I recently installed CMBB.
I added CW''s gridded grass and will probably include other BMP mods later on.
I scanned the forums this evening and found two main comprehensive sound mod packs:
Father of None
Night Crawlers
Does anyone have any opinions on which would be a better choice? I want to feel like I am in the middle of a fire fight!
Father of None's uses MP3 files. I've downloaded a utility (CDEX) to convert the fire format to WAV, but I have never done this before. Is there anything which I should know?
Thanks!

So, I just received CMBB (and the strategy guide). Of course, I am reading the manual and the strategy guide now.
However, I have always considered these forums to be an invaluable resource. Does anyone have some good links that cover what a CMBO player should know when they begin playing CMBB? (I recall discussions I had seen regarding machine guns, soldiers running, waypoint delays, etc...)
Thanks!

Moon,
Would it be possible to get a list of the additional scenarios which will be included in the retail version? I would like to make sure that I get a chance to play them. (There are more than 1,000 downloadable scenarios for CMBO. So, sometimes, it's a little hard to know what to play.)
Thanks!
-
If not, then when? (As I usually don't have time to follow the forums so closely.)
Thanks!
-
Will the special addition scenarios be made available as download for existing owners of CMBO?
Thanks.
-
It's Friday.
So, what's up?
Thanks!

BTS,
I noticed that the CMBB strategy guide page is no longer accepting orders.
I had intended to purchase CMBB and the guide at the same time.
My question:
Will the guide be offered in the future? If so, when?
Or has the guide been discontinued as a product and the Web site has yet to be updated to reflect that?
Thanks.

I would wait until Reverendo gets the multi-part pages done. As of now, it is incomplete.
-
Jose,
I originally thought when I flipped through this stuff yesterday that it seemed somewhat shorter than the original, but I wasn't sure.
Now, I am sure. Many of the links I collected are links to multi-page postings; you know part 1, 2, 3, 4, ... It seems that Reverendo has only capture the first part. For example, look at item #19 "Best Tank", and you will see what I mean.
I will put a small note about this in my lead in until you get this corrected.
Thanks!

Okay, I know this sounds very basic, but there are some who are not very computer literate.
You might want to explain in your download instructions that a /page directory will be created when unzipped and the user should create a shortcut to index.html which is the root of the guide. It also might be a little more self evident if you rename index.html to Strategy Guide.html.

One last thing ... I just reposted the first message in the former "anthology thread". This should get the excellent work you have done more exposure. Go check it out! (The thread is regularly bumped in the forum.)
-
Even if you have seen this thread before, check out the first post. There is breaking news.
-
One suggestion. For the Tutorial I did for the Tutorial mission, you might just want to embed the screenshots inline. I had originally intended to do as opposed to using links, but the BTS forums have a bandwidth limit on the size of a single post.

By the way, very nice job on the formatting. Recently, I've printed out quite a few of those links for reading material while killing time. There must be about 1,000 pages of stuff there.
It's amazing the amount of valuable material that appeared on that forum and others. If someone wanted to right a strategy guide for CMBO, they would simply have to dredge through the forum looking for the sharpest and most prolific posters like Jasonc.
I just downloaded your zip. It's great. I am going overseas with a computer, but not Internet access for an extended period of time. So, I am going to burn this on a CD to take with me. Of course, I will have CMBO with me too.
-
Correction.
Actually, if you check, you will see that I had compiled that anthology and Russellmz had done the formatting of the links. I tried quite a few times with an editor and HTML, but was unable to get the links to work. Russellmz got the formatting done correctly. After that, I decided to clean up the first message so that it didn't distract people looking for the links.
It was a compilation which I had done for my own education, since there was no strategy guide and I really needed help. I decided that I would share it with the rest of the community from which all the knowledge had sprung.
So, if you are going to acknowledge the source of the compilation, than please correct that. Thank you.

The situation was this: The game forced me to surrender. I did not voluntarily surrender; nor would I ever.
-
Check this out! I surrendered, but I won.

Try this thing which I recently did:

I picked up all my MODs a long time ago; long before CMMOS.
I got them from an article on www.combatmission.com http://www.combatmission.com/mods/MMG.asp
I believe its Rich's gridded grass. The grid is really nice for estimating distances; end to end a grid is 20M.

Silvio,
How was my little CMBO Tutorial tutorial?
-
I was just going to play this mission, "polish airborn at arnhem", off the CD.
I think the mission was improperly saved, since when I select Axis it does not give me the option to play against the AI and asks me for a new Axis password.
-
Voidhawk,
Try anisotropic filtering. That got rid of my sparkling terrain. It makes a huge difference.

If you are new to the game, try this:

It might be of some help for CMBB too.
Recommendations on Sound Mods requested
in Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin
Posted
This is what I arrived at for my CMBB:
(1) Mainly Night Crawlers Sound Pack:
- Didn't like whistling arty.
- Tanks too quiet.
- Penetrations not impressive.
(2) Removed tank sounds and use the
defaults from CMBB.
(3) Added Father of None's penetration sounds.
(4) Added Beefy's incomming arty sounds.
