Thanks Tank

I saw the thread a while back, and was to busy to DL. Tracers thread reminded me of the pack but I have not been able to locate it.

My best wishes to Abbott and his family. I hope all goes well for your family. [ November 26, 2002, 04:18 PM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

A big thanks to Chris and Gunslinger. One small request please break it down into a couple downloads for us poor 56k guys.

Man I wish you were in Texas. I play P-ball every Sat & Sunday, I hit state tournies all the time to. I am on Ambush, a amatuer team looking to go pro, but its difficult to get a sponsor, unless you have the money to travel and be noticed. I have well over a Grand in all my gear, and have been playing for over 4 years now. We play mainly on Hyperball and speedball fields. Althought I do have 30 acres of densly wooded land with some trenches 5 foot deep and 2 bunkers the same depth that we dug out by hand. Yes nothing but shovels and pic axes. It really sucked took us a month of weekends to finish it. Every so often I get a group of guys together and we hit my property for a weekend of p-ball and camping. A couple tips if your a newbie to pball: If your renting, spend a few more bucks and get a good gun. Usually basic guns are pumpers or a ragged out semiautos that are cheap to begin with. If you get the basic plan for a long day and plenty of welts. The basic pumpers are only gonna give you a rate of fire of at best 1 shot per sec. with very crappy range and accuracy. Basic semiauto will be a litte better but not much. Maybe 2 shots per second and little better range and still crappy accuracy. Try to see if the shop has at least fairly new Spyders or Tippmans. They are not bad but not really a serious p-ball gun, but way better than basic guns at most fields. If they have Autocockers or Angels and you can afford to rent them, this would be my suggestion. I own an Angel that has upgraded electonic trigger frame. with selective fire, semiauto, 3 round burst & full auto. Although most field will allow only semiauto. Tournaments only allow semiauto, but I just had to have the option of fullauto. I figure I am firing about 8 shots a sec on semiauto and who know on fullauto. I just know I filled up my hopper full(200 p-balls and fired all of them in under 10 seconds. YA NO **** my Angel could paint a house on fullauto in know time. One last thing never buy BRASS EAGLE balls, they will break in your gun more than actually fire. Spend a little money on your paint other wise your in for a day of a really messy gun. You ever make it this way let me know, and I show what painball is all about.

I totally agree, for some time I have Sharpe Shooters, kind of lacking in any major role other than suppressing or killing Tank Commanders. I to have had wildly extreme results with sharpe shooters. Example a sharpe shooter and an MG42 in a large building holding a street. Infantry is pushing up this section of road. MG42 is doing his job, but the sharpe shooter, has either extemely effective accuracy or piss poor. 1st shot: at squad of infantry = 1 kill 2nd shot: at another squad of infantry = 2 kills 3rd shot: 4 squads moving from building to building very close to one another = 0 kills 4th shot: 4-6 squads close together = 0 kills 5th shot: Platoon Hq = 1 kills 6th shot: 3 squads close together = 0 kills 7th shot: 5-6 squads close together = 2 kills All shots fired over 3 turns and while not underfire. All shots fired from ranges of 350 meters to 100 meters. I just think if a squard is crossing a road 150 meters out with no cover, 8 times out of 10 at least 1 kill should be accounted for. Also 8 of 10 being the worst case basis. Get me and my .308 out and I will (at the minimum) hit 8 out of 10 at 150 meters. [ October 12, 2002, 08:05 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

I have not used the T-26, or have gone against as of yet, bit I am willing to bet it works as one turret. I am fairly sure BTS/BFC said it was not possible with the current game engine.

I think what I am trying to make sure is that Shatter understands that there is no in-game effect from representing a 105mm gun instead of 150mm gun.</font>

I am running the G4 Ti4600 vid card. I have no problems with AA at any setting. I am using the drivers that came with the card, 4.13.01.2750 Vision Tek (Xtacy). I figured if something were wrong with the drivers I would update, but have had no probs.

Because I can read and DL at the same time. See I am multi talented

No doubt I thought about bumping it earlier, but figured Tom would post a big New Mod thread.

I'll bet we could, but we better plan for the unexpected, becasue something tells me that a guy as crazy as that probably has more than models in his collection. [ October 05, 2002, 03:33 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

2xLOL Now that you mention it he does look like him. That guy is certainly one strange dude. Ya he does have some cool stuff that I would like to see up close, but I gotta put on a SS uniform to see it, then forget it. [ October 04, 2002, 11:10 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

Yes I too enjoyed playing Chance Encounter for CMBB last night also. Hey Tom that e-mail I sent about the links for the scenarios being down, must of just been temp, I got them the next morning. Thanks

Don't forget about the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR Ram. Basically same price as the Radeon 9700 and performance is basically the same. The Radeon is barely beeting the G4 Ti 4600 in framerate, because the G4 Ti 4600 runs a little hotter than the Radeon 9700. I have a G4 Ti 4600 and it runs CMBB like a charm. I bought this card over the Radeon because of the no fog factor with Radeon.

I would not recommend the MX series of vid cards. I just had to get my brother able to play CMBB, let me tell ya it was no fun task. His PC Pent 3 700Mgz 320Mb SD Ram Voodoo 5500 PCI His framerate while scrolling was so terrible, it was more or less not worth playing CMBB. So I decided to help him out. I thought first to get him a new vid card, help because he only has PCI on his motherboard, no AGP. The only card I could find better than his Voodoo 5500 was the G4 MX440 PCI. It was worse than the Voodoo 5500 hundred in every way, graphics sucked and so did framerate. Ya you may have AGP and the G4 MX440 would do better than the PCI version, but I did alot of research before getting the G4 MX440, and every website review or person I spoke with said the MX cards just are not that great, nothing at all like the G4 ti vid cards. So I decided just give my brother my PC and I had a new one built for myself. My PC I gave to my brother is a Pent 4 2.4Ghz 512MB DDR Ram G4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR Ram AGP VisionTek (Xtacy) New PC I just recieved this week is a Pent 4 2.533Ghz 512MB DDR Ram G4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR Ram AGP VisionTek (Xtacy) Both play CMBB perfectly You might say geez the G4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR RAM that about $350 dollars, thats to much. I have a friend with a Pent 4 1.4Ghz 256 MB DDR Ram G4 Ti4200 128MB DDR Ram AGP LedTek His PC also runs CMBB very well. The only reason I opted for the G4 Ti4600 because it only cost $50 over the G4 Ti4200 with the purchase of the 2 PC's. So I would say if you don't have the cash for a G4 Ti4600 then go with a G4Ti 4200 or G4Ti4400. If you do not have a AGP bus I am sorry to tell, not much is gonna improve your situation, trust me I tried everything on my brothers PC. You can find the G4 Ti 4200 for around $150 if you look around on the net. Retail stores your looking at $180 to $200. Plus the Ledtek will probably cost a little more than the prices I quoted you. Really the Vision Tek (Xtacey) is no better or worse than the Ledtek version. Plus I have heard of an rare problem with LedTek version, having problems with transparency, but that could just be a problem with the LedTek Drivers which is a quick fix. Though my friend has no problems. [ October 04, 2002, 09:19 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

Does anyone know if BTS is planning on getting to all the 3d models that are shared, eventually? I read on a thread that the upcoming patch will have 6-12 new 3d models, with the minor nations being on BTS list of importance.

I know my brother will be able to play the large scenarios. I set up a Huge scenario on it just to see how it would play, and no problems at all. He is getting my old PC which is not old at all, I just got it a couple months ago. Pent 4 2.4 Ghz 40 gig HD 17" monitor G4 Ti 4600 128MB DDR memory Vision Tek (Xtacy) 320 MB DDR Ram DVD/CD-rom CD-RW Basically same setup as you are getting except for the vid card. No fear though, I have a friend who has a G4 Ti 4200 128MB DDR Memory Vision Tek (Xtasy), and runs CMBB great. The only difference I see in the Ti4200 to Ti4600 is with the Ti4200 there is the smallest screen hesitation with Trees & Doo Dads set to Extreme at resolution of 1280 X 1024. Even that is so minor you really don't notice it. You be very happy with what you got. Personally if I have to go buy a G4 Ti vid card only. I would just go get the Ti4200 and save $200. Luckily I got the Ti4600 included in both the PC's I have bought now. [ October 02, 2002, 07:03 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

Tanks when can we DL these beauties? I got a scenario I whipped up over past week that has bunkers and I would love to see your mod in it.

Thanks for the info, but I have had it with my Bros againg PC, it just not worth upgraging. I went out today and got with my local PC guy, (that I had build my last PC, which is going to my Bro). I got: Pent 4 2.533ghz processor 512 MB DDR Ram 40gig Hd G4 Vision Tech(Xtacey)Ti4600 128MB DDRMem Vid card 19" monitor (can't remember brand of the top of my head) Full size tower DVD/CD-rom TDK Burner X24 burn rate Cheap Cannon printer (don't do much printing) Boston Accoustics surround sound speaker, (2 Subwoofers & 6 smaller speakers) And there is more but I can remember right now. All this for $1292 after rebates, and 6 months same as cash. I am really pleased with what I got for the money.

Thanks a lot I was starting to get used to what units were in certain time frames, but this really helps. Great job

Don't waste your time on PCI card, its not gonna help trust me. Today I actually found an Vision Tech G4 MX440 PCI and the piece of crap is worse than the Voodoo 5500 PCI card he already has, and it over 2 years old. Here is the specs listed on G4 MX440 box and found same specs at Nividia site. G4 MX440 Listed as Core Speed: 270 MHz Memory Speed: 400 MHz Only achieved these benchmarks MX440: Core Speed: 150 MHz Memory Speed: 200 MHz. So again don't even waste your time and money. Just get a new mother board and Processor or New PC all together. Mike where did you find the info on the P4 2.4GHz with GEForce Ti 4600 included for $1300??? Also is a whole PC with monitor and Printer and all the others, or just a Tower??? That is really a desent price, and trust me you'll love the G4 Ti4600. Thats what I have in my PC, that I will probably be giving me brother. [ September 29, 2002, 01:17 AM: Message edited by: Shatter ]

Thanks for the links, I did happen to find a G4 MX440, but it was worse than my Bros Voodoo 5500 PCI vid card. I am not really sure where the specs of the card came from becasue they are not right at all, at least with my Bros PC. G4 MX440 Listed as Core Speed: 270 MHz Memory Speed: 400 MHz Only achieved these benchmarks MX440: Core Speed: 150 MHz Memory Speed: 200 MHz. So I am giving up on the PCI crap, and either gonna get a new Motherboard and Processor or a whole new PC and give him mine.

Well I am not sure about the caps, but if you trying to piss me off your doing a pretty good job. :mad: I am trying to help my little brother at (my expense) to get his PC running CMBB desently. Now some damn noobie student punk who has only posted 4 time to the board comes along yelling in my direction. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Now if the caps was not meant I am sorry, but I have been doing all I can for the past 3 days to get my bros PC able to run CMBB and I am very frustrated.
