from the http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2002/sep/10macosx.html ---------------- APPLE EXPO, PARISþSeptember 10, 2002þApple® today announced that starting in January 2003, all new Mac® models will only boot into Mac® OS X as the start-up operating system, though they will retain the ability to run most Mac OS 9 applications through Apple's bundled Classic software. There are nearly 4,000 native applications now available for Mac OS X. -------------- I hope battlefront would solve OSX problem before 2003...

Here is another http://armor.kiev.ua/humor/ look at the tank pics if you cannt read and the whole site http://armor.kiev.ua/ is nice too

My cd hasn't seen the light of day in months, and it's in need of some air and a spring clean.. I was wondering if there's some kind of *patch* that allows you to run without the cd?<hr></blockquote> Patching is illegal and violating License Agreement. But what you can do w/o violating EULA (at least i believe its legal) - is to create full CD image and save it on the HD. Mount CD image before playing and enjoy.

If i remember correctly, germans were calling such unints "schwarzentodd" (sorry if wrong spelling), "The black death".

Great info, thanks BTS! After many years of "Stalingrad" wargame, I would be again able to turn wehrmacht iron into scrap metal Some more questions: 1. What is the estimate price of the CMBB? 2. Any preorders planned? 3. Any discounts for CMBO owners/preorders?

Gibsonm, very stupid advice - did you tryed to trash the Combat Mission preferences file? It was halped me then i encountered problemss under OS 9.2.1

Applecart, the best way to know about Soviet weapon is to look at Russian websites Unfortunatlly, not all of them have english version, so one need to search a bit. For example, start with http://wio.boom.ru/galgrnd/ww2inf.htm If you interesting, i will find more links to russian ww2 infantry pages in english language.

Hello all. Do BattleFront developers planning to add GameRanger support for Combat Mission (and the same service for PC version)? It would be great way to find tcp/ip opponetes.

Combat Mission: Great Patriotic War. This is how Soviet-German war 1941-1945 is called in Russia and Ex-USSR. But i doubt this name would be attractive to western players, so Combat Mission: Eastern Front seems to be good compromise.

Yes. http://www.icq.com/download/ftp-macppc.html

Thanks for info, Madmatt. I have installed 9.2.1 because many Open-GL based games runs better on it. I am getting better framerates in WarBirds III and WWII Online. New NVidia drivers (2.3) and OpenGL 1.2.3 seems to be the reason. Unfortuanly CMBO is not OpenGL-based, its QuickDraw 3D RAVE - based. And seems Apple gonna drop RAVE support soon So i can play CMBO at my office comp (with ATI RAGE 128 card), but it is crashed on my home comp (NVidia card). So im looking forward for new versions/patches

Schrullenhaft - Thank you a lot! Shame on me, I forgot to try to remove preference file. After I've done it, all working ok. Thank you again!

Hello all. After upgrading to MacOS 9.2.1 my Combat Mission crashing at launch. It is occur before as soon as i launching it, the screen going black and then "Error type 2". It was working fine on MacOS 9.1 This problem is always reproducable on both comp, home G4/400 512 RAM MacOS 9.2.1 NVidia 2 MX, and office G4/466 256 RAM MacOS 9.2.1 ATI RAPE Pro 16 Mb. Any tips/suggestion? May be it is type for CM 1.13 release?

G4/400 here 512 RAM. Last weekend upgraded it with GeForce 2 MX, mostly because of WWII Online huge requirements. Card was originaly manufactured for PC (ASUS 7100), but i flashed it wih Mac ROM and its now works. Didnt checked if sky texture bug is went away with new Apple/NVidia version 2.1.1 drivers...

I would play CMBO even if CM2 would be much more advanced. CMBO is a game, which would be played even 10 years after, provided new comps would be able to run it. Just like TacOS, Over the Reich, Achtung SpitFeuers, Flight Commander... BTW - pritzl, glad to see you

sorry wrong topic [ 04-10-2001: Message edited by: rum ]

Thats why I love this company and will oreder CM2 as soon as it would be out - they have excellent and quick-reacting customer support. Way to go, Big Time Software! ------------------ rum

Hetzer of cause. One battle i put Hetzer on the hill back slope, and it got 3 hits from Sherman Jumbo 76mm without damage. If my opponent prefer heavy tanks, then i am taking JagdPanther.

PTRD-41 http://www.sinopa.com/sor/bo001/bo05sv/bo05sv12/ptrd001.htm PTRS-41 http://www.sinopa.com/sor/bo001/bo05sv/bo05sv12/ptrd001.htm Its all in russian, but you can look and photos and i could translate some fragments if you want. Remember, Soviet Army didnt tryed to use this rifles against Tigers and Panters. This weapon was widely used in the early period of war, mostly against PzKw III and less armored vehicles.

Hello, all. Is it possible to play CM via TCP/IP through the proxy? Any tips? ------------------ rum

It is easy. --rum- is my nickname in Warbirds world ------------------ rum

Under MacOS, you can make disk image with Disk Copy utility, which is came with the system. Then you have CD image on your hard disk (its about 310Mb size), you can just mount it with doble-click, and it will apear on desktop. I am using disk image and minimal install - this is freeing me from keeping CD in the drive during game. Sorry, I do not know if this will work under Windows. ------------------ rum

The MacOS Resource Manager limits the number of resources in one file to 2700 or so. How many resources you already have in the file? The problem could be due to large PICTs sizes. Try to increase ResEdit/Mod Manager memory partition, hope it will help.

Hello, Battlefront! Thank you for another update. I would like to inform you, what OpenGL 1.2.1 for MacOS is already in public access, so everyone could download it from Apple Website. http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11545 I think what now it is time to stop including OpenGL 1.2.1 in Combat Mission patches, I think what it would be enough to provide link to it. This would reduce patch size from 5.6 Mb to 1.5 Mb or so. Thank you. ------------------ rum

What are TCP/IP port Combat Mission using for Internet play? ------------------ rum
