I guess that means you and I will not be going head to head then? Hmm that gives me an idea for a new thread.... ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Hi I am up for a game Skipper (or anyone else for that matter). I am fairly novice but usually beat or at least draw the computer in scenerios. My only criteria is I play Allies. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

I have tried to find this util but have been unsuccesful. Could someone provide a link? ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

I think the problem is in his email client receiving attachements. The file he sent me via One Click had the spaces in the proper places. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Miles I suspect the problem you are having is due to the spaces in the name. Outlook 2000 shows the file as "st annes 012.zip" and stores it with no problems. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Thanks! This should break my cherry then and make me full fledged I thinK! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

I think I will try out One Click tonight but it would be neat if PBEM also had similar features. There is room enough room for both utilties I think! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Ok any quick way to see how many posts I have. I do hate posting for no reason though... I suppose I can always just recite poetry on the Peng thread.... ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

How does one go from junior to full member status? ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

I think, for me at least, the ability to have the app scan a preselected dir for files is the most important. This feature (which I understand one click has) will allow me to play games with folks who are sending me text files from a mac much more easily. My biggest time waste is usually spent drilling up from "my documents" and then back down to program files\cmbo\pbem. Being able to quickly drop from my documents to a subdirectory below it and leave my attachemnts will be very handy. I think that for this reason I will probably end up using One click for at least the short term. Fuerte you might consider this feature? ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

It would be neat if both programs would work with people using either client. for example if One click would accept .pbem files. And if PBEM had the feature to scan a preset directory for files like One Click does. I think both programs more fine tuning and either is currently a good choice. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Moved up to 40 this week! Keep those votes pouring in! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

I will play with it later tonight when I get home. I think I like it better than PBEM but am not sure yet. Advantages over PBEM I see: 1) it keeps passwords for the game 2) it works eaisier with folks not using it 3) it allows game moves to be saved by adding digits to the moves More on point 2: Instead of clicking on an attachment, you simple save the attachment in a known directory from whence the util will get the files. This is a nice advantage to trying to find the CMBO directory (I will simple create a PBEM directory under My Documents as that is where Outlook 2000 opens by default when you do a file save) and therefore also lets it to be used easier with players not using the util. Normally I have to take the .zip or .txt file they send and find the cmbo directory before using PBEM. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Thanks I will check it out and see how it compares! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Forgive me if this has been discussed but I could not find it in the archives. One of my PBEM buddies showed me a great free PBEM utility. It is at http://www.sci.fi/~fuerte/pbem.htm and is for the PC only. It works for CMBO plus a number of other PBEM games too. It can be used even when your opponent is not using the utility, but really is great when both use it. In its native mode it sends a PBEM file that is already zipped up. It can also just send the regular text file or a zip too. One drawback is it really works best if you do NOT keep changing the current games file name as you play. I.e. do not add +1 to the name for each move. I have had a problem with it on Outlook 2000 but was able to use it in its SMTP mode. Anybody else using this gem? ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Thanks all!

I have installed hi res grass mods on my system. I know they are different than the regular for I see the grid lines when I use the Hi res velvet grass with grid. I was expecting to see actual grass in closeups but it is still just painted ground. Is this correct? I have p3-800 with nVdia GeForce-II 64 meg card. DirectX 8.0 ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

It is up to 44 this week! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

CM has jumped from 65 to 51 this week in www.global100.com charts. These charts are based on end user votes. So go vote! PS I am still just playing the demo. (About wore the poor thing out) Hopefully my full game will be here in the next day or so. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Thanks I am just starting to work through it! Really helpful! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

OK Griff! I sent an email to you, please repsond when you get it. If you don't recieve then please send me one with your correct address. CM Borg you are correct I am in for the duration! BTW I heard from Bigtime and they say my order was processed and my game is on the way. YEA! ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com

Is there a way in the game ( I currently only have the demo) to be able to play back all turns in a game? Not just the last one? If not then it would be a really nice feature to have. ------------------ Scott Adams Not Dilbert, Adventure! www.msadams.com msadams@msadams.com
