with the slow turns etc, and managing the logistics becomes a mission. Have a faster PC now and some of the bugs were likely fixed, might have another go. I wonder if anyone actually completed the entire war? Don't worry, the first turn is by far the longest! Have you player its predecessor Uncommon Valor? Now that is a superb game, and AFAIK its had many of the WITP features added on.

Thanks, the models are superb.

WITP-AE "Walk In The Park"-Aliens Edition

'Recon by being shot to pieces'

Thanks for this info very interesting.

I was moderately interested in the module, but the more I have seen the more I am now determined to buy it.

An unexpected bonus to be sure. Bravo!

Agreed, given the complexity of the environment the AI is working with, its pretty amazing.

Yes I agree, overtrain the network and you start to get mush on the output end, and knowing when you have reached, or are about to reach that point, is a problem. Like your analogy about pouring concrete on the brain haha
